Product details
Overview
ES2AA from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 50V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V forward voltage at 2A/25°C, and 50A peak surge current - deployed in DC-DC converters and snubber circuits for high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the ES2AA datasheet, ES2AA pinout, ES2AA application, or ES2AA equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (50V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 20°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial power designs.
Technical Context
The ES2AA is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-frequency switching applications. Its super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) minimizes switching losses, while glass passivation ensures stable junction performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with matte tin-plated leads (J-STD-002 compliant), the device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and supports automated placement due to its low-profile DO-214AC (SMA) package and moisture sensitivity level 1 rating per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in DC-DC flyback or freewheeling paths |
| IF | 2 A - Continuous average forward current; sets steady-state conduction capability in 24V/48V converter outputs |
| trr | 35 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; enables >100 kHz switching without excessive reverse recovery loss |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 2A, 25°C - Forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in compact power stages |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or metal-core board |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands inrush and transient overloads in SMPS startup |
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 MUR220 | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.05 V @ 2A - higher voltage rating but same speed and slightly higher drop | Suitable where system requires margin above 50V reverse stress, e.g., 12V input with line transients | Select ES2AA when 50V VRRM suffices and lowest forward loss is prioritized |
| Vishay VS-2EYH01-M3/54 | VRRM = 100 V, trr = 25 ns, VF = 0.93 V @ 2A - faster recovery and lower drop, but different marking and packaging (reel count) | Better suited for >200 kHz resonant topologies requiring minimal Qrr | Choose ES2AA for cost-sensitive, volume production with proven DO-214AC footprint compatibility |
Compared with MUR220 and VS-2EYH01-M3/54, the ES2AA offers the lowest forward voltage among 50V-class super fast rectifiers and optimal thermal resistance for space-constrained layouts - making it preferred where efficiency and thermal headroom are critical within its 50V rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES2AA?
The ES2AA has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of –55°C. This wide operating range allows reliable use in industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C. The device's RθJL of 20°C/W supports effective heat transfer to the PCB, helping maintain the ES2AA within its rated TJ even under sustained 2A conduction.
Is ES2AA RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, the ES2AA is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards, and its matte tin-plated leads satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These certifications make the ES2AA suitable for export to EU, Japan, and other regulated markets without material declaration concerns.
What does the "AA" suffix indicate in ES2AA?
The "AA" suffix in ES2AA specifies the 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating within the ES2x family. Per TSC's ordering code, "x" maps to voltage grade: AA = 50V, BA = 100V, CA = 150V, etc. All ES2x variants share identical DO-214AC (SMA) packaging, thermal performance, and super fast recovery characteristics - only VRRM, VF, and IR vary by grade.
Can ES2AA be used as a direct replacement for 1N5819 in low-voltage applications?
No - the ES2AA is not a direct replacement for the 1N5819. While both are Schottky-like rectifiers, the 1N5819 is a Schottky diode (VF ≈ 0.45V, no recovery time), whereas the ES2AA is a super fast silicon PN rectifier (VF = 0.95V, trr = 35 ns). Substituting ES2AA for 1N5819 increases conduction loss and may affect regulation in low-VIN buck designs; verify thermal and efficiency impact before replacement.
What is the reverse recovery time test condition for ES2AA?
The ES2AA reverse recovery time (trr) is measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A, per the manufacturer's electrical specifications table. This standardized test reflects real-world switching behavior in hard-commutated topologies. The typical value is ≤35 ns, with no maximum specified - confirming consistent super fast performance across production lots of the ES2AA.
