Product details
Overview
RS2J-E3/52T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount fast switching rectifier diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 150 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in DC/DC converters and offline power supplies for industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the RS2J-E3/52T datasheet, RS2J-E3/52T pinout, RS2J-E3/52T application, or RS2J-E3/52T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, low 1.3 V forward voltage at 1.5 A, AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility (via HE3 suffix), SMB footprint compatibility, and 50 A surge rating for transient robustness.
Technical Context
This device is a single silicon PN junction diode with glass-passivated chip construction, optimized for fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) to minimize switching losses in high-frequency rectification. Its thermal resistance RθJA is 55 °C/W (on 7 mm × 7 mm copper pad), supporting operation up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The RS2J-E3/52T features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, and carries a cathode band marking. It is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix) and available in 7" tape-and-reel (52T code, 750 units).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports input rectification in universal-input 230 VAC SMPS and 400 VDC bus applications |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A at TL = 100 °C - enables continuous conduction mode operation in mid-power adapters and auxiliary supplies |
| trr | 150 ns - reduces switching loss and EMI in 100–500 kHz DC/DC topologies |
| VF | 1.3 V at IF = 1.5 A - lowers conduction loss versus standard recovery diodes, improving efficiency by ~0.5–1.2% in 12–24 V outputs |
| IFSM | 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands inrush and short-circuit transients without failure |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - allows use in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below full load |
| CJ | 17 pF at 4.0 V, 1 MHz - limits capacitive coupling noise in high-dv/dt gate-drive or snubber circuits |

Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Output Rectification | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 V/1.2 A isolated flyback converter in wall-mounted AC/DC adapter for IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier conducting during transformer reset phase; handles 1.5 A DC load with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 1.3 V VF reduces heat rise by ~1.8 W vs. 1N5822, enabling smaller heatsink or no heatsink in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: 5 V/0.8 A buck-derived supply powering microcontroller and CAN transceivers in BCM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode across buck inductor; recirculates current during low-side switch off-time. Use Value: 150 ns trr prevents reverse recovery shoot-through, maintaining >92% efficiency at 300 kHz switching frequency. |
| Industrial PLC Digital Input Protection | Telecom DC/DC Intermediate Bus Converter |
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity and overvoltage protection on 24 V digital input channel with optocoupler interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series blocking diode preventing backfeed into field wiring; withstands 600 V transients per IEC 61000-4-5. Use Value: 600 V VRRM and 50 A IFSM provide margin against lightning-induced surges without external TVS augmentation. | Use Scenario: 48 V-to-12 V intermediate bus converter in 19" rack telecom system with forced-air cooling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast switching rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06U | 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), 75 ns trr, TO-277 package | Lower current rating; faster recovery but higher VF (1.7 V) | Select when ultra-fast recovery dominates over conduction loss and PCB space permits larger TO-277 footprint |
| ON Semi MUR160 | 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), 60 ns trr, DO-41 through-hole | Through-hole mounting; not SMT-compatible; higher thermal resistance | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where rework to SMT is impractical |
Compared with STTH1L06U and MUR160, the RS2J-E3/52T delivers optimal balance of 1.5 A current handling, 150 ns speed, and SMB footprint-making it preferred for new SMT designs requiring ≥1 A output rectification without sacrificing board area or thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RS2J-E3/52T?
The RS2J-E3/52T has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88708. This rating allows sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies or under-hood automotive locations when mounted on appropriate copper area. Derating curves confirm 1.5 A IF(AV) is maintained up to TL = 100 °C.
Is RS2J-E3/52T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, RS2J-E3/52T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix explicitly denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant commercial-grade product line, with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD 22-B102 whisker testing Class 2. No lead or hazardous substances exceed EU RoHS Directive limits.
Does RS2J-E3/52T have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The RS2J-E3/52T itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant RS2JHE3_A/H is fully AEC-Q101 qualified. Per Vishay documentation, HE3-suffix parts undergo stress testing per AEC-Q101, including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. For automotive designs, specify RS2JHE3_A/H instead of RS2J-E3/52T.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of RS2J-E3/52T and how is it measured?
The RS2J-E3/52T has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, measured under conditions IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per Vishay Document Number 88708. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction, directly impacting switching loss and EMI in high-frequency converters.
What is the package type and dimensions of RS2J-E3/52T?
RS2J-E3/52T uses the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package, with outline dimensions of 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.44 mm (length × width × height). The cathode is marked by a visible band; terminals are matte tin-plated for reliable solder joint formation. Mounting pad layout recommendations are provided in the Vishay datasheet for optimal thermal and mechanical performance.
