Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ES3CHE3_A/I are qualified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters within the allowed specifications for general-purpose rectifier diodes. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Matching Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 900 mV @ 3 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): ≤ 30 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 150 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 45 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Matching Criteria:

• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 150°C

All substitute parts listed maintain identical or superior electrical performance within these parameters and are housed in the same surface mount package, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility in circuit applications.
