Product details
Overview
ES2CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 150 V, 2.0 A surface-mount super-fast rectifier diode in SMA package, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 0.92 V forward voltage at 2.0 A, and 50 A non-repetitive surge rating-used in high-frequency AC/DC adapters and switch-mode power supply output stages.
For engineers reviewing the ES2CA-13-F datasheet, ES2CA-13-F pinout, ES2CA-13-F application, or ES2CA-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (150 V), average rectified current (2.0 A), thermal resistance (20 °C/W), reverse recovery time (25 ns), and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
Technical Context
This super-fast rectifier employs glass-passivated die construction to achieve stable junction performance under transient stress. Its 25 ns reverse recovery time enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz SMPS topologies where switching losses must be minimized.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C with a typical junction-to-terminal thermal resistance of 20 °C/W when mounted on 5.0 mm² copper pads. Peak reverse current remains ≤350 μA at 125 °C and rated blocking voltage.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown in normal operation. |
| IO | 2.0 A @ TT = 110°C - Continuous DC output current capability with thermal derating applied. |
| trr | 25 ns - Measured with IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency switching efficiency. |
| VFM | 0.92 V @ IF = 2.0 A - Forward conduction loss directly impacts power stage efficiency and thermal design. |
| IFSM | 50 A @ 8.3 ms - Surge withstand capacity for line transients and startup inductive kick. |
| RθJT | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-terminal thermal resistance defines minimum PCB copper area needed for thermal management. |
| CT | 25 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design. |
Pinout & Package
ES2CA-13-F uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package: molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode indicated by band, matte tin-plated terminals, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of AC source or transformer secondary in bridge/full-wave rectification. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to positive rail; polarity marking (band) prevents reverse-bias installation error during automated placement. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ES2CB-13-F | 100 V VRRM, same IO/trr/package | Limited to lower-input-voltage SMPS (e.g., 12 V–24 V input) | Select when system peak reverse stress < 100 V and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| ES2CD-13-F | 200 V VRRM, same IO/trr/package | Supports higher-line applications (e.g., 375 V DC bus in PFC stages) | Choose for universal AC input designs requiring margin above 150 V RMS line peaks. |
Compared with ES2CB-13-F and ES2CD-13-F, ES2CA-13-F provides optimal balance of voltage margin (150 V) and conduction efficiency for mid-range offline converters-avoiding overdesign while maintaining robustness against 120 VAC line surges.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for ES2CA-13-F?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation up to this limit when terminal temperature is maintained at ≤110 °C per the derating curve. Thermal design must ensure RθJT (20 °C/W) and PCB copper area meet dissipation requirements under worst-case load conditions.
Is ES2CA-13-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes-ES2CA-13-F features matte tin-plated terminals qualified to MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10 s max). Its moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1, eliminating bake requirements before assembly.
How does the 25 ns reverse recovery time impact EMI in SMPS designs?
A 25 ns trr reduces high-frequency ringing during turn-off, lowering broadband EMI generation in the 30–300 MHz range. This simplifies EMI filter design and helps meet CISPR-22 Class B limits without additional snubbers in well-layouted PCBs with controlled parasitic inductance.
Can ES2CA-13-F replace a standard FR107 in an existing design?
No-FR107 is a 1000 V, 1 A fast recovery diode in DO-41 package. ES2CA-13-F offers higher current (2.0 A) and faster recovery (25 ns vs ~500 ns), but lower VRRM (150 V vs 1000 V). Direct replacement is unsafe unless circuit reverse voltage stress is confirmed ≤150 V and thermal/mechanical layout accommodates SMA footprint.
