UH3C-E3/57T

Single Diodes Overview

The UH3C-E3/57T is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150V. The device utilizes the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package, designed for high-current applications requiring compact footprints. It exhibits a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at rated voltage and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 2.5 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High current density capability in a compact surface-mount package
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• High surge current overload capability

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supplies
• Bridge rectifiers for AC-to-DC conversion
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/57T against official Vishay documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical ratings required for the target circuit design before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3A standard recovery rectifier is needed in an SMC package. Compare forward voltage characteristics and reverse leakage limits against alternative manufacturers to ensure compatibility with thermal management and efficiency requirements of the specific application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's UH series of ultra-high-speed or general-purpose rectifiers housed in the DO-214AB outline. The series provides robust performance for medium-power electronics, balancing current handling capacity with small form-factor constraints common in modern consumer and industrial equipment designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay parts in the same series or equivalent packages from other manufacturers. Verify that substitute components meet or exceed the 150V reverse voltage and 3A current ratings while maintaining compatible pinout configurations.
