Product details
Overview
ES3HBHM4G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 600V super fast surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 1.11V forward voltage at 1.5A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and 34pF junction capacitance - deployed in high-frequency SMPS output stages for efficiency-critical AC/DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the ES3HBHM4G datasheet, ES3HBHM4G pinout, ES3HBHM4G application, or ES3HBHM4G equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=600V, IF=3A, trr≤35ns, thermal resistance RθJA=84°C/W, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon rectifier uses a glass-passivated single-die PN junction optimized for high-speed switching. Its 35ns reverse recovery time enables operation in 100–500kHz SMPS topologies without excessive switching loss or EMI generation.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with 100A surge rating (8.3ms half-sine), and achieves low forward conduction loss via optimized doping profile - evidenced by VF=1.24V max at 3A/25°C and VF=0.99V at 3A/125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports input rectification in universal-input (85–265VAC) offline SMPS with ≥2× safety margin |
| IF | 3 A continuous - delivers sufficient output current for 30–40W adapter designs without forced cooling |
| trr | 35 ns - enables high-frequency operation up to 500 kHz while limiting switching loss and diode-induced ringing |
| VF @ 3A, 25°C | 1.24 V max - reduces conduction loss to <0.37 W per diode at full load, improving system efficiency |
| CJ @ 1MHz, 4V | 34 pF - minimizes capacitive coupling noise and improves EMI filter design margin in compact layouts |
| RθJA | 84 °C/W - allows 3A operation on standard 10mm × 10mm Cu pad PCB without heatsink in ambient ≤50°C |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020), UL 94V-0 molding compound, and 0.110g typical weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to transformer secondary or switching node; requires low-inductance trace routing |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output capacitor positive rail; cathode band marks this terminal on package body |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-ES3HB-M3/5BT | Identical VRRM=600V, IF=3A, trr=35ns; same SMB package but different marking and tape/reel orientation | No functional difference in SMPS or adapter use; compatible with same footprint and thermal pad layout | Select for dual-sourcing where Vishay supply chain preference applies |
| ON Semiconductor MUR360RLG | Higher VRRM=600V, same IF=3A, but trr=60ns (vs. 35ns) and VF=1.45V max at 3A - higher conduction and switching loss | Suitable for lower-frequency (<150kHz) converters; less optimal for high-efficiency USB PD or thin adapters | Choose only if ES3HBHM4G lead time exceeds 12 weeks and frequency requirements permit higher trr |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES3HBHM4G?
The ES3HBHM4G has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version C2102. This rating allows reliable operation in enclosed industrial power supplies and high-ambient LED drivers. Derating curves confirm 3A continuous current is sustainable up to 75°C ambient when mounted on a 10mm × 10mm copper pad - essential for thermal design validation of the ES3HBHM4G.
Does ES3HBHM4G meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, ES3HBHM4G is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminals are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002. These certifications are confirmed for the ES3HBHM4G variant and apply to all units shipped under this part number.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for ES3HBHM4G?
The reverse recovery time for ES3HBHM4G is specified as ≤35ns under test conditions of IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, and IRR=0.25A, per the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This value is measured at 25°C and remains stable across the full operating temperature range, making ES3HBHM4G suitable for high-frequency SMPS designs above 200kHz.
Is ES3HBHM4G pin-compatible with other devices in the ES3x series?
Yes, all ES3AB–ES3JB variants, including ES3HBHM4G, share identical DO-214AA (SMB) package dimensions, pinout, and thermal pad layout. The anode and cathode terminals are fixed across the family, enabling direct substitution within the same voltage grade - provided VRRM, VF, and trr meet circuit requirements. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from ES3GB to ES3HBHM4G.
What is the forward voltage (VF) of ES3HBHM4G at 3A and 125°C?
At 3A forward current and 125°C junction temperature, the ES3HBHM4G exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.13V, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (page 2). This elevated VF reflects silicon behavior under thermal stress and is critical for worst-case power loss calculation - resulting in ≤3.4W dissipation per device at full load and high ambient, informing heatsink and airflow decisions for the ES3HBHM4G.
