Product details
Overview
ES1A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode in SMA package, rated for 50V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 25ns reverse recovery time, and 30A non-repetitive surge current. It serves as primary AC/DC input rectifier in compact offline power supplies for consumer adapters and USB-C PD chargers.
For engineers reviewing the ES1A-13 datasheet, ES1A-13 pinout, ES1A-13 application, or ES1A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25ns tRR, 0.90V VFM at 0.6A, 25°C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, and suitability for automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs with 5.0 mm² copper pad heat sinking.
Technical Context
This super-fast recovery rectifier uses glass-passivated silicon die to achieve low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and minimal switching loss in high-frequency flyback and buck-derived topologies operating up to 100 kHz. Its 25ns tRR enables efficient operation where fast turn-off reduces cross-conduction losses in synchronous rectification auxiliary paths.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C with derated average current above +110°C terminal temperature. Its 20 pF typical junction capacitance at 4V reverse bias supports stable EMI performance in noise-sensitive low-power SMPS designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without avalanche breakdown |
| IO | 1.0 A - Continuous average forward current at TT = +110°C with PCB heat sinking |
| tRR | 25 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, IRR = 0.25A; enables <100 kHz switching efficiency |
| VFM | 0.90 V @ 0.6A - Forward drop defining conduction loss in 5–12V output rectification stages |
| RθJT | 25 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to soldered terminal; requires ≥5 mm² copper pad for full rating |
| IFSM | 30 A - Single half-sine surge rating; withstands inrush into bulk capacitors up to 100 µF |
| CT | 20 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency ringing and EMI filter design |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR105 | Same 50V VRRM, but 35ns tRR and 1.1V VFM @ 1.0A; TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when higher surge robustness (50A IFSM) outweighs size and assembly cost constraints |
| Vishay ES1AHE3_A/H | Identical electrical specs and SMA package; AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive | Qualified for under-hood ambient (TJ = 150°C) and vibration; higher traceability requirements | Select for automotive body electronics where PPAP documentation and lot traceability are mandatory |
Compared with MUR105 and ES1AHE3_A/H, ES1A-13 offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, 25ns speed, and cost for consumer-grade power supplies-where automotive qualification or through-hole mechanical ruggedness are not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper pad area for thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies a 5.0 mm² copper pad (0.013 mm thick) as the reference for RθJT = 25°C/W. Increasing pad area beyond this improves thermal resistance linearly-e.g., 10 mm² reduces RθJT to ~18°C/W-but requires verifying solder mask clearance and stencil aperture design for reliable reflow wetting.
Can ES1A-13 replace a standard FR107 in an existing design?
Yes, ES1A-13 is a direct functional replacement for FR107 in most cases: both are 1A, 50V, SMA-packaged rectifiers. However, ES1A-13's 25ns tRR (vs. FR107's 500ns) reduces switching loss significantly-verify snubber network values are not over-damped due to faster diode turn-off.
Is ES1A-13 suitable for use in a PFC boost diode position?
No. ES1A-13 is not rated for continuous high-voltage PFC operation: its 50V VRRM is insufficient for 400V DC bus applications. PFC boost diodes require ≥600V rating (e.g., DFLS160) and optimized Qrr/IF trade-offs not provided by this super-fast general-purpose rectifier.
Does the "-13" suffix indicate tape-and-reel packaging?
Yes. Per Diodes Incorporated ordering information, "-13" denotes 5000-piece tape-and-reel packaging in SMA case format. The "-13-F" variant adds RoHS compliance marking; ES1A-13 is functionally identical and RoHS-compliant per Note 1 in the datasheet.
