Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—ES15GLWHRVG, ES15GLW, and ES15GLWH—are Active products manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and procurement specifications:

ES15GLWHRVG is specified for applications requiring automotive-grade components with AEC-Q101 qualification and individual unit packaging. This configuration is suitable for low-volume production, prototype development, and applications with explicit automotive qualification mandates.

ES15GLW provides identical electrical performance without automotive-grade designation or AEC-Q101 qualification, supplied in Tape & Reel format. This part is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments where automotive qualification is not required and continuous reel packaging optimizes assembly line efficiency.

ES15GLWH combines automotive-grade classification with AEC-Q101 qualification in Tape & Reel packaging format. This configuration serves high-volume automotive production where both qualification compliance and reel-based supply chain logistics are required.

All parts comply with ROHS3, maintain REACH Unaffected status, and carry EAR99 export classification. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no special storage or handling requirements. Selection should be based on production volume, packaging logistics, and automotive qualification necessity rather than electrical performance, as all three parts are electrically identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ES15GLWHRVG, ES15GLW, and ES15GLWH electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three part numbers maintain identical electrical specifications including 400 V reverse voltage, 1.5 A average rectified current, 1.3 V forward voltage drop at 1.5 A, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. Electrical performance is equivalent across all three variants.

Q: What is the difference between individual unit and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: ES15GLWHRVG is supplied as individual units, suitable for small-quantity orders and manual assembly. ES15GLW and ES15GLWH are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume manufacturing environments. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the diode itself remain unchanged.

Q: When should I select the automotive-grade variant (ES15GLWHRVG or ES15GLWH)?

A: Automotive-grade variants with AEC-Q101 qualification should be selected when the application is subject to automotive industry standards or when the end-use product requires documented automotive qualification compliance. Non-automotive variants (ES15GLW) are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications without automotive qualification requirements.

Q: Can I substitute ES15GLW for ES15GLWHRVG in an automotive application?

A: ES15GLW lacks automotive-grade designation and AEC-Q101 qualification. Substitution in automotive applications depends on specific design requirements and qualification mandates. If automotive qualification is a design requirement, ES15GLWHRVG or ES15GLWH must be used. If automotive qualification is not explicitly required, ES15GLW provides equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between these part numbers?

A: No. All three parts share identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), reverse recovery time (35 ns), and leakage current specifications (1 µA @ 400 V). Thermal and reliability performance are equivalent. Differences in automotive qualification reflect manufacturing process documentation and traceability rather than inherent component performance.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these diodes?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special dry-pack storage, desiccant handling, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three part numbers are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for European and global markets.
