Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ES3C-13-F are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC (Surface Mount)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: Within standard rectifier diode tolerances
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): Variation acceptable within fast recovery classification
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: Consistent at 10 µA @ 150 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: Consistent at 45 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Substitute parts ES3C (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) and ES3C-E3/57T (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) meet all critical matching parameters and maintain electrical performance within the fast recovery diode classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ES3C (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains identical voltage and current ratings, package configuration, and temperature operating range. Forward voltage specification is 950 mV at 3 A, which is within acceptable tolerance for general-purpose rectifier applications. Reverse recovery time is 35 ns, remaining within the fast recovery classification. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm environmental and handling compatibility. Current inventory availability is 10,200 pieces.

ES3C-E3/57T (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. This part matches all critical electrical specifications including 150 V reverse voltage, 3 A current rating, and fast recovery speed classification. Forward voltage is 900 mV at 3 A, identical to the primary part. Reverse recovery time is 30 ns, providing intermediate performance between the primary part and the Taiwan Semiconductor substitute. ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status confirm full regulatory alignment. Current inventory availability is 18,900 pieces. Packaging is specified as Tape & Reel (TR), matching the primary part's packaging format.

Both substitute parts are Active product status and maintain all compliance certifications required for the ES3C-13-F application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES3C-13-F be directly replaced with ES3C (Taiwan Semiconductor)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage rating (150 V), current rating (3 A), package type (DO-214AB, SMC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). Forward voltage difference of 50 mV (950 mV vs. 900 mV) is within standard rectifier diode tolerance. Both maintain fast recovery speed classification and identical reverse leakage current specification.

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

A: ES3C-13-F specifies 25 ns, ES3C-E3/57T specifies 30 ns, and ES3C specifies 35 ns. All three remain within the fast recovery classification (≤ 500ns, > 200mA). The variation reflects different semiconductor manufacturing processes while maintaining functional equivalence for general-purpose rectification applications.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use the DO-214AB SMC package configuration, which defines identical physical dimensions and land pattern requirements. Surface mount assembly equipment and PCB design files require no modification for substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. ES3C (Taiwan Semiconductor) and ES3C-E3/57T (Vishay) both carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH Unaffected status, matching the primary ES3C-13-F part exactly.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest forward voltage drop?

A: ES3C-13-F and ES3C-E3/57T both specify 900 mV forward voltage at 3 A. ES3C (Taiwan Semiconductor) specifies 950 mV at 3 A, representing a 50 mV increase. Selection based on forward voltage should consider application power dissipation requirements.

Q: Can packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. ES3C-13-F and ES3C-E3/57T are supplied in Tape & Reel format. ES3C packaging is not specified in available data. All three parts use identical DO-214AB SMC package geometry suitable for automated surface mount assembly.
