Product details
Overview
ES3C-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 150 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 3.0 A average rectified current, super-fast recovery (25 ns) surface-mount silicon rectifier diode in SMC package. It features glass passivated die construction, 100 A non-repetitive surge capability, and 0.9 V forward voltage at 3.0 A - optimized for high-frequency switching power supplies and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ES3C-13-F datasheet, ES3C-13-F pinout, ES3C-13-F application, or ES3C-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, thermal resistance (RθJT = 10 °C/W), junction-to-ambient thermal performance, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating for automated assembly compatibility.
Technical Context
This super-fast rectifier operates with minimal switching loss due to its 25 ns reverse recovery time, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, IRR = 0.25 A conditions. Its 150 V VRRM rating supports mid-voltage industrial and telecom power rails.
The device uses glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1), and is mounted on PCB copper pads (5.0 mm², 0.013 mm thick) to achieve RθJA = 50 °C/W - critical for thermal management in compact power designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for input voltage in flyback or boost stages |
| IO | 3.0 A @ TT = +100°C - continuous DC output current capacity under thermal derating constraints |
| tRR | 25 ns - enables operation up to ~10 MHz switching frequencies with low recovery loss |
| VFM | 0.9 V @ IF = 3.0 A - contributes directly to conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 2.7 W at full load) |
| RθJT | 10 °C/W - junction-to-terminal thermal resistance; determines heatsink interface requirement for power dissipation |
| IFSM | 100 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush surges in AC-DC front-end or motor drive clamp circuits |
Pinout & Package
ES3C-13-F is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) molded plastic package with cathode band polarity marking. Dimensions: 5.59–6.22 mm (L) × 6.60–7.11 mm (W) × 2.75–3.18 mm (H). Terminals are matte tin-plated for solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side of transformer secondary or switch node in synchronous rectification |
| Cathode | Current exit point during forward conduction; marked by band | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor; defines output polarity in unidirectional rectification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super-fast recovery time | 25 ns - reduces switching losses and EMI generation in high-frequency SMPS |
| Glass passivated die | Enhances humidity resistance and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| 100 A surge rating | Supports transient overload without parametric shift or bond-wire failure |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - required for automotive and green electronics |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Power Supply | Telecom DC/DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 24–48 V output offline adapters with 65–100 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering diode; replaces slower FR30x series to reduce recovery loss. Use Value: 25 ns tRR cuts switching loss by ~35% vs. standard fast rectifiers, improving efficiency by 0.8–1.2% at full load. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated 48 V–12 V buck-derived telecom modules operating at 300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current freewheeling path during MOSFET off-time; handles 3 A continuous with low VFM. Use Value: 0.9 V forward drop minimizes conduction loss (2.7 W), enabling smaller heatsinking in space-constrained modules. |
| Industrial Motor Drive Clamp | LED Driver Secondary Rectification |
Use Scenario: Snubber or clamp diode across IGBTs in 3-phase inverter stages handling 200–400 V bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast turn-off path for inductive kickback; absorbs 100 A surge pulses. Use Value: 100 A IFSM rating ensures robustness against short-circuit transients without degradation. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in constant-current LED drivers powering high-brightness arrays (e.g., street lighting). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss DC path delivering stable current to LED string; operates continuously at 85°C ambient. Use Value: RθJT = 10 °C/W allows direct PCB copper pad thermal coupling, eliminating discrete heatsinks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | VRRM = 600 V, tRR = 35 ns, VFM = 1.15 V @ 3 A | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery and higher forward drop | Preferred only where >200 V blocking is required; trade-off in efficiency at 100–150 V operation |
| MBR3150CT | Dual Schottky, 150 V, 3 A per anode, VF = 0.85 V, no recovery time | No reverse recovery loss but limited to ≤125°C junction temperature | Better efficiency below 100°C ambient; unsuitable for high-temp industrial environments (>125°C) |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MBR3150CT, ES3C-13-F delivers optimal balance of 150 V rating, 25 ns speed, and 150°C max junction temperature - making it uniquely suited for thermally demanding, mid-voltage SMPS where Schottkys fail and standard fast rectifiers overheat.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for ES3C-13-F?
The ES3C-13-F has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. This rating is validated per the datasheet's Thermal Characteristics table and enables use in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive auxiliary systems when properly heatsinked.
Is ES3C-13-F suitable for automotive applications?
ES3C-13-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified out-of-the-box. While it meets RoHS, halogen-free, and J-STD-020 Level 1 requirements, Diodes Incorporated states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - contact Diodes directly for qualified variants like ES3CQ-13-F.
How does the SMC package compare to SMB for ES3C-13-F?
ES3C-13-F uses the larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, rated for 3.0 A continuous current and offering lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W) than the SMB (DO-214AA) variant (ES3CB-13-F). The SMC's 6.22 mm × 7.11 mm footprint provides superior heat spreading and surge handling for high-power density designs.
What is the typical reverse recovery test condition for tRR = 25 ns?
The 25 ns reverse recovery time is measured under standardized conditions: forward current IF = 0.5 A, reverse current IR = 1.0 A, and reverse recovery current IRR = 0.25 A, per Figure 5 in DS14003 Rev. 16-2. This reflects real-world switching behavior in hard-commutated topologies like flyback or forward converters.
