Product details
Overview
ES3FBH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 400V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 0.98V typical forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in high-frequency DC-DC converters and automotive lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the ES3FBH datasheet, ES3FBH pinout, ES3FBH application, or ES3FBH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (400V), surge current capability (100A), thermal resistance (RθJL = 24°C/W), junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and low-profile SMB packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ES3FBH employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for super-fast switching with minimal reverse recovery charge, enabling high-efficiency operation in 100–500 kHz DC-DC topologies. Its single-die configuration and matte tin-plated leads ensure compatibility with automated SMT assembly and J-STD-002 solderability requirements.
Thermally, the device delivers RθJL = 24°C/W and RθJA = 84°C/W when mounted on a 10mm × 10mm copper pad, supporting continuous 3A conduction up to +125°C ambient with appropriate board-level heat spreading. Junction capacitance is 41pF at 1MHz/4V, contributing to low EMI in high-speed switching nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in snubber or freewheeling paths with 400V rail or transient margin. |
| IF | 3 A - Continuous average forward current; supports sustained power conversion at up to 3A without derating below 75°C ambient. |
| trr | 35 ns - Reverse recovery time; enables efficient operation in high-frequency (>200 kHz) switching applications with minimal switching loss. |
| VF @ 3A, 25°C | 0.98 V (typ) - Low forward voltage drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency in 12V–48V automotive DC-DC stages. |
| RθJL | 24 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for reliable 3A operation without external heatsink. |
| CJ @ 1MHz, 4V | 41 pF - Junction capacitance; minimizes capacitive coupling noise and aids EMI control in high-dv/dt environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L04S | 400V VRRM, 3A IF, 30ns trr, TO-277 package (lower profile than SMB but different footprint) | Same voltage/current rating; slightly faster recovery but requires PCB redesign due to non-SMB outline | Select if 30ns trr is critical and layout revision is acceptable. |
| SB340-E3/5BT | 40V VRRM, 3A IF, Schottky architecture, no reverse recovery, VF ≈ 0.55V @ 3A | Not suitable for 400V applications; limited to ≤40V circuits where ultra-low VF outweighs voltage limitation | Only consider for low-voltage (<40V), high-efficiency designs where reverse voltage stress is <40V. |
Compared with STTH3L04S and SB340-E3/5BT, the ES3FBH uniquely balances 400V blocking, 35ns recovery, SMB compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the only drop-in solution for automotive 400V-rated freewheeling and snubber roles without footprint change or derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for ES3FBH?
The ES3FBH has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2102). This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the device can block repeatedly without breakdown under normal operating conditions, making ES3FBH suitable for 400V-class snubber and freewheeling applications in automotive and industrial power supplies.
Is ES3FBH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, ES3FBH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-ensuring reliability in automotive underhood environments. The ES3FBH datasheet states AEC-Q101 qualification as a core feature, confirming its suitability for automotive LED lighting, engine control, and ADAS power systems.
What is the forward voltage drop of ES3FBH at 3A and 25°C?
The typical forward voltage (VF) of ES3FBH is 0.98 V at 3A and 25°C, with a maximum of 1.13 V under the same conditions. This value is specified in the Electrical Specifications table for the ES3FBH variant and directly impacts conduction loss and thermal performance in high-current DC-DC stages. At 125°C junction temperature, VF drops to 0.83 V (typ), reflecting the negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions.
Does ES3FBH have a defined reverse recovery time?
Yes, ES3FBH has a specified reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns maximum, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter is documented in the Electrical Specifications section and confirms ES3FBH's classification as a super fast recovery rectifier-critical for minimizing switching losses and EMI in high-frequency power converters operating above 100 kHz.
What package type does ES3FBH use, and is it RoHS compliant?
ES3FBH uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package, with matte tin-plated leads and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. It is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the Features section of the official datasheet. The SMB footprint is widely supported in automated assembly lines and offers a favorable thermal path via the cathode/anode leads to PCB copper.
