Product details
Overview
ES2GA_HF from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount super fast rectifier diode rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 2.0 A average forward current, featuring 25 ns reverse recovery time, 1.25 V forward voltage at 2 A/25°C, and low 5.0 µA reverse leakage at 25°C. It is used in high-frequency switching power supplies, AC-DC adapters, and DC-DC converters where efficiency and compact footprint are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ES2GA_HF datasheet, ES2GA_HF pinout, ES2GA_HF application, or ES2GA_HF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified reverse recovery time (trr ≤ 25 ns), thermal resistance (RthJL = 25 °C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, SMA package compatibility with IPC-7351 standards, and RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound compliance per J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for high-frequency operation. Its super-fast recovery (trr ≤ 25 ns at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A) minimizes switching losses in SMPS topologies, while the glass-passivated chip ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
The SMA package enables direct PCB mounting with low thermal impedance to copper pads. With RthJL = 25 °C/W and TJ operating range of –55°C to +150°C, it supports reliable conduction in thermally constrained environments without forced air cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown during normal operation |
| I(AV) | 2.0 A - Average forward current sustainable at TL = 110°C with adequate PCB copper area |
| trr | 25 ns - Measured reverse recovery time enabling >1 MHz switching in flyback and forward converters |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 2 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop directly impacting conduction loss and thermal rise at full load |
| IR | 5.0 µA @ 400 V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load conditions |
| RthJL | 25 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to lead, defining temperature rise per watt dissipated |

Applications
| AC-DC Power Adapters | DC-DC Converter Outputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12–24 W wall adapters for consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering element converting high-frequency transformer output to DC. Use Value: 25 ns trr and 1.25 V VF enable >88% efficiency at 230 VAC input and 5 V/2 A output. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated 48 V-to-12 V telecom DC-DC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement in non-synchronous flyback or forward converters. Use Value: Low IR (5 µA) maintains regulation accuracy during no-load standby; RthJL = 25 °C/W allows operation at 95°C ambient without derating. |
| LED Driver Secondary Side | Industrial Control Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: Rectifying high-frequency AC from resonant LLC transformer secondaries in constant-current LED drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery rectifier handling 300–600 kHz switching waveforms with minimal tail current. Use Value: 25 ns trr prevents cross-conduction loss and reduces output ripple compared to 50 ns alternatives. | Use Scenario: Input rectification in DIN-rail mounted 24 V/3 A industrial PSUs with wide temperature range (-40°C to +70°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side bridge rectifier component in compact, convection-cooled enclosures. Use Value: –55°C to +150°C operating range and Level 1 moisture rating ensure robustness across factory-floor thermal cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R04 | trr = 35 ns (vs. 25 ns); VF = 1.30 V @ 2 A; same SMA package | Higher switching loss in >300 kHz designs; suitable for lower-frequency (<150 kHz) industrial PSUs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 10 ns trr advantage and thermal margin is ample |
| MBR240SFT1G | Schottky structure; VF = 0.52 V @ 2 A but VRRM = 40 V only; not a direct voltage replacement | Only viable in low-voltage (<48 V) DC-DC outputs; unsuitable for 400 V AC-DC inputs | Choose only for <48 V systems requiring ultra-low VF; reject for mains-connected applications |
Compared with STTH2R04 and MBR240SFT1G, ES2GA_HF uniquely balances 400 V blocking, 25 ns speed, and 1.25 V VF in a single SMA package-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 20–50 W AC-DC and isolated DC-DC designs where both voltage rating and recovery speed are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ES2GA_HF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation supported from –55°C to +150°C. Derating begins above 110°C case temperature; full 2.0 A average current is rated at TL = 110°C with sufficient PCB copper thermal relief.
Is ES2GA_HF suitable for use in synchronous rectification circuits?
No-ES2GA_HF is a passive super fast rectifier diode, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier. It lacks gate control and cannot be actively switched. It serves only as a freewheeling or output rectifier in non-synchronous topologies like flyback or forward converters.
Does ES2GA_HF require pre-baking before reflow soldering?
No-its moisture sensitivity level is Level 1 per J-STD-020C, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020) without baking or dry-pack requirements.
How does the "Green" package affect thermal performance?
The halogen- and antimony-free molding compound has identical thermal conductivity to standard epoxy (≈0.7 W/m·K) and does not degrade RthJL (25 °C/W). UL 94V-0 flammability rating is maintained without compromising thermal path integrity to the PCB pad.
