Product details
Overview
ES2AAHR3G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 50V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V max forward voltage at 2A/25°C, and 50A peak surge current. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in high-frequency DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ES2AAHR3G datasheet, ES2AAHR3G pinout, ES2AAHR3G application, or ES2AAHR3G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 50V, IF = 2A, trr = 35ns, thermal resistance RθJA = 75°C/W, and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier uses glass-passivated junction technology to achieve stable performance across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Its low-profile DO-214AC package supports high-density PCB layouts while meeting J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance.
The device delivers 35ns reverse recovery time under IF = 0.5A / IR = 1.0A / Irr = 0.25A test conditions, enabling efficient operation in switching-mode power supplies up to several hundred kHz. Junction capacitance is 25pF at 1MHz and 4.0V reverse bias, supporting minimal switching loss in snubber networks.
Key Specifications

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Snubber Network Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in secondary-side rectification of isolated flyback or forward converters delivering 5–24V outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling rectifier conducting during transformer reset phase; handles continuous 2A DC output current. Use Value: 0.95V VF minimizes conduction loss; 35ns trr prevents reverse recovery oscillation at 250kHz switching frequency. | Use Scenario: Placed across MOSFET drain-source or transformer primary to clamp voltage spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-on clamping diode absorbing inductive energy during switch turn-off. Use Value: 25pF CJ and 35ns trr enable precise spike timing control without excessive ringing or delayed conduction. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts inductor current when main switch is off; sustains LED current continuity. Use Value: 150°C TJMAX supports operation in thermally constrained enclosed fixtures; DO-214AC fits compact LED module footprints. | Use Scenario: Rectifies auxiliary winding output in half-bridge or full-bridge inverters for gate drive or bias supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts AC from auxiliary winding into regulated DC for control IC power rails. Use Value: 50A IFSM withstands startup surges; 75°C/W RθJA allows direct mounting on small copper areas without heatsink. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R06 | VRRM = 600V, trr = 30ns, VF = 1.15V @ 2A, DO-214AC | Higher voltage rating suits 400V bus systems; slightly higher VF increases conduction loss at 50V use | Select when designing for universal input or higher bus voltages; not drop-in for 50V-only designs due to over-spec'd VRRM |
| MBR2505CT | 50V Schottky, dual common-cathode, IF = 2.5A per diode, TO-220AC | Lower VF (~0.5V) but higher leakage and no 50V VRRM margin; through-hole package requires layout change | Choose only if ultra-low VF is critical and board space/layout revision is acceptable |
Compared with STTH2R06 and MBR2505CT, ES2AAHR3G offers optimal balance of 50V rating, 35ns speed, and DO-214AC SMT compatibility for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 2A DC-DC outputs-without over-engineering voltage margin or changing assembly process.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES2AAHR3G?
The ES2AAHR3G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, allowing reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial power supplies. This rating is validated under continuous IF = 2A operation with proper PCB copper area and ambient conditions below 75°C. Derating curves in the ES2AA–ES2JA datasheet confirm usable current down to 0A at 150°C ambient.
Does ES2AAHR3G have a RoHS and halogen-free certification?
Yes, ES2AAHR3G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound and matte tin-plated leads meet these environmental standards, and the device carries the "G" suffix in its marking code (ES2AAHR3G) to denote green compound. This makes ES2AAHR3G suitable for consumer, industrial, and automotive-qualified applications requiring strict material declarations.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for ES2AAHR3G?
The reverse recovery time of 35ns for ES2AAHR3G is measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and Irr = 0.25A, per JEDEC guidelines. This reflects real-world behavior during hard-switching transitions in DC-DC converters. The value is guaranteed maximum, and typical performance is tighter, supporting stable operation up to 500kHz in well-designed layouts.
Can ES2AAHR3G be used as a direct replacement for ES2BAHR3G in a 100V design?
No, ES2AAHR3G is not suitable as a direct replacement for ES2BAHR3G in a 100V design because its VRRM is only 50V. Exceeding this rating risks catastrophic failure during voltage transients or steady-state operation. ES2BAHR3G (100V) and ES2CAHR3G (150V) are appropriate alternatives for higher-voltage applications; always verify reverse voltage margin against worst-case system conditions before substitution.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and floor life of ES2AAHR3G?
ES2AAHR3G has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH and does not require dry pack or baking before surface-mount assembly. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates reflow defects related to popcorning, making ES2AAHR3G ideal for high-volume SMT production lines without special handling protocols.
