Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES2FHE3_A/H with the ES2GHE3_A/H is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical performance parameters: 300 V maximum reverse voltage, 2 A average rectified current, 1.1 V maximum forward voltage at 2 A, 35 ns reverse recovery time, 10 µA reverse leakage current at 50 V, and 15 pF capacitance at 4 V and 1 MHz. Both components utilize the DO-214AA (SMB) surface mount package, operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), carry Automotive grade classification, and maintain AEC-Q101 qualification. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: ES2FHE3_A/H is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while ES2GHE3_A/H is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ES2FHE3_A/H and ES2GHE3_A/H are Active products from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division with identical electrical performance specifications and automotive-grade qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging format requirements and inventory availability. The ES2FHE3_A/H in Tape & Reel (TR) format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The ES2GHE3_A/H in Cut Tape (CT) format accommodates lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 regulations, carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, and operate across the specified temperature range. Substitution is electrically and mechanically transparent, with no circuit redesign or thermal management modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES2GHE3_A/H replace ES2FHE3_A/H in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, carry identical Automotive grade classification, and maintain AEC-Q101 qualification. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats use identical DO-214AA (SMB) component packages.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical specifications for voltage rating (300 V), current rating (2 A), forward voltage (1.1 V @ 2 A), reverse recovery time (35 ns), reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 50 V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C).

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both ES2FHE3_A/H and ES2GHE3_A/H carry Automotive grade classification and AEC-Q101 qualification, meeting automotive industry standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the DO-214AA (SMB) surface mount package with identical footprint and pin configuration. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: ES2FHE3_A/H (Tape & Reel) has 847 pieces in stock. ES2GHE3_A/H (Cut Tape) has 17,545 pieces in stock.
