Product details
Overview
ES3C V6G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3 A, 150 V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 3 A, and 100 A peak surge current - used for high-frequency freewheeling and output rectification in switching-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ES3C V6G datasheet, ES3C V6G pinout, ES3C V6G application, or ES3C V6G equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (150 V), thermal resistance (12 °C/W junction-to-lead), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), RoHS/halogen-free compliance, and SMC package compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
This single-die silicon rectifier uses glass-passivated junction technology to achieve stable performance under rapid switching conditions. Its 35 ns trr and low 0.95 V VF at 3 A support high-efficiency operation in DC-DC converters and offline SMPS secondary-side rectification.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and exhibits 45 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz/4 V, enabling predictable high-frequency behavior in resonant and quasi-resonant topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 150 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in flyback or forward converter outputs |
| IF | 3 A continuous - average forward current rating; supports sustained conduction in 24–48 V output rails |
| trr | 35 ns - reverse recovery time; enables operation up to ~3 MHz switching frequencies with minimal switching loss |
| VF @ 3 A | 0.95 V - forward voltage drop; contributes <2.9 W conduction loss at full load, easing thermal design |
| RθJL | 12 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or metal-core board |
| IR @ 150 V | 10 µA @ 25°C - low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in energy-efficient adapters |

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-ES3AA-M3/5BT | Same DO-214AB package, 50 V VRRM, 0.93 V VF @ 3 A, 30 ns trr | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤50 V output rails; faster trr suits >1 MHz designs | Select when lower VRRM and tighter trr tolerance are acceptable for low-voltage DC-DC stages |
| ON Semiconductor ES3CB | Same 150 V VRRM, DO-214AB, but 1.05 V VF @ 3 A and 50 ns trr | Higher VF increases conduction loss; slower trr raises switching loss in high-frequency converters | Choose only if supply chain constraints require ON Semi sourcing; verify thermal margin due to higher VF |
Compared with VS-ES3AA-M3/5BT and ES3CB, ES3C V6G delivers optimal balance of 150 V blocking, 0.95 V VF, and 35 ns trr in a J-STD-020 Level 1 MSL package - making it preferred for 12–48 V telecom and server SMPS where voltage headroom and thermal efficiency are both critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES3C V6G?
The ES3C V6G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) of +150 °C, allowing reliable operation in thermally constrained environments such as sealed power modules or high-ambient industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per TSC's absolute maximum ratings table and supported by its 12 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to –55 °C storage temperature. The ES3C V6G maintains specified electrical parameters within this full range.
Does ES3C V6G meet J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity requirements?
Yes, ES3C V6G is rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. This eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles in standard SMT lines, reducing process complexity and cost. The DO-214AB (SMC) package construction and glass passivation contribute to this robust moisture resistance. ES3C V6G is shipped in dry-packed tape-and-reel format compliant with this classification.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for ES3C V6G?
The ES3C V6G has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This value is confirmed in TSC's Electrical Specifications table and enables efficient operation in switching power supplies running at 200–500 kHz. The 35 ns trr directly reduces switching losses and EMI generation compared to standard fast recovery diodes. ES3C V6G maintains this trr across its rated temperature range.
Is ES3C V6G halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, ES3C V6G is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound contains no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based additives, and lead content is below 1000 ppm. These attributes satisfy environmental requirements for CE-marked telecom and computing equipment. Compliance is verified through TSC's material declarations and third-party testing reports. ES3C V6G is suitable for global markets with strict chemical restrictions.
What does the 'V6G' suffix indicate in ES3C V6G?
The 'V6G' suffix in ES3C V6G denotes Taiwan Semiconductor's internal packaging and environmental code: 'V' indicates tape-and-reel packaging, '6' specifies DO-214AB (SMC) case, and 'G' confirms RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction. It is not a voltage or performance variant - all ES3C devices share identical electrical specifications regardless of suffix. The base part number ES3C defines 150 V VRRM, 3 A IF, and 35 ns trr; V6G identifies the specific reel-packaged, green-compound version.
