Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES3B V6G is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Maximum DC reverse voltage of 100 V
• Current Rating: Average rectified current of 3 A
• Package Type: DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount configuration
• Speed Classification: Fast recovery characteristics with reverse recovery time of 35 ns
• Reverse Leakage: Maximum 10 µA at 100 V
• Capacitance: 45 pF at 4 V, 1 MHz
• Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature from -55°C to 150°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The ES3B from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and package configuration while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ES3B represents a direct functional and physical equivalent to the ES3B V6G. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 100 V reverse voltage rating, 3 A average rectified current, 35 ns reverse recovery time, and DO-214AB surface mount packaging.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product lifecycle status. The ES3B V6G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the ES3B maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (10,400 pieces versus 843 pieces). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this rectifier specification, the ES3B should be selected as the primary component choice due to active product status and superior supply chain availability. Existing designs utilizing the ES3B V6G can transition to the ES3B without modification to schematic, layout, or assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ES3B be used as a direct replacement for the ES3B V6G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ES3B is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications and package configuration. No design modifications are required for schematic, PCB layout, or assembly procedures.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this rectifier diode?

A: Substitution is determined by matching the following parameters: 100 V DC reverse voltage rating, 3 A average rectified current, 35 ns reverse recovery time, DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package, 10 µA reverse leakage at 100 V, 45 pF capacitance at 4 V and 1 MHz, and -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the ES3B V6G and ES3B?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: Why is the ES3B recommended over the ES3B V6G?

A: The ES3B is recommended due to active product status and higher inventory availability (10,400 pieces in stock versus 843 pieces for the discontinued ES3B V6G). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, making the ES3B the preferred choice for procurement and new designs.

Q: Does the forward voltage specification affect substitution compatibility?

A: The forward voltage specification (950 mV @ 3 A) is provided for the ES3B but not documented for the ES3B V6G. This parameter does not affect substitution eligibility, as both parts operate within the same rectifier classification and thermal characteristics. The forward voltage value is consistent with standard fast recovery diode performance at the specified current rating.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the ES3B V6G and ES3B use identical DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount packaging. PCB footprints, solder reflow profiles, and assembly processes are interchangeable.
