ESH3C R7G

Single Diodes Overview

The ESH3C R7G is an ultra-fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single diode configuration housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 900 mV at rated current and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 uA. Its ultra-fast recovery time is specified as 20 ns, supporting high-frequency switching applications. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C and can withstand a maximum surge current of 125 A.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R7G against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm packaging details and marking codes. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the official documentation. Check for any recent product change notices or lifecycle updates, as availability may vary. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard reel quantities.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 V rating and 3 A continuous current are required in a compact SMC package. The 20 ns recovery time makes it suitable for applications demanding faster switching than standard fast-recovery diodes. Compare the 900 mV forward voltage drop against system efficiency requirements. Ensure the DO-214AB footprint matches the PCB design constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ES3x series of ultra-fast recovery rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. The ESH3C variant specifically targets the 150 V breakdown voltage segment within this lineup, providing a balance between speed and current capacity for general-purpose power electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the DO-214AB package, 3 A current rating, 150 V voltage rating, and comparable 20 ns recovery time. Verify that alternative parts meet the same thermal and electrical safety standards.
