Product details
Overview
SE20FG-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount standard rectifier diode in the eSMP® Series, configured as a single silicon junction device with 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 0.85 V forward voltage at 2.0 A and 125 °C - used for polarity protection and DC power conditioning in automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SE20FG-M3/I datasheet, SE20FG-M3/I pinout, SE20FG-M3/I application, or SE20FG-M3/I equivalent, key selection considerations include its DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification path (via HM3 suffix), low thermal resistance (RθJM = 20 °C/W), and 920 ns typical reverse recovery time in switching-constrained rectification circuits.
Technical Context
This device implements an oxide planar chip junction for stable leakage performance and low forward voltage drop across temperature. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and 35 A non-repetitive surge rating support high-reliability operation in thermally demanding environments such as engine control units and industrial motor drives.
The SMF (DO-219AB) package enables automated placement and wave/reflow soldering, with matte tin-plated terminals compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. ESD immunity exceeds 8 kV (HBM Class H3B), and MSL Level 1 rating confirms robust moisture sensitivity handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports rectification in 24–48 V DC systems with 2× safety margin against transients |
| IF(AV) | 2.0 A - continuous conduction capability on 10 mm × 10 mm 2 oz. FR4 copper pad |
| VF @ 2.0 A, 125 °C | 0.85 V - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-temperature ambient operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SE20FJ-M3/I | 600 V VRRM, identical package, thermal, and surge ratings | Higher reverse voltage margin required in 48 V telecom or PoE+ systems | Select when design requires ≥500 V blocking capability without layout change |
| ON Semiconductor MUR220RLG | 200 V VRRM, TO-220AC package, 75 ns trr, higher IF(AV) = 2.0 A | Lower VRRM and faster recovery suit high-frequency flyback snubbers | Choose for space-tolerant designs needing faster switching; not drop-in due to through-hole package |
Compared with SE20FJ-M3/I, the SE20FG-M3/I trades 200 V lower reverse voltage for tighter thermal performance in constrained layouts; versus MUR220RLG, it delivers superior board-level integration and moisture resilience but lacks ultrafast recovery for resonant topologies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SE20FG-M3/I?
The SE20FG-M3/I has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175 °C, enabling operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and supported by its RθJM of 20 °C/W. Derating curves in the Vishay datasheet (Doc. #87724) define safe operating area boundaries up to this limit. The SE20FG-M3/I maintains specified electrical parameters within this range when mounted per recommended PCB pad layout.
Is SE20FG-M3/I AEC-Q101 qualified?
No - SE20FG-M3/I is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Qualification is only available for the HM3-suffix variant (e.g., SE20FGHM3/I). The M3 suffix indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, but does not imply automotive qualification. For automotive applications requiring formal AEC-Q101 validation, engineers must specify the HM3 version. The SE20FG-M3/I remains suitable for industrial and commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What does the "I" suffix mean in SE20FG-M3/I?
The "I" suffix in SE20FG-M3/I denotes packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 10,000 units per reel. This contrasts with the "H" suffix (7-inch reel, 3,000 units). Both M3/I and M3/H share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications - the suffix solely identifies reel size and quantity. The SE20FG-M3/I is optimized for high-volume SMT line feeding and automated pick-and-place systems requiring extended reel runtime.
How does SE20FG-M3/I compare to SE20FD-M3/I in terms of reverse voltage rating?
The SE20FG-M3/I has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V, while SE20FD-M3/I is rated at 200 V. Both share identical package (SMF), forward current (2.0 A), thermal resistance (RθJM = 20 °C/W), and reverse recovery time (~920 ns). The VRRM difference defines their application segmentation: SE20FG-M3/I targets 24–48 V systems with higher transient margins, whereas SE20FD-M3/I suits 12 V or low-voltage DC distribution where cost and footprint are prioritized over voltage headroom.
Can SE20FG-M3/I be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes - SE20FG-M3/I is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles, rated for a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements. The device's DO-219AB package geometry supports uniform heating and reliable joint formation. No special pre-bake or process modifications are needed when using the SE20FG-M3/I in production reflow lines conforming to IPC-J-STD-020.
