Product details
Overview
ES2F from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current super fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with 35 ns reverse recovery time and 1.30 V max forward voltage at 2 A, used in DC-DC converters and snubber circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ES2F datasheet, ES2F pinout, ES2F application, or ES2F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, IF = 2 A, trr = 35 ns, VF ≤ 1.30 V, and thermal resistance RθJA = 75 °C/W under standard SMB mounting conditions.
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses glass-passivated junction technology for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1). Its super-fast recovery enables high-frequency switching operation in SMPS topologies without excessive switching loss.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with 50 A non-repetitive surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine), and exhibits 20 pF typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias - optimized for reduced capacitive loading in high-speed freewheeling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports 400 V DC bus or clamped flyback secondary-side rectification |
| IF | 2 A continuous - suitable for medium-power DC-DC output stages up to ~40 W with adequate heatsinking |
| trr | 35 ns - enables efficient operation at switching frequencies up to 500 kHz with low reverse recovery loss |
| VF | ≤1.30 V @ 2 A, 25°C - limits conduction loss to ≤2.6 W per device under full load |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - requires minimum PCB copper area (≥100 mm² 2 oz Cu) for safe 2 A operation at 70°C ambient |
| CJ | 20 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - minimizes high-frequency displacement current in snubber networks |
| IFSM | 50 A (8.3 ms) - withstands typical inrush and transient overloads in offline power supplies |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band, weight ≈ 0.090 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return) |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked with band | Connected to output rail or energy storage capacitor positive terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable long-term performance in humid environments and prevents leakage drift over time |
| Super-fast 35 ns recovery | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to <15 nC, minimizing EMI and diode-induced switching loss |
| DO-214AA (SMB) footprint | Standardized 4.5 × 3.2 mm outline compatible with automated SMT placement and reflow profiles |
| J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life before reflow - no baking required prior to assembly |

Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Snubber Network Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24–48 V output buck-derived DC-DC converters operating at 200–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling synchronous or asynchronous rectification with minimal conduction and recovery loss. Use Value: 1.30 V VF and 35 ns trr reduce total power loss by ≥15% vs. standard fast recovery diodes in 300 kHz designs. | Use Scenario: Clamp diode in RCD snubber across MOSFET drain-source in flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast turn-off element that captures leakage energy and resets snubber capacitor before next switching cycle. Use Value: 20 pF CJ and 35 ns trr prevent voltage overshoot ringing and ensure clean clamp timing at >250 kHz. |
| Freewheeling Diode in Buck Regulators | Lighting Driver Freewheel Path |
Use Scenario: Low-loss freewheel path in 12 V input, 3–5 A industrial buck regulators powering sensors or actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides continuous current path for inductor current when high-side switch is off. Use Value: 2 A IF rating and 75 °C/W RθJA allow direct PCB thermal relief without heatsink in compact 12 V/5 A designs. | Use Scenario: Freewheel diode in constant-current LED drivers for commercial lighting, operating at 100–200 kHz PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Maintains LED current continuity during PWM off-cycles while suppressing inductive kickback. Use Value: Glass passivation ensures stable VF and leakage over 50,000 hr lifetime under 85°C ambient lamp housing conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-ES2FHM3/5A | Same VRRM (400 V), identical DO-214AA package, but trr = 30 ns (5 ns faster); VF = 1.25 V typ @ 2 A | Slightly lower conduction loss and faster switching margin - beneficial in >400 kHz designs with tight EMI limits | Select if optimizing for lowest possible Qrr and system-level efficiency above 350 kHz |
| ON Semiconductor MUR240 | Same VRRM (400 V), same IF (2 A), but DO-204AC (SMA) package - smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 100 °C/W | Higher thermal resistance limits usable current to ≤1.5 A in same PCB layout; not drop-in due to different pad geometry | Select only when board space is critical and thermal derating to 1.5 A is acceptable |
Compared with VS-ES2FHM3/5A and MUR240, the ES2F offers balanced trade-offs: industry-standard SMB footprint, verified 35 ns trr, and robust 75 °C/W thermal performance - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, medium-frequency industrial DC-DC and lighting designs where layout reuse and supply chain stability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES2F?
The ES2F has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150 °C, with operational range from -55 °C to +150 °C. This allows use in industrial environments where ambient temperatures reach 70–85 °C, provided PCB thermal design maintains junction temperature below 150 °C under full 2 A load. Derating curves in the ES2F datasheet confirm 1.5 A maximum at 100 °C ambient.
Does ES2F have a specified reverse recovery charge (Qrr) value?
The ES2F datasheet does not publish a direct Qrr value, but its 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr) at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A implies Qrr ≈ 12–15 nC based on standard test conditions. For precise Qrr-dependent simulations, engineers should refer to the ES2F's published trr vs. IF and temperature curves in Figure 6 of the official TSC datasheet.
Is ES2F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, ES2F is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the DO-214AA (SMB) package is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020. The device's moisture sensitivity level is Class 1, eliminating bake requirements before assembly.
What is the marking code printed on the ES2F device body?
The ES2F device is laser-marked with "ES2F" on the cathode-band side of the DO-214AA (SMB) package. Additional markings include a green compound indicator (G), date code (YW), and factory code (F), per TSC's standard DO-214AA marking diagram in the ES2x datasheet revision L2102.
How does ES2F compare to ES2D in terms of forward voltage and application suitability?
ES2F has VF ≤ 1.30 V at 2 A and 25°C, versus ES2D's VF ≤ 0.95 V - a 0.35 V higher conduction drop due to its higher 400 V VRRM. This makes ES2F better suited for 400 V bus applications (e.g., telecom 48 V outputs or industrial 380 V DC link clamping), while ES2D is preferred for lower-voltage, ultra-low-loss paths like 12 V buck outputs where every 0.1 V matters.
