ES3BHE3_A/I Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES3BHE3_A/I is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount diode operates at 100 V DC reverse voltage with a 3 A average rectified current rating and features fast recovery characteristics with a 30 ns reverse recovery time. The device is housed in a DO-214AB (SMC) package and is classified as an active product with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same application category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ES3BHE3_A/I are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 100 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 3 A
Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and reverse recovery time (within fast recovery classification) do not affect functional equivalence in general-purpose rectifier applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and environmental regulations. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by packaging format requirements and inventory availability.

ES3B-E3/57T (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): Identical electrical specifications and operating parameters. Supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Suitable for applications requiring tape format without reel configuration.

ES3B-E3/9AT (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): Identical electrical specifications and operating parameters. Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format matching the main part packaging. Maintains same manufacturer source.

ES3B-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): Meets all electrical and mechanical requirements with reverse recovery time of 25 ns, which is within the fast recovery classification. Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Represents alternative manufacturer source with equivalent performance.

All parts are AEC-Q101 qualified or equivalent standard grade, suitable for automotive and industrial applications. Selection should be based on packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES3B-E3/57T be used as a direct replacement for ES3BHE3_A/I?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (100 V, 3 A, 900 mV forward voltage, 30 ns recovery time) and the same DO-214AB SMC package. The difference is packaging format: ES3B-E3/57T is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) while ES3BHE3_A/I is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Compatibility depends on assembly equipment capability to process Cut Tape format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, typically for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Is ES3B-13-F from Diodes Incorporated electrically equivalent to the Vishay parts?

A: Yes. ES3B-13-F meets all critical electrical parameters: 100 V reverse voltage, 3 A average rectified current, 900 mV forward voltage at 3 A, and identical junction temperature range. The reverse recovery time is 25 ns compared to 30 ns in the Vishay parts, which represents improved performance within the fast recovery classification. All parts maintain identical capacitance, leakage current, and package specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the main part ES3BHE3_A/I.

Q: Can these parts be used in automotive applications?

A: The main part ES3BHE3_A/I carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Substitute parts ES3B-E3/57T and ES3B-E3/9AT are from the same manufacturer and product line. ES3B-13-F from Diodes Incorporated meets equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Automotive application suitability should be confirmed against specific design qualification requirements.

Q: What determines whether a part is a valid substitute?

A: Valid substitutes must match the following parameters: DC reverse voltage (100 V), average rectified current (3 A), forward voltage (900 mV @ 3 A), package type (DO-214AB SMC), mounting method (Surface Mount), operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and compliance status (ROHS3, MSL 1). Reverse recovery time variation within the fast recovery classification does not prevent substitution.
