ES1CL M2G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES1CL M2G is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 150V DC reverse voltage and 1A average rectified current in a Sub SMA surface mount package. This component is classified as a fast recovery diode with a reverse recovery time of 35 nanoseconds, suitable for applications requiring efficient switching characteristics at moderate voltage and current levels. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES1CL M2G with the ES1CL RVG is based on parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical ratings for reverse voltage (150V), average rectified current (1A), forward voltage drop (950 mV @ 1A), reverse recovery time (35 ns), reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 150V), and package designation (DO-219AB Sub SMA). Both components operate across the same junction temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) and maintain equivalent compliance certifications including RoHS3 status and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: ES1CL M2G is supplied in standard packaging, while ES1CL RVG is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. This difference affects inventory management and automated assembly processes but does not alter electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and carry Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ES1CL M2G and ES1CL RVG are Active products manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and assembly process specifications rather than electrical performance, as all critical parameters are identical.

The ES1CL M2G is suitable for applications requiring standard packaging formats with current inventory of 726 pieces. The ES1CL RVG provides equivalent electrical performance in Cut Tape packaging format with significantly higher inventory availability at 59,700 pieces, making it advantageous for high-volume production runs or situations requiring extended supply assurance.

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications, temperature operating ranges, and electrical characteristics. The choice between them does not affect circuit design, thermal management, or regulatory compliance outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES1CL RVG be used as a direct replacement for ES1CL M2G in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, sharing the same DO-219AB Sub SMA package, 150V reverse voltage rating, 1A current rating, 950 mV forward voltage drop, and 35 nanosecond reverse recovery time. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus standard), which does not affect circuit performance or PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: ES1CL M2G uses standard packaging, while ES1CL RVG is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Cut Tape packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and is typically used in high-volume manufacturing. Standard packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component in the DO-219AB Sub SMA package.

Q: Are there any temperature or compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and maintain equivalent compliance certifications: RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 export classification. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on supply chain and manufacturing requirements. ES1CL RVG in Cut Tape format is recommended for high-volume production due to higher inventory availability (59,700 pieces) and compatibility with automated assembly processes. ES1CL M2G is suitable when standard packaging is required or for lower-volume applications.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical performance in all operating conditions?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including reverse voltage (150V), average rectified current (1A), forward voltage drop (950 mV @ 1A), reverse recovery time (35 ns), and reverse leakage current (5 µA @ 150V). Performance is identical across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Q: Are there any design considerations when switching between these parts?

A: No design changes are required. Both parts use the same DO-219AB Sub SMA package with identical pin configuration and footprint. PCB layout, thermal management, and circuit design remain unchanged. The substitution affects only component sourcing and assembly process parameters.
