Product details
Overview
P300M-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-201AD package, rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 3.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 200 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), used in AC/DC power supply rectification and freewheeling paths in industrial converters.
For engineers reviewing the P300M-E3/54 datasheet, P300M-E3/54 pinout, P300M-E3/54 application, or P300M-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 1000 V, VF = 1.2 V at 3.0 A, IR = 5.0 μA at 25 °C, trr = 2.0 μs, and DO-201AD mechanical compatibility with high-temperature PCB mounting.
Technical Context
This single-diode rectifier operates with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and thermal resistance RθJA = 20 °C/W (PCB-mounted with 20 mm × 20 mm copper heatsink). Its low leakage (IR ≤ 5.0 μA @ 25 °C) and fast recovery (trr = 2.0 μs) support stable operation in high-voltage switching supplies.
The device features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, E3 suffix meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test, and UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding - enabling reliable soldering and long-term reliability in commercial-grade power conversion designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports input rectification in 800 VAC line-derived systems and DC link blocking in 700 VDC bus applications |
| IF(AV) | 3.0 A - delivers continuous output current in 36–48 W offline SMPS and auxiliary power supplies |
| IFSM | 200 A - withstands inrush surges during cold-start of industrial inverters and motor drives |
| VF @ 3.0 A | 1.2 V - limits conduction loss to ~3.6 W at full load, reducing thermal stress on heatsink design |
| trr | 2.0 μs - enables use in 50–100 kHz flyback and forward converters without excessive switching loss |
| IR @ 25 °C | 5.0 μA - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks and sensing circuits |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - allows operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 85 °C under derated conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-201AD molded epoxy case with cathode band marking; 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length; UL 94 V-0 rated; RoHS-compliant E3 termination.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3.0 A IF(AV), TO-220AC package, VF = 1.15 V @ 3 A, trr = 1.8 μs | Limited to ≤600 V DC bus; requires heatsink mounting due to TO-220 thermal interface | Select when lower VF and faster trr justify lower voltage rating and added assembly cost |
| ON Semi MUR3060CT | 600 V VRRM, dual common-cathode configuration, TO-220AB package, VF = 1.7 V @ 3 A, trr = 35 ns | Not single-diode; higher VF increases conduction loss; ultrafast trr unnecessary for 50–100 kHz operation | Choose only if dual-output topology or sub-50 ns recovery is required; not a direct functional substitute |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR3060CT, P300M-E3/54 provides 1000 V isolation headroom essential for 1000 VDC solar and EV charging systems, maintains DO-201AD through-hole compatibility, and balances VF, trr, and surge robustness without over-specifying speed or package complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for P300M-E3/54?
The P300M-E3/54 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88691. This rating allows the diode to operate reliably in enclosed industrial environments with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C when properly derated per the forward current derating curve. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 20 °C/W under specified PCB heatsinking conditions. The P300M-E3/54 maintains electrical integrity up to this limit without parameter shift or premature failure.
Does P300M-E3/54 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, P300M-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix in its part number and Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The device uses lead-free matte tin-plated leads and UL 94 V-0 compliant epoxy molding compound. It satisfies EU Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments, with full substance declarations available via Vishay's compliance portal. The P300M-E3/54 is certified for commercial-grade applications without exemptions.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of P300M-E3/54 and how is it measured?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of P300M-E3/54 is 2.0 μs, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per the Vishay datasheet (Document No. 88691, page 2). This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction, critical for minimizing switching loss in 50–100 kHz converters. The P300M-E3/54's trr is consistent across its temperature range and supports reliable operation in standard flyback and forward topologies without snubber optimization.
Can P300M-E3/54 be used as a direct replacement for P300K-E3/54 in existing designs?
Yes, P300M-E3/54 can replace P300K-E3/54 in most designs because both share identical DO-201AD package, pinout, thermal characteristics, and forward conduction parameters (IF(AV) = 3.0 A, VF = 1.2 V). The only difference is VRRM: P300K is rated for 800 V, while P300M is rated for 1000 V. Using P300M-E3/54 provides increased voltage margin without layout or thermal changes - making it a safe upgrade where higher DC bus transients are expected. The P300M-E3/54 retains all mechanical and soldering specifications of the P300K-E3/54.
What is the maximum DC blocking voltage (VDC) specification for P300M-E3/54?
The maximum DC blocking voltage (VDC) for P300M-E3/54 is 1000 V, matching its VRRM rating and confirmed in the "Maximum Ratings" table of Vishay Document Number 88691. This rating applies under steady-state DC conditions at TA = 25 °C and defines the highest continuous reverse-bias voltage the diode can sustain without breakdown. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the reverse voltage derating curve. The P300M-E3/54's 1000 V VDC makes it suitable for 1000 VDC photovoltaic string inputs and high-voltage industrial DC distribution systems.
