ES2F-M3/52T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES2F-M3/52T is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount diode operates at 300 V DC reverse voltage with a 2 A average rectified current rating and is housed in a DO-214AA (SMB) package. The device is classified as a fast recovery diode with a reverse recovery time of 50 ns, suitable for standard rectification applications requiring moderate switching speeds.

The ES2F-M3/52T is an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to packaging format availability, inventory constraints, or specific application requirements such as automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES2F-M3/52T is determined by equivalence in the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 300 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 2 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.1 V @ 2 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AA, SMB
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Supplier Device Package: DO-214AA (SMB)

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

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

The ES2GHE3_A/H qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. While this part exhibits improved reverse recovery time (35 ns versus 50 ns) and includes automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), it maintains identical voltage, current, and thermal ratings. The primary difference is packaging format: ES2GHE3_A/H is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format rather than Tape & Reel (TR).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ES2F-M3/52T and ES2GHE3_A/H are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations.

ES2F-M3/52T Selection Criteria:

• Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format for high-volume automated assembly
• Standard industrial-grade rectifier applications
• Reverse recovery time of 50 ns acceptable for application requirements

ES2GHE3_A/H Selection Criteria:

• Cut Tape (CT) packaging format for lower-volume or manual assembly operations
• Automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) required for automotive applications
• Improved reverse recovery time of 35 ns for enhanced switching performance
• Applications requiring automotive-qualified components

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings for voltage (300 V), current (2 A), forward voltage drop (1.1 V @ 2 A), and thermal operating range (-55°C to 150°C). The DO-214AA (SMB) package footprint is identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES2GHE3_A/H be used as a direct replacement for ES2F-M3/52T?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings for reverse voltage (300 V), average rectified current (2 A), forward voltage drop (1.1 V @ 2 A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). The DO-214AA (SMB) package is mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format: ES2GHE3_A/H is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) rather than Tape & Reel (TR).

Q: What is the difference in reverse recovery time between these parts?

A: The ES2F-M3/52T has a reverse recovery time of 50 ns, while the ES2GHE3_A/H has 35 ns. The ES2GHE3_A/H exhibits faster switching characteristics. Both parts meet the fast recovery classification (≤ 500 ns for currents > 200 mA).

Q: Does the ES2GHE3_A/H have automotive qualification?

A: Yes. The ES2GHE3_A/H is automotive-grade and qualified to AEC-Q101 standard. The ES2F-M3/52T is standard industrial-grade without automotive qualification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both are classified as active products.

Q: What packaging format difference exists between these parts?

A: The ES2F-M3/52T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. The ES2GHE3_A/H is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both use the same DO-214AA (SMB) component package.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts use the DO-214AA (SMB) package with identical footprints and pinouts. PCB designs require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements and supply chain strategy. For automotive applications, ES2GHE3_A/H is required due to AEC-Q101 qualification. For industrial applications with high-volume production, ES2F-M3/52T in Tape & Reel format is appropriate. For applications requiring faster switching performance, ES2GHE3_A/H offers superior reverse recovery time (35 ns versus 50 ns).
