Product details
Overview
EGL41B-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount glass-passivated ultrafast rectifier diode in DO-213AB (GL41) package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr); used in high-frequency freewheeling and output rectification in SMPS for consumer and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the EGL41B-E3/96 datasheet, EGL41B-E3/96 pinout, EGL41B-E3/96 application, or EGL41B-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultrafast switching (50 ns trr), low VF (1.25 V @ 1.0 A), high surge capability (30 A IFSM), 175 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-anode/cathode Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass-passivated junction, enabling stable operation under high dv/dt and thermal stress. Its ultrafast recovery (50 ns) and low stored charge minimize switching losses in hard-switched topologies.
Designed for automated SMT placement, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak, and features UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding compound. Polarity is marked by two bands: green (device type) and red (100 V VRRM rating).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback/clamp circuits |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A at TT = 75 °C - continuous DC output current capability with standard PCB copper pad layout |
| trr | 50 ns - ultrafast reverse recovery enables >100 kHz switching without excessive loss or ringing |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 1.0 A - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design margin |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak non-repetitive surge current handling for startup/inrush protection in AC-DC converters |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports compact, high-power-density designs |
| CJ | 14 pF @ 4.0 V, 1 MHz - low junction capacitance reduces capacitive coupling and EMI in high-speed switching nodes |

Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Output Rectification | Automotive DC-DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12–24 W wall adapters with 65–100 kHz flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path during transformer reset phase; blocks reverse voltage during primary switch on-time. Use Value: 50 ns trr minimizes dead-time loss and improves light-load efficiency vs. standard fast recovery diodes. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V buck converters powering infotainment ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path when high-side MOSFET turns off. Use Value: 1.25 V VF and 175 °C TJ rating ensure stable operation under under-hood thermal conditions (≥105 °C ambient). |
| Server PSU Hold-Up Capacitor Charging | Industrial Motor Drive Snubber Network |
Use Scenario: Inrush limiting and hold-up capacitor charging in redundant 48 V server PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts initial charge current then blocks reverse discharge during AC line dropout. Use Value: 30 A IFSM withstands high peak currents during cold-start without degradation. | Use Scenario: Clamp diode in RCD snubber across IGBTs in 3-phase 2 kW motor drives.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R06U | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), 65 ns trr, TO-277 package | Higher voltage rating suits 400 V bus systems; larger footprint requires layout change | Choose when >400 V reverse stress is present; not drop-in due to package and trr difference |
| ES1B-E3/54 | 100 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), 35 ns trr, SMA package, 0.875 V VF | Lower VF and faster trr improve efficiency but lower IFSM (25 A) limits surge robustness | Prefer for efficiency-critical, low-surge applications; verify layout compatibility with SMA footprint |
Compared with STTH1R06U and ES1B-E3/54, EGL41B-E3/96 offers balanced trade-offs: 100 V rating matches common 12–24 V output rails, 50 ns trr ensures clean switching, and 30 A IFSM provides superior surge margin-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding consumer and automotive SMPS.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for EGL41B-E3/96?
The EGL41B-E3/96 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive applications or enclosed power supplies. This rating is validated per the Vishay datasheet revision dated 18-May-2021 and reflects sustained thermal capability under rated electrical conditions.
Does EGL41B-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, EGL41B-E3/96 is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix) and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C, meeting J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and it passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing.
What does the "red" second band indicate on EGL41B-E3/96?
The red second band on EGL41B-E3/96 denotes its repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 100 V (VRRM), per Vishay's standardized color coding for the EGL41x family. The first (green) band identifies the device as an EGL41-series ultrafast rectifier, and polarity is confirmed with the banded end as cathode.
How does the 50 ns reverse recovery time of EGL41B-E3/96 impact converter efficiency?
The 50 ns trr of EGL41B-E3/96 significantly reduces switching losses in hard-switched topologies like flyback and buck converters operating above 65 kHz. Faster recovery minimizes reverse conduction overlap with the main switch, lowering heat generation and improving overall system efficiency-especially at light-to-moderate loads.
Is EGL41B-E3/96 suitable for use in automotive-grade power modules?
Yes, EGL41B-E3/96 is widely deployed in automotive DC-DC converters and body control modules due to its 175 °C TJ max., MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and robust glass-passivated junction. It meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements when qualified per Vishay's automotive-grade variants, and its 30 A IFSM supports cold-crank surge conditions.
