Product details
Overview
ES3FB from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 400V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 3A average forward current super fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with 35ns reverse recovery time and 0.98V typical forward voltage at 3.0A/25°C. It serves as primary-side output rectification in high-frequency switching power supplies requiring low conduction loss and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the ES3FB datasheet, ES3FB pinout, ES3FB application, or ES3FB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400V VRRM rating, 35ns trr for reduced switching loss, 0.98V VF at rated current, thermal resistance of 24°C/W (junction-to-lead), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The ES3FB operates as a single-die silicon PN junction rectifier with glass passivated chip junction for reliability under thermal cycling. Its super fast recovery (trr ≤ 35ns) enables use in 100–500kHz SMPS topologies where reverse recovery charge minimization is critical to efficiency.
Thermal performance is defined for PCB mounting on 10mm × 10mm copper pad: RθJL = 24°C/W ensures effective heat transfer to the PCB lead frame, while RθJA = 84°C/W reflects ambient-limited dissipation in standard layouts.
Key Specifications

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-ES3D-M3/5BT | VRRM = 200V, VF = 0.86V @ 3A, trr = 35ns, same SMB package | Limited to ≤200V systems; unsuitable for 400V PFC or 380V DC bus outputs | Select only when VRRM requirement is ≤200V and lower VF is prioritized over voltage headroom. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR340G | VRRM = 400V, VF = 1.25V @ 3A, trr = 50ns, DO-201AD package (larger than SMB) | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.8W; larger package requires PCB redesign | Use only if existing design uses DO-201AD footprint and trr < 50ns is acceptable. |
Compared with VS-ES3D-M3/5BT and MUR340G, the ES3FB uniquely balances 400V blocking capability, 0.98V VF, and 35ns trr in the compact SMB package-enabling higher power density and efficiency in space-constrained 400V-rated SMPS designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating for ES3FB?
The ES3FB has a VRRM rating of 400 V, meaning it can safely block up to 400 volts of reverse voltage repeatedly without breakdown. This rating is verified per JEDEC test conditions and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. The ES3FB datasheet confirms this value in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of ES3FB at 3A and 25°C?
The ES3FB exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 0.98 V at 3.0 A and 25°C, with a maximum of 1.13 V under the same conditions. This value is measured using pulse testing (PW = 0.3 ms) and is specified in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the ES3FB datasheet.
Does ES3FB have a defined reverse recovery time (trr), and what is its value?
Yes, the ES3FB has a specified reverse recovery time of ≤35 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This super fast recovery characteristic is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications section and distinguishes ES3FB from standard fast recovery rectifiers used in lower-frequency applications.
What package type does ES3FB use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The ES3FB uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads and is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated at Level 1 (unlimited floor life), making it suitable for standard SMT assembly without dry-pack requirements.
What is the junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of ES3FB, and how is it measured?
The ES3FB has a typical junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 24°C/W, measured with the device mounted on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad PCB per JESD51-3. This parameter reflects the dominant thermal path from die to solder joint and is critical for estimating temperature rise under continuous 3A operation.
