Product details
Overview
ES1CLH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 150V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in Sub SMA package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability-used in DC-DC converter freewheeling paths and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ES1CLH datasheet, ES1CLH pinout, ES1CLH application, or ES1CLH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (150 V), surge current rating (30 A), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), thermal resistance (RθJL = 35°C/W), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses glass-passivated junction technology to achieve fast switching with low forward conduction loss and minimal reverse recovery charge. Its Sub SMA package supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 5 µA max reverse leakage at 25°C and 100 µA at 125°C, and exhibits 10 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias-enabling stable high-frequency operation in compact power stages.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 150 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or snubber applications |
| IF | 1 A continuous - average forward current rating at TL = 75°C; determines steady-state power dissipation capability |
| IFSM | 30 A - non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports inrush and transient overload handling |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient high-frequency switching |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 1 A, 25°C - forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design in DC-DC stages |
| CJ | 10 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - junction capacitance; affects high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter sizing |
| RθJL | 35 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCB copper |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-ES1CA-M3/5BT | Same Sub SMA package, 150 V VRRM, but trr = 50 ns (vs. 35 ns); VF = 0.98 V @ 1 A | Slightly higher recovery loss in >500 kHz converters; otherwise interchangeable in 100–300 kHz designs | Prefer ES1CLH where faster recovery is critical for efficiency or EMI control |
| ON Semiconductor ES1C | Identical VRRM, IF, trr, and package-but not AEC-Q101 qualified; MSL Level 1 retained | Not approved for automotive use; suitable for industrial/commercial power supplies only | Select ES1CLH when automotive qualification or extended temperature validation is required |
Compared with VS-ES1CA-M3/5BT and ES1C, the ES1CLH delivers superior reverse recovery speed and certified automotive reliability-making it the preferred choice for high-efficiency, safety-critical, or thermally constrained applications where both performance and compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of the ES1CLH?
The ES1CLH has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 150 V. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2103). It defines the maximum reverse-biased voltage the ES1CLH can block continuously without breakdown under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for 12 V automotive systems with load dump transients.
Is the ES1CLH AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the ES1CLH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the FEATURES section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-ensuring suitability for automotive applications such as lighting and body electronics where reliability is mission-critical.
What is the forward voltage drop of the ES1CLH at rated current?
The ES1CLH exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.95 V at 1 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, per the Electrical Specifications table. This low VF contributes to reduced conduction losses in high-duty-cycle applications like DC-DC output rectification, directly improving system efficiency and easing thermal management for the ES1CLH.
What is the reverse recovery time of the ES1CLH and how is it measured?
The ES1CLH 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 parameter is specified in the Electrical Specifications section and reflects the diode's ability to transition rapidly from conduction to blocking state-critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency power converters using the ES1CLH.
What package type does the ES1CLH use and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The ES1CLH uses the Sub SMA package, as confirmed in the MECHANICAL DATA and ORDERING INFORMATION sections. Key attributes include matte tin-plated leads (solderable per J-STD-002), polarity indicated by cathode band, UL 94V-0 molding compound, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and MSL Level 1-ensuring the ES1CLH supports lead-free reflow without moisture-related defects.
