Product details
Overview
EGP50G-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated ultrafast rectifier diode rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 5.0 A average forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time, with 0.95 V forward voltage at 5.0 A. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling and output rectifier in high-frequency switching-mode power supplies for telecom and computing infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the EGP50G-E3/54 datasheet, EGP50G-E3/54 pinout, EGP50G-E3/54 application, or EGP50G-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V VRRM rating, 150 A non-repetitive surge capability, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, RoHS-compliant construction, and GP20 molded epoxy package with matte tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon rectifier uses a cavity-free glass-passivated junction to achieve ultrafast switching (trr = 50 ns) and low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C). Its thermal resistance is 20 °C/W junction-to-ambient and 5.0 °C/W junction-to-lead (0.375" lead length), enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under continuous load.
The device exhibits 95 pF typical junction capacitance at 4.0 V / 1 MHz and maintains stable forward voltage (0.95 V @ 5 A, 25 °C) across temperature, supporting high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in compact, thermally constrained designs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH5L06 | 600 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), trr = 65 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 5 A | Higher voltage margin but slower recovery and higher conduction loss | Preferred when system requires >400 V blocking with moderate switching frequency (<80 kHz) |
| ON Semi MUR560E | 600 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), trr = 75 ns, VF = 1.2 V @ 5 A, TO-220AC package | Higher thermal mass but larger footprint and no axial lead form factor | Selected when board-level heatsinking is available and 600 V design margin is mandatory |
Compared with STTH5L06 and MUR560E, EGP50G-E3/54 offers the lowest trr (50 ns) and VF (0.95 V) in axial GP20 packaging, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency (>100 kHz) rectification where thermal and electrical efficiency are prioritized over voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for EGP50G-E3/54?
The EGP50G-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of 150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88585. This rating allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as sealed power modules or fanless industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe current limits above 55 °C ambient, and the device maintains stable VF and trr performance up to this limit. EGP50G-E3/54 must be mounted with appropriate thermal relief on PCBs to avoid exceeding TJ max. under full load.
Does EGP50G-E3/54 meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, EGP50G-E3/54 complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and is qualified for lead-free soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 standards. Its matte tin-plated leads withstand solder dip at 260 °C for 40 seconds, and the GP20 epoxy body meets UL 94V-0 flammability. The "E3" suffix confirms consumer-grade qualification including JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing. EGP50G-E3/54 is not AEC-Q101 qualified - that requires the HE3 suffix variant.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for EGP50G-E3/54, and under what test conditions?
The EGP50G-E3/54 has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 50 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per Vishay Document Number 88585. This ultrafast value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and enables efficient operation in switching-mode power supplies operating above 100 kHz. The trr contributes directly to reduced switching losses compared to standard fast recovery diodes. EGP50G-E3/54 maintains this trr stability due to its cavity-free glass-passivated junction structure.
Is EGP50G-E3/54 suitable for use in automotive applications?
No, EGP50G-E3/54 is not qualified for automotive use. It carries the "E3" suffix indicating consumer-grade qualification (JESD201 Class 1A), not AEC-Q101. For automotive applications, the HE3-suffix variant (e.g., EGP50GHE3/54) is required - it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing and JESD201 Class 2 whisker requirements. EGP50G-E3/54 lacks the extended temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock validation needed for under-hood or safety-critical systems. Always specify EGP50GHE3/54 for automotive designs.
What package type and lead finish does EGP50G-E3/54 use?
EGP50G-E3/54 uses the GP20 molded epoxy package: 1.0" × 0.285" body with axial matte tin-plated leads, cathode identified by a color band. The epoxy meets UL 94V-0 flammability, and leads are solderable per J-STD-002. The "/54" in the part number denotes 13" paper tape and reel packaging (1400 units per reel). Lead finish and geometry are optimized for wave and reflow soldering; no pre-tinning or special flux is required for EGP50G-E3/54 assembly.
