Product details
Overview
ES1CL from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 150V super fast surface-mount rectifier diode in Sub SMA package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 1 A, and 30 A peak surge current - used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode power supplies for high-efficiency freewheeling.
For engineers reviewing the ES1CL datasheet, ES1CL pinout, ES1CL application, or ES1CL equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (150 V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 35 °C/W), junction temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).
Technical Context
The ES1CL is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its super-fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) and low forward voltage minimize conduction and switching losses in compact power stages.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the Sub SMA case.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier for small offline flyback or buck-derived auxiliary converter. Use Value: Sub SMA footprint fits tight board areas; MSL 1 simplifies high-volume SMT line integration without dry-pack handling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR115 | VRRM = 150 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.93 V @ 1 A - nearly identical electrical specs; Sub SMA package | Same footprint and thermal performance; qualified for automotive AEC-Q101 | Preferred where automotive qualification is required; otherwise functionally interchangeable |
| Vishay VS-ES1D | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 0.95 V @ 1 A - higher VRRM, same speed and forward drop | Supports designs needing margin above 150 V reverse stress (e.g., 120 VAC-derived rails) | Select when system-level reverse voltage derating requires ≥200 V rating; not drop-in due to different marking and minor thermal resistance variation |
Compared with MUR115 and VS-ES1D, the ES1CL offers optimal cost-performance balance for non-automotive 150 V-rated SMPS, with identical speed and lower procurement lead time in standard commercial volumes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES1CL?
The ES1CL has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and a minimum of –55 °C. This wide operating range supports use in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Derating curves in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet show that at TA = 75 °C, the device maintains its full 1 A average forward current rating when mounted on a standard 1-inch² copper pad. The ES1CL's RθJL of 35 °C/W enables predictable thermal design without forced air cooling.
Does ES1CL have a specified reverse recovery time, and how is it measured?
Yes, the ES1CL has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, tested under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor ES1AL–ES1JL datasheet (Version L2103). The test circuit and waveform definitions are illustrated in Figure 6. Because trr directly impacts switching loss and EMI, this parameter makes the ES1CL suitable for 100 kHz–1 MHz power topologies where standard rectifiers would overheat.
Is ES1CL compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the ES1CL is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the Sub SMA molding compound is rated UL 94V-0. With Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, the ES1CL can be placed directly into reflow ovens without pre-baking - eliminating process steps and reducing risk of popcorn cracking. This makes the ES1CL ideal for high-throughput SMT lines producing consumer and industrial power supplies.
What does the marking code "ECL" indicate on the ES1CL device body?
The marking code "ECL" on the ES1CL body identifies it as the 150 V variant within the ES1xL family. Per the Taiwan Semiconductor ordering matrix, "E" denotes the ES1 series, "C" specifies VRRM = 150 V, and "L" indicates the Sub SMA package. This marking is laser-etched on the cathode-end surface and aligns with JEDEC-standard polarity identification - the band adjacent to "ECL" marks the cathode terminal. No additional date or factory codes are required for basic identification of the ES1CL.
How does ES1CL's junction capacitance affect high-frequency performance?
The ES1CL exhibits a typical junction capacitance (CJ) of 10 pF at 4.0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, per the datasheet's Electrical Specifications table. This low CJ minimizes displacement current during rapid voltage transitions, reducing EMI generation and gate-drive loading in synchronous rectifier circuits. In practice, this enables clean switching waveforms in 500 kHz–1 MHz DC-DC converters - unlike higher-CJ general-purpose rectifiers that induce ringing and require snubbers. The ES1CL's CJ remains stable across its rated voltage range, supporting consistent timing behavior.
