Product details
Overview
ESH1BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1A, 100V ultra-fast surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, featuring 15 ns reverse recovery time, 0.9 V forward voltage at 1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a freewheeling or snubber diode in high-frequency DC/DC converters and car lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the ESH1BH datasheet, ESH1BH pinout, ESH1BH application, or ESH1BH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 30 A surge rating, -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range, and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The ESH1BH is a single-die, glass-passivated silicon PN junction rectifier optimized for ultra-fast switching. Its 15 ns trr and low 0.9 V VF at 1 A enable high-efficiency operation in 100–500 kHz DC/DC topologies where reverse recovery losses must be minimized.
Designed for automotive environments, the ESH1BH meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and UL 94V-0 molding compound - all verified under TA = 25°C unless otherwise specified.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines safe operating limit in snubber or freewheeling circuits. |
| IF | 1 A continuous - Average forward current rating at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per Fig.1. |
| trr | 15 ns - Measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables use in >300 kHz switching applications with minimal switching loss. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR110E | Same DO-214AC package, 100 V VRRM, but 25 ns trr (vs. 15 ns) and 1.15 V VF at 1 A. | Higher VF increases conduction loss; longer trr limits usable frequency to ≤200 kHz in high-efficiency designs. | Select when cost priority outweighs 15 ns speed advantage and 0.25 V VF reduction. |
| Vishay VS-1EH01-M3/5AT | DO-214AC, 100 V, 15 ns trr, but AEC-Q101 not claimed; TJ max = +150°C (vs. +175°C). | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood applications requiring AEC-Q101 compliance. | Acceptable for industrial DC/DC where extended temperature range and automotive qualification are not required. |
Compared with MUR110E and VS-1EH01-M3/5AT, the ESH1BH delivers superior high-frequency performance due to its 15 ns trr and lower VF, while its AEC-Q101 rating and +175°C TJ max uniquely support demanding automotive under-hood deployments without thermal or qualification compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for ESH1BH?
The ESH1BH has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 100 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating defines the highest reverse voltage the diode can block continuously without breakdown under normal operating conditions. Exceeding 100 V risks avalanche failure. The ESH1BH is part of a family where ESH1CH and ESH1DH offer 150 V and 200 V ratings respectively, but ESH1BH itself is strictly rated at 100 V.
Is ESH1BH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the ESH1BH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation, confirming it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock required for automotive electronics. This qualification, combined with its -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and moisture sensitivity level 1, makes ESH1BH suitable for under-hood and safety-critical automotive subsystems such as lighting and engine control modules.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of ESH1BH and how is it measured?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of ESH1BH is 15 ns maximum, measured under the conditions IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects the time required for the diode to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking state. The ESH1BH's 15 ns trr is validated using the test circuit shown in Figure 6 of the datasheet and enables efficient operation in high-frequency switching applications where fast recovery minimizes switching losses.
Does ESH1BH have a halogen-free construction?
Yes, the ESH1BH uses halogen-free molding compound in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section. This ensures compliance with environmental regulations and eliminates brominated flame retardants commonly found in legacy packaging materials. The halogen-free status applies to the entire device, including encapsulant and leadframe, and is verified per standardized material testing protocols used by Taiwan Semiconductor.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for ESH1BH?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for ESH1BH is 85°C/W, measured on a standard FR-4 printed circuit board with minimum copper pad area, as listed in the Thermal Performance table. This value guides thermal design by indicating how much temperature rise occurs per watt of power dissipated. For example, at 1 A forward current and 0.9 V forward drop, the ESH1BH dissipates 0.9 W, resulting in ~76.5°C rise above ambient - a critical input for ensuring TJ remains within the -55°C to +175°C limit.
