Product details
Overview
EGF1THE3/5CA from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount glass-passivated ultrafast rectifier diode in GF1 (DO-214BA) package, rated for 1300 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current, and 75 ns typical reverse recovery time. It delivers low switching losses and 15 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive photoflash and high-voltage DC power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the EGF1THE3/5CA datasheet, EGF1THE3/5CA pinout, EGF1THE3/5CA application, or EGF1THE3/5CA equivalent, key selection criteria include ultrafast recovery (75 ns), 1300 V blocking capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W), and DO-214BA mechanical compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
This discrete ultrafast rectifier uses a Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass-passivated junction to ensure high reliability under repetitive surge and thermal stress. Its 75 ns reverse recovery time and 3.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A enable efficient high-frequency switching in flyback and boost converters.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, supports 20 A non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), and meets MIL-S-19500 environmental standards and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance with matte tin-plated leads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay EGP10AHE3/A | Same GF1 package, but 1000 V VRRM, 100 ns trr, lower EAS (10 mJ) | Not suitable for 1300 V systems; acceptable only where voltage derating allows | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 1300 V margin or faster recovery |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1100E | DO-41 package, 1000 V VRRM, 100 ns trr, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires PCB redesign; not qualified for automotive use | Choose only for non-automotive, through-hole legacy designs with lower voltage requirements |
Compared with EGF1THE3/5CA, EGP10AHE3/A trades 300 V blocking headroom and 25 ns speed for lower cost in less demanding applications, while MUR1100E sacrifices automotive qualification and package compatibility for broad distributor availability in general-purpose designs.

FAQ
Is EGF1THE3/5CA still in active production?
No - EGF1THE3/5CA is marked "Not for New Designs" per Vishay document 88904 (Revision: 24-Oct-2022). It remains available for legacy program support and existing design continuity, but Vishay does not recommend it for new schematics. Engineers designing new products should consult Vishay's latest ultrafast rectifier portfolio for qualified replacements. EGF1THE3/5CA continues to be stocked and supported by Aetrix Electronics for ongoing production needs.
What does the "HE3/5CA" suffix indicate in EGF1THE3/5CA?
The "HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "5CA" specifies the revision code and packaging variant (7" tape and reel, 1500 units per reel). This full part number identifies a specific manufacturing lot and compliance configuration - EGF1THE3/5CA is not interchangeable with EGF1THE3_A or EGF1THE3_B without verifying revision-controlled parameters and test reports.
Can EGF1THE3/5CA replace a standard FR107 diode?
No - EGF1THE3/5CA is not a drop-in replacement for FR107. While both are DO-214BA ultrafast rectifiers, FR107 has 1000 V VRRM and 500 ns trr, whereas EGF1THE3/5CA offers 1300 V VRRM and 75 ns trr. Substituting EGF1THE3/5CA may cause overvoltage stress in FR107-designed circuits due to higher leakage and different capacitance (8.0 pF vs. ~5 pF), and its tighter thermal limits require verified PCB layout adaptation.
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for EGF1THE3/5CA to achieve rated IF(AV)?
To sustain 1.0 A average forward current at ambient temperatures up to 75 °C, EGF1THE3/5CA requires mounting on a minimum 0.95" × 0.95" (24 mm × 24 mm) copper pad area per Vishay thermal data. Smaller pads increase junction temperature beyond 150 °C, risking premature failure. The device's RθJA = 50 °C/W assumes this pad size; reducing pad area proportionally de-rates IF(AV) - e.g., halving pad area raises RθJA to ~75 °C/W and limits IF(AV) to ~0.7 A.
Does EGF1THE3/5CA support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - EGF1THE3/5CA is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with MSL Level 1 rating and maximum peak temperature of 250 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads meet JESD22-B102 for solderability and JESD201 Class 2 for whisker resistance. No pre-baking is required before reflow, and standard Pb-free profiles (e.g., IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D) can be used without modification when mounted on specified 24 mm × 24 mm copper pads.
