Product details
Overview
ES3HH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3A, 500V super fast recovery surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring 1.70V max forward voltage at 3A/25°C, 35ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in high-frequency DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ES3HH datasheet, ES3HH pinout, ES3HH application, or ES3HH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500V VRRM, 100A IFSM, 150°C TJMAX, glass-passivated junction, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity - critical for automotive lighting and industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
The ES3HH employs a single-die silicon PN junction with glass passivation for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its 35ns trr enables efficient operation in switching frequencies up to several hundred kHz, minimizing switching losses in flyback and boost topologies.
Thermally, it delivers RθJL = 12°C/W and RθJA = 47°C/W, supporting continuous 3A conduction at ambient temperatures ≤85°C with standard PCB copper area. The DO-214AB (SMC) package provides robust mechanical mounting and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 500 V - blocks up to 500V repetitive reverse voltage, suitable for 400V DC bus applications with margin |
| IF | 3 A - continuous average forward current rating at TL = 75°C, defines steady-state power handling |
| VF (max) | 1.70 V @ 3A, 25°C - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle freewheeling paths |
| trr | 35 ns - enables high-frequency switching (>200 kHz) with low reverse recovery charge and EMI |
| IFSM | 100 A - withstands short-duration surge currents (8.3ms half-sine), critical for inrush and fault tolerance |
| TJMAX | 150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures |
| CJ | 30 pF @ 1MHz, 4V - low junction capacitance minimizes capacitive coupling noise in snubber circuits |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package with cathode-indicating band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); polarity must match PCB silkscreen |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive); defines direction of freewheeling path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD, enabling use in ADAS and body control modules |
| Glass passivated junction | Prevents moisture ingress and metallization corrosion, extending lifetime in humid or condensing environments (e.g., engine bay, outdoor LED drivers) |
| Super fast recovery (35 ns) | Reduces reverse recovery energy loss and associated ringing, improving efficiency and easing EMI filter design in 100–500 kHz SMPS |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow; compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without dry pack or floor life constraints |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, supporting green manufacturing and export compliance |
Applications
| Automotive LED Headlamp Driver | Industrial DC-DC Isolated Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-brightness LED array powered via constant-current buck-boost driver in vehicle headlamps, subject to load dump transients and wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in synchronous rectified secondary-side circuit, conducting during low-side switch off-time. Use Value: 500V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump), while 35ns trr prevents cross-conduction loss and thermal runaway at 300 kHz switching. | Use Scenario: 24V-to-5V isolated flyback converter powering PLC I/O modules in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier on secondary side, converting transformer AC to regulated DC output.

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-3EYH05-M3/45 | Same DO-214AB package, 500V VRRM, but 1.55V VF (typ) at 3A - 150mV lower conduction drop | Slightly lower thermal rise at full load; identical AEC-Q101 status and 35ns trr | Preferred where conduction loss dominates thermal budget, e.g., high-duty-cycle 12V systems |
| ON Semiconductor MUR350G | DO-201AD axial package (not SMD), 500V, 50ns trr, 1.75V VF - slower recovery and through-hole only | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly; requires board redesign and larger footprint | Only viable for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where tape-and-reel SMT is unavailable |
Compared with VS-3EYH05-M3/45, ES3HH offers marginally higher VF but identical packaging and qualification; versus MUR350G, ES3HH enables automated manufacturing and superior high-frequency performance - making it optimal for new automotive and industrial SMT power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ES3HH?
The ES3HH has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows the ES3HH to operate reliably in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit using the specified RθJL = 12°C/W path.
Is ES3HH suitable for use in automotive lighting applications?
Yes, ES3HH is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 and used in automotive LED headlamp drivers. Its 500V VRRM, 35ns reverse recovery time, and glass-passivated junction make the ES3HH well-suited for freewheeling and snubber roles in PWM-controlled LED drivers exposed to load dump transients and wide thermal cycling.
What does the "HH" suffix indicate in ES3HH?
The "HH" suffix in ES3HH denotes the 500V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) rating within the ES3xH family. Per the ordering table, ES3AH = 50V, ES3BH = 100V, ..., ES3HH = 500V, ES3JH = 600V - each variant shares identical package, current rating, and recovery characteristics but differs only in breakdown voltage.
Does ES3HH require baking before reflow soldering?
No, ES3HH has a J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and may be stored and processed indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or dry packing. This simplifies SMT line integration and eliminates floor-life tracking for the ES3HH.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for ES3HH?
The ES3HH has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This ultra-fast recovery enables high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters and reduces switching losses - a key differentiator of the ES3HH versus standard fast or ultrafast rectifiers.
