Product details
Overview
ES3C M6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 150V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.95V forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and 100A peak surge current - used in high-frequency switching mode power supplies for telecom and computing.
For engineers reviewing the ES3C M6G datasheet, ES3C M6G pinout, ES3C M6G application, or ES3C M6G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 150V, IF = 3A, trr = 35ns, RθJA = 47°C/W, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This super fast rectifier employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and freewheeling in 50–500 kHz switching topologies. Its 35ns reverse recovery time minimizes switching losses, while the 12°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports sustained 3A conduction under thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. Cathode polarity is marked by a visible band on the DO-214AB body, and terminals are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in 12–48V output rectification stages |
| IF | 3 A - continuous forward current; supports compact secondary-side rectification without forced air cooling |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A; enables high-frequency operation up to 500 kHz with low EMI |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 3A, 25°C - low conduction loss improves efficiency in 12V/24V SMPS outputs |
| RθJA | 47 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient; requires ≥25 mm² copper pour for full 3A rating at 70°C ambient |
| CJ | 45 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - low junction capacitance reduces capacitive turn-on loss in synchronous rectifier-assisted designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, single-diode configuration with cathode band marking. Body dimensions: 7.11 × 6.22 × 2.34 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to transformer secondary or switch node; must handle 100A surge without bond wire failure |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by molded band; ties to output capacitor ground return; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable leakage performance (<10 µA @ 25°C) and long-term reliability in humid environments |
| Super fast recovery (35 ns) | Reduces switching loss and ringing in hard-switched flyback and forward converters |
| DO-214AB (SMC) package | Supports automated pick-and-place; compatible with IPC-7351B SMC footprint and reflow profiles |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow; simplifies manufacturing flow for high-volume production |

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-3EJH01-M3/5BT | VRRM = 600V, trr = 35ns, VF = 1.7V @ 3A - higher voltage rating but 79% higher forward loss | Better suited for 380VDC bus rectification; less efficient in 12–48V output stages | Select only if system requires >400V reverse blocking; avoid for low-VOUT designs due to excess conduction loss |
| ON Semiconductor MUR3150G | VRRM = 150V, trr = 50ns, VF = 0.92V @ 3A - slightly lower VF, but 43% slower recovery | Acceptable in ≤200kHz converters; may increase EMI and reduce efficiency above 300kHz | Prefer for cost-sensitive 100–200kHz designs where 15ns trr margin is not required |
Compared with VS-3EJH01-M3/5BT and MUR3150G, ES3C M6G delivers optimal balance of 150V blocking, 35ns speed, and 0.95V forward drop - making it the most efficient choice for 200–500kHz telecom and server power supplies where thermal headroom and EMI are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES3C M6G?
The ES3C M6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision N2102. This allows reliable operation in sealed industrial enclosures or high-ambient telecom equipment when mounted on ≥25 mm² copper area. Derating begins at 70°C ambient for full 3A current rating.
Does ES3C M6G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, ES3C M6G is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor ES3A–ES3J datasheet (N2102). The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminals are matte tin-plated to J-STD-002 standards - fully compliant for use in EU and Asia-Pacific regulated markets.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for ES3C M6G?
The reverse recovery time of 35 ns for ES3C M6G is measured under the condition: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, per the Electrical Specifications table in the Taiwan Semiconductor ES3A–ES3J datasheet (N2102). This standardized test reflects real-world behavior in hard-switched forward and flyback converters.
Is ES3C M6G pin-compatible with other DO-214AB rectifiers like MUR3150G?
ES3C M6G shares the DO-214AB (SMC) package outline and anode/cathode terminal arrangement with MUR3150G, but it is not a guaranteed drop-in replacement due to differences in thermal impedance (RθJA = 47°C/W vs. 50°C/W) and reverse recovery profile (35 ns vs. 50 ns). Layout reuse is possible, but electrical validation is required for high-frequency designs.
What does the "M6G" suffix indicate in ES3C M6G?
The "M6G" suffix in ES3C M6G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's internal packaging and environmental coding: "M" = DO-214AB (SMC) package, "6" = tape-and-reel packing (3,000 pcs per reel), and "G" = green (halogen-free) molding compound - consistent with ordering information in the ES3A–ES3J datasheet (N2102).
