Product details
Overview
ES3FH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 400V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 35ns reverse recovery time, 1.30V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in high-frequency DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ES3FH datasheet, ES3FH pinout, ES3FH application, or ES3FH equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (400V), surge current rating (100A), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (12°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (J-STD-020 Level 1), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance.
Technical Context
The ES3FH uses a single-die, glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for high-efficiency switching in automotive and industrial power supplies. Its 35ns trr enables operation at frequencies up to several hundred kHz while maintaining low switching losses.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 12°C/W and RθJA = 47°C/W, supporting continuous 3A conduction at ambient temperatures up to 95°C with minimal heatsinking. The DO-214AB (SMC) package provides robust mechanical mounting and automated placement compatibility.

| VF | 1.30 V max - Forward voltage drop at IF = 3A and TJ = 25°C; determines conduction loss in power stage |
| CJ | 30 pF - Junction capacitance at 1MHz and VR = 4.0V; impacts high-frequency noise and switching speed |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; sets thermal design margin for reliability |

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 | Same DO-214AB package, 400V VRRM, 35ns trr, but VF = 1.35V max (vs. ES3FH's 1.30V max); RθJL = 13°C/W | Identical automotive and industrial DC-DC use cases; slightly higher conduction loss at high duty cycles | Select when dual-sourcing required; verify layout compatibility due to minor die size variation |
| ON Semiconductor MUR340G | DO-201AD package (axial lead), 400V VRRM, 60ns trr, VF = 1.3V max; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for non-automotive industrial converters only; requires through-hole assembly and larger board area | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where SMT is not feasible; avoid in new automotive designs |
Compared with VS-3EYH04-M3/45 and MUR340G, the ES3FH offers the lowest forward voltage among SMT 400V super fast rectifiers with AEC-Q101 certification, making it optimal for thermally constrained automotive power stages where conduction loss directly impacts thermal margin and system efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for ES3FH?
The ES3FH 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 continuously without avalanche breakdown under specified thermal conditions.
Is ES3FH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, ES3FH is AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. This qualification includes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and electrostatic discharge (ESD), confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive systems such as LED lighting and HVAC control.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of ES3FH at rated current?
The ES3FH exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.30 V at 3 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and directly impacts conduction loss in power supply designs.
Does ES3FH have a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction?
Yes, ES3FH meets both RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free requirements. The molding compound and plating materials are certified halogen-free, and the matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability standards.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of ES3FH and how is it measured?
The ES3FH has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured under the condition IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as stated in the Electrical Specifications section. This parameter reflects the time required for the diode to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking, critical for high-frequency switching efficiency.
