Product details
Overview
ES1A R3G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 A, 50 V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V max forward voltage at 1 A, and 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C - used in DC-DC converter output stages for high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the ES1A R3G datasheet, ES1A R3G pinout, ES1A R3G application, or ES1A R3G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 35 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and lighting power supplies.
Technical Context
The ES1A R3G employs a glass-passivated single-die silicon junction optimized for super-fast switching in low-voltage, high-frequency rectification. Its 35 ns trr enables reduced switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS topologies, while the DO-214AC package supports automated placement and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
Designed for unidirectional conduction with cathode-band polarity marking, it delivers stable 1 A average forward current up to 150 °C junction temperature and withstands 30 A non-repetitive surge (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for freewheeling and snubber roles in compact power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines safe operating ceiling in 24–48 V DC-DC outputs. |
| IF | 1 A continuous - rated average forward current at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 75°C per forward current derating curve. |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency operation with minimal switching loss. |
| VF (max) | 0.95 V at IF = 1 A, TJ = 25°C - low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage secondary-side rectification. |
| RθJL | 35 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; supports direct PCB copper pad heat sinking for thermal management. |
| IR (max) | 5 µA at VR = 50 V, TJ = 25°C - low leakage preserves hold-up energy in standby and light-load conditions. |
| Junction Temp | –55 to +150 °C - wide operating range enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, molded epoxy case meeting UL 94V-0; matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | LED Driver Snubber Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24 V input → 5/12 V output flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional power diode conducting during transformer reset phase; replaces slower 1N400x series. Use Value: 35 ns trr minimizes switching loss and EMI generation compared to standard recovery diodes. | Use Scenario: Voltage spike suppression across MOSFET drain-source in constant-current LED drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast clamping diode absorbing inductive kickback during PWM switching transitions. Use Value: Low VF (0.95 V) and fast turn-off reduce power dissipation in high-duty-cycle snubbers. |
| Freewheeling in Buck Regulators | Lighting Ballast Input Bridge |
Use Scenario: Freewheel path for inductor current in 12–48 V input buck regulators powering industrial sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts during high-side switch off-time; must sustain 1 A average and 30 A surge peaks. Use Value: RθJL = 35 °C/W allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, enabling reliable operation at 100% load. | Use Scenario: Input rectification stage in electronic CFL or LED tube ballasts operating from 100–240 V AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One leg of full-wave bridge; handles 1 A RMS input current with low conduction loss. Use Value: 50 V VRRM suits low-line applications; 5 µA IR prevents excessive no-load power draw. |
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 | VRRM = 50 V, trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.05 V @ 1 A - slower recovery and higher forward drop. | Higher switching loss in >250 kHz designs; acceptable in lower-frequency buck or linear-regulated supplies. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and layout allows minor thermal margin increase. |
| Vishay VS-1EWH05 | VRRM = 50 V, trr = 30 ns, VF = 0.92 V @ 1 A - slightly faster and lower VF, but DO-214AA (SMB) package. | Larger footprint requires PCB redesign; better suited where ultra-low loss justifies layout change. | Select only if 30 ns trr and 0.92 V VF deliver measurable system-level efficiency gain. |
Compared with MUR105 and VS-1EWH05, the ES1A R3G offers the optimal balance of 35 ns recovery speed, 0.95 V forward voltage, DO-214AC compatibility, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture rating - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-frequency industrial DC-DC modules requiring proven SMT robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES1A R3G?
The ES1A R3G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and a minimum of –55 °C. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by thermal derating curves showing 1 A forward current capability down to 75 °C ambient before linear derating begins. The ES1A R3G maintains stable electrical performance across this full range when mounted on appropriate copper area.
Does ES1A R3G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the ES1A R3G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version O2112). The molding compound and plating materials are certified to these environmental standards, making ES1A R3G suitable for export-compliant industrial and lighting products.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for ES1A R3G?
The ES1A R3G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, tested under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This value is specified in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table and applies directly to the ES1A R3G variant. It reflects the device's super fast switching capability, critical for minimizing losses in high-frequency DC-DC converters.
Is ES1A R3G pin-compatible with other DO-214AC rectifiers like 1N4007?
No, ES1A R3G is not pin-compatible with 1N4007. While both use axial-lead packages, the ES1A R3G uses DO-214AC (SMA), a surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, whereas 1N4007 uses DO-41, a through-hole package. Physical mounting, soldering method, and PCB footprint differ fundamentally. The ES1A R3G replaces slower SMD rectifiers such as MMSD103 or similar DO-214AC devices.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of ES1A R3G at rated current?
The ES1A R3G has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at 1 A forward current and 25 °C junction temperature, as specified in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS table. This value is confirmed for the ES1A variant only; higher-voltage members of the ES1x family (e.g., ES1J) exhibit higher VF. At elevated temperatures, VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics.
