Product details
Overview
ES3F from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3 A average forward current super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with 35 ns reverse recovery time and 1.30 V max forward voltage at 3 A, used in high-frequency switching mode power supplies for telecom and computing equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ES3F datasheet, ES3F pinout, ES3F application, or ES3F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, IF = 3 A, trr = 35 ns, VF ≤ 1.30 V @ 3 A, and thermal resistance RθJA = 47 °C/W - all critical for efficiency and thermal management in compact DC/DC converters.
Technical Context
The ES3F is a single-die, silicon planar junction super fast rectifier optimized for high-frequency operation up to several hundred kHz. Its 35 ns reverse recovery time minimizes switching losses, while the glass-passivated junction ensures reliability under repeated surge stress.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on PCBs with tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel), it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and JESD 201 class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in flyback or boost converter output stage |
| IF | 3 A - continuous average forward current at TL = 75°C; determines steady-state conduction capability |
| trr | 35 ns - measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables high-frequency switching with low recovery loss |
| VF | ≤1.30 V @ 3 A, 25°C - forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load in power path |
| RθJA | 47 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; sets minimum required PCB copper area and airflow for thermal compliance |
| CJ | 30 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - junction capacitance affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design |

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-3EYH04-M3/45 | VRRM = 400 V, IF = 3 A, trr = 35 ns, but DO-221AD (SMA) package - smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 65 °C/W | Preferred where board space is constrained but thermal headroom exists; not direct footprint replacement | Select if layout allows SMA and thermal design accommodates higher junction rise |
| ON Semiconductor MUR340G | VRRM = 400 V, IF = 3 A, trr = 50 ns, DO-201AD package - larger, axial-lead incompatible with SMT automation | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair; not suitable for automated SMT production | Choose only for manual assembly or when DO-201AD footprint is fixed in existing design |
Compared with VS-3EYH04-M3/45 and MUR340G, the ES3F offers identical VRRM and trr in a standard SMC package with superior thermal performance (RθJA = 47 °C/W vs. 65 °C/W) and full SMT compatibility - making it optimal for volume production of compact, thermally demanding power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the ES3F?
The ES3F has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This allows reliable use in high-temperature environments such as enclosed server power supplies or industrial control cabinets. Derating curves in the datasheet define allowable IF reduction above 75°C lead temperature. The ES3F must be mounted on adequate copper to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C under full load.
Does the ES3F have a specified reverse recovery charge (Qrr) value?
The ES3F datasheet does not specify Qrr directly, but provides trr = 35 ns under defined test conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A). Qrr can be estimated using typical Qrr/trr ratios for TSC's ES3x series, but design-critical applications should validate Qrr experimentally or consult TSC's application engineering for ES3F-specific characterization data.
Is the ES3F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes, the ES3F is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated Class 1, meaning no baking is required prior to reflow. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the DO-214AB (SMC) package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The ES3F has been qualified for standard Pb-free SAC305 reflow profiles.
What is the marking code printed on the ES3F device body?
The ES3F is marked with "ES3F" on the device body, along with a green compound indicator (G), date code (YW), and factory code (F), per TSC's standard DO-214AB marking diagram. The cathode is identified by a distinct band adjacent to the marking. No additional alphanumeric suffixes or revision codes appear on the ES3F unit - the marking is strictly "ES3F" for unambiguous identification in automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
How does the ES3F's forward voltage compare across temperature?
The ES3F exhibits a negative temperature coefficient for forward voltage: VF decreases as junction temperature rises. At 3 A and 125°C, VF is typically ~1.15 V - approximately 0.15 V lower than the 25°C max of 1.30 V. This behavior improves thermal stability in parallel configurations and reduces conduction loss at elevated operating temperatures. The ES3F's VF vs. TJ curve is documented in Figure 4 of the N2102 datasheet.
