Product details
Overview
ESH2BH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 A, 100 V ultra-fast recovery surface-mount rectifier diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, featuring 20 ns reverse recovery time, 0.9 V forward voltage at 2 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 ESH2BH datasheet, ESH2BH pinout, ESH2BH application, or ESH2BH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 60 A surge rating, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, ultra-fast 20 ns trr, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The ESH2BH is a single-die, unidirectional silicon rectifier optimized for high-efficiency switching applications. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance up to 125 °C (50 µA IR), and its low-profile SMB package supports automated placement while maintaining 20 ns trr for minimal switching loss.
Thermal design is supported by RθJL = 20 °C/W and RθJA = 75 °C/W ratings, enabling sustained 2 A conduction at elevated ambient temperatures when properly heatsinked via leads. The cathode band marking provides unambiguous polarity identification per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-2EYH01-M3/54 | Same DO-214AA package; 100 V VRRM, 2 A IF, but trr = 35 ns (slower), VF = 1.05 V (higher) | Less suitable for >150 kHz switching; higher conduction loss in thermally constrained layouts | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency or frequency requirements |
| ON Semiconductor MUR220RLG | DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole; 200 V VRRM, 2 A IF, trr = 35 ns, VF = 1.0 V | Not SMT-compatible; requires manual or wave soldering; larger footprint and higher inductance | Only viable if board redesign accommodates axial leaded package and lower switching frequency |
Compared with VS-2EYH01-M3/54 and MUR220RLG, the ESH2BH delivers superior high-frequency performance due to its 20 ns trr and lower VF, while maintaining AEC-Q101 compliance and SMB compatibility-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for ESH2BH?
The ESH2BH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power-density industrial converters where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 2 A continuous current capability up to 125 °C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area.
Is ESH2BH pin-compatible with other parts in the ESH2xH series?
Yes, all ESH2xH variants-including ESH2BH, ESH2CH, and ESH2DH-share identical DO-214AA (SMB) packaging, pinout, and mechanical dimensions. Only the repetitive peak reverse voltage differs (100 V, 150 V, 200 V respectively), so ESH2BH can be substituted in lower-voltage designs without layout changes, provided VRRM margin is sufficient for the application.
What does the marking code 'ESH2B' indicate on the ESH2BH device?
The marking code 'ESH2B' laser-etched on the ESH2BH case identifies it as the 100 V version within the ESH2xH family. Per the datasheet, 'B' corresponds to VRRM = 100 V, 'C' to 150 V, and 'D' to 200 V. This marking is standardized across TSC's production lots and aligns with the ordering code ESH2BH used in tape-and-reel packaging.
Does ESH2BH meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the ESH2BH complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound is UL 94V-0 rated, and terminals are matte tin-plated per J-STD-002 for solderability. These certifications are documented in TSC's material declarations and apply to all production lots of ESH2BH bearing revision A2102.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for ESH2BH?
The ESH2BH reverse recovery time is specified as ≤20 ns under the condition: IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A, measured per JEDEC standard test circuit. This value is confirmed at TJ = 25 °C and reflects typical performance; actual trr increases slightly at elevated junction temperatures but remains below 30 ns up to 125 °C.
