Product details
Overview
S2G-E3/5BT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount glass passivated silicon rectifier diode rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.5 A average forward current, and 50 A non-repetitive surge current; it features 1.15 V forward voltage at 1.5 A, 1.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, and 2.0 μs typical reverse recovery time - used in automotive DC-DC converters and industrial power supply freewheeling paths.
For engineers reviewing the S2G-E3/5BT datasheet, S2G-E3/5BT pinout, S2G-E3/5BT application, or S2G-E3/5BT equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AA (SMB) package, AEC-Q101 qualification (via HE3 variant), MSL Level 1 rating, 150 °C max junction temperature, and low-profile suitability for automated placement in space-constrained power stages.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-die, unidirectional silicon PN junction rectifier with glass-passivated chip construction ensuring stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. Its 2.0 μs reverse recovery time and 16 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V/1 MHz support moderate-frequency switching in flyback and boost topologies.
The S2G-E3/5BT shares identical thermal resistance values (RθJA = 53 °C/W, RθJL = 16 °C/W) and mechanical outline (DO-214AA/SMB) across the S2x family, enabling direct layout reuse when substituting between voltage grades - provided derating curves for forward current vs. lead temperature are observed.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), TO-277 package, 1.7 V VF | Higher voltage rating but lower current and higher forward drop | Select when 600 V blocking is required and thermal budget permits higher VF loss |
| ON Semi MUR160 | 600 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), DO-41 through-hole, 1.7 V VF, 50 ns trr | Through-hole mounting, slower recovery than S2G-E3/5BT, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where 600 V margin is prioritized over surface-mount compatibility |
Compared with STTH1L06S and MUR160, the S2G-E3/5BT delivers higher average current (1.5 A vs. 1.0 A), lower forward voltage (1.15 V vs. 1.7 V), and surface-mount DO-214AA packaging - making it preferable for modern automotive and industrial power supplies requiring AEC-Q101 alignment and automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the S2G-E3/5BT?
The S2G-E3/5BT has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88712. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures when thermal design adheres to the specified RθJA = 53 °C/W and RθJL = 16 °C/W values. The S2G-E3/5BT must be mounted on PCB copper pads per recommended layout to achieve this rating.
Is the S2G-E3/5BT AEC-Q101 qualified?
The S2G-E3/5BT is RoHS-compliant and commercial-grade; AEC-Q101 qualification applies only to variants with the HE3 suffix (e.g., S2GHE3/5BT). The S2G-E3/5BT itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified, though it shares identical electrical and thermal characteristics with the HE3 version. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, specify S2GHE3/5BT instead of S2G-E3/5BT.
What does the "5BT" in S2G-E3/5BT indicate?
The "5BT" in S2G-E3/5BT denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3200 units per reel. This differs from "52T", which specifies 7-inch tape-and-reel with 750 units. Both use the same DO-214AA (SMB) package and share identical electrical specifications. The S2G-E3/5BT is optimized for high-volume SMT line feeding.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the S2G-E3/5BT and how is it measured?
The S2G-E3/5BT has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 2.0 μs, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, per Vishay Document Number 88712. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases, directly influencing switching loss in 100–300 kHz power converters. The S2G-E3/5BT is not an ultrafast or soft-recovery diode but suits general-purpose rectification.
Can the S2G-E3/5BT replace the S2J-E3/5BT in a design?
No - the S2G-E3/5BT (400 V VRRM) and S2J-E3/5BT (600 V VRRM) are distinct voltage-grade variants within the same S2x family. Substituting S2G-E3/5BT for S2J-E3/5BT risks reverse breakdown under 600 V transient conditions. Derating analysis must confirm that system-level peak reverse voltage remains ≤400 V before using S2G-E3/5BT. The S2G-E3/5BT is not a drop-in replacement for higher-voltage S2x parts.
