ES2A-M3/5BT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES2A-M3/5BT is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount diode operates at 50 V DC reverse voltage with a 2 A average rectified current rating and is packaged in the DO-214AA (SMB) form factor. The device is classified as a fast recovery diode with a reverse recovery time of 30 nanoseconds, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid switching characteristics. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, or equivalent performance requirements in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES2A-M3/5BT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 50 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 2 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 30 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 50 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 18 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents. Substitutes differ only in manufacturer identity, tape & reel packaging designation, or internal device construction while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ES2A-E3/52T (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the ES2A-M3/5BT, manufactured by the same supplier. All electrical characteristics, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications are identical. The ES2A-E3/52T carries Active product status and maintains ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the ES2A-M3/5BT is specified. Current inventory availability is 7700 pieces.

ES2A (YAGEO): This part is a parametric equivalent from an alternative manufacturer (YAGEO). The device meets the core electrical requirements of 50 V reverse voltage and 2 A average rectified current with forward voltage of 0.95 V. The part is packaged in DO-214AA form factor, maintains Active product status, and carries ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Detailed specifications for reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, and capacitance are not provided in the available data. This substitute is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. Current inventory availability is 26200 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES2A-E3/52T be used as a direct replacement for ES2A-M3/5BT?

A: Yes. The ES2A-E3/52T is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (50 V reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, 900 mV forward voltage, 30 ns reverse recovery time), identical mechanical packaging (DO-214AA, SMB), and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Both parts are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division.

Q: What are the key differences between the Vishay ES2A-M3/5BT and YAGEO ES2A?

A: Both parts share the same core electrical ratings (50 V, 2 A) and package type (DO-214AA). The primary differences are manufacturer identity and data completeness. The Vishay part provides complete specifications including reverse recovery time (30 ns), reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 50 V), and capacitance (18 pF @ 4V, 1MHz). The YAGEO part specifies forward voltage as 0.95 V and does not provide detailed reverse recovery, leakage, or capacitance data in the available documentation. Both maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are all substitute parts surface mount devices?

A: Yes. The ES2A-M3/5BT and all identified substitutes use surface mount technology with DO-214AA (SMB) packaging. All parts are suitable for automated assembly on printed circuit boards.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same temperature operating range?

A: The Vishay parts (ES2A-M3/5BT and ES2A-E3/52T) both specify operating junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The YAGEO ES2A does not provide operating temperature specification in the available data.

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

A: No. All three parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliant, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8541.10.0080. All parts maintain Active product status.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for maximum inventory availability?

A: The YAGEO ES2A offers the highest current inventory with 26200 pieces in stock, compared to 7700 pieces for the ES2A-E3/52T and 957 pieces for the original ES2A-M3/5BT.
