Product details
Overview
ES2CA M2G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2A, 150V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V max forward voltage at 2A, and 50A peak surge current - deployed in DC-DC converters and snubber circuits for high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the ES2CA M2G datasheet, ES2CA M2G pinout, ES2CA M2G application, or ES2CA M2G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 150V, IF = 2A, trr = 35ns, thermal resistance RθJA = 75°C/W, and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This single-die 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 JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
The device delivers super-fast switching with trr ≤ 35ns under IF = 0.5A / IR = 1.0A / Irr = 0.25A test conditions, enabling reduced switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Junction capacitance is 25pF at 1MHz and 4V reverse bias, supporting predictable high-speed waveform behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or freewheeling configurations |
| IF | 2 A continuous - Rated average forward current; determines heatsink-free operation up to ambient 75°C per derating curve |
| trr | 35 ns - Measured reverse recovery time; enables efficient operation in 100–500 kHz switch-mode supplies |
| VF @ 2A | ≤ 0.95 V - Forward voltage drop at rated current; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in power stage |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise on standard FR-4 PCB with minimal copper |
| IFSM | 50 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush and fault transients without failure |
| CJ | 25 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Junction capacitance; influences high-frequency noise coupling and EMI filter design |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by band, UL 94V-0 rated compound, weight ≈ 0.060g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of load or switch node; polarity must match schematic symbol |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive or switch drain) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term reliability and stable leakage current (IR ≤ 10 µA at 25°C) under humidity and thermal cycling |
| Super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns) | Reduces switching loss and EMI generation compared to standard rectifiers in >100 kHz converters |
| DO-214AC (SMA) package | Enables automated pick-and-place placement and reflow soldering; compatible with IPC-7351B footprint standards |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow; supports direct use from dry pack without floor-life constraints |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter | Snubber Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters operating at 200–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; handles 2A continuous load. Use Value: Low VF (≤0.95 V) minimizes conduction loss; fast trr reduces voltage overshoot during switch turn-on. | Use Scenario: Energy dissipation network across MOSFET or IGBT switches to suppress voltage spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast clamping diode that conducts transient energy into RC network during switching transitions. Use Value: 35ns trr ensures rapid turn-off after spike capture, preventing reverse conduction during next switching edge. |
| Freewheeling Diode | Lighting Driver (LED) |
Use Scenario: Inductive load current recirculation path in buck or boost LED drivers and motor control H-bridges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss return path when main switch opens; sustains current continuity through inductor. Use Value: 50A IFSM withstands startup surges; 150V VRRM covers typical 12–48V system bus with margin. | Use Scenario: Constant-current regulation loop in offline LED ballasts and smart lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in high-frequency resonant or quasi-resonant topologies driving multi-string LEDs. Use Value: Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction meets IEC 61249-2-21; DO-214AC fits compact driver PCBs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R015 | VRRM = 150 V, trr = 30 ns, VF = 0.92 V @ 2A, same DO-214AC package | Slightly faster recovery but identical voltage/current ratings; optimized for ultra-low-noise SMPS | Preferred where <5ns trr reduction improves EMI margin without layout change |
| MBR2150LT3G | Schottky structure, VF = 0.82 V @ 2A, but VRRM = 150 V, no reverse recovery (trr ≈ 0 ns), higher IR (≤500 µA @ 125°C) | Better efficiency at light loads; unsuitable for high-temperature reverse-bias hold applications | Select when thermal management allows higher leakage; avoid in high-temp snubber roles |
Compared with STTH2R015 and MBR2150LT3G, ES2CA M2G offers balanced trade-offs: lower cost than STTH2R015, superior high-temperature reverse blocking versus MBR2150LT3G, and proven robustness in industrial DC-DC and lighting designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES2CA M2G?
The ES2CA M2G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a minimum of –55°C. This rating allows reliable operation in industrial environments where ambient temperatures reach 75–85°C, provided thermal design accounts for RθJA = 75°C/W. Derating curves in the official TSC datasheet confirm usable current capacity down to zero at 150°C junction.
Does ES2CA M2G have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, ES2CA M2G complies with IEC 61249-2-21 for halogen-free materials and is RoHS compliant. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, making it suitable for environmentally regulated end equipment including EU medical and industrial devices.
What is the reverse recovery time specification for ES2CA M2G?
The reverse recovery time (trr) for ES2CA M2G is specified as ≤35 ns under test 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 TSC ES2AA–ES2JA datasheet (Version M2102) and applies directly to ES2CA M2G.
Is ES2CA M2G suitable for use in snubber circuits?
Yes, ES2CA M2G is explicitly listed in the Applications section of its datasheet for snubber use. Its 35 ns trr, 150 V VRRM, and low stored charge enable effective suppression of voltage spikes across switching devices without oscillatory turn-off behavior.
What marking code identifies ES2CA M2G on the device body?
The ES2CA M2G is marked with "ES2C" on the cathode-banded surface, followed by date code and factory identifier per TSC's marking diagram. The "ES2C" prefix unambiguously denotes the 150 V variant within the ES2AA–ES2JA family and distinguishes it from ES2BA (100 V) or ES2DA (200 V).
