ES3C-M3/9AT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES3C-M3/9AT is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. This surface mount diode operates at 150 V DC reverse voltage with a 3 A average rectified current rating and is packaged in the DO-214AB (SMC) form factor. The device is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same performance envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts ES3C-E3/57T and ES3C-13-F are functionally equivalent to the ES3C-M3/9AT within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these options is based on the following factors:

ES3C-E3/57T (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division): This substitute maintains identical specifications to the main part, including reverse recovery time of 30 ns. It is manufactured by the same supplier as the main part and carries the same compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

ES3C-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): This substitute meets all electrical specifications with a reverse recovery time of 25 ns, which is superior to the main part specification. It is manufactured by an alternative qualified supplier and carries equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Both parts are Active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating and are suitable for direct substitution in surface mount applications requiring 150 V, 3 A general-purpose rectification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES3C-E3/57T be used as a direct replacement for ES3C-M3/9AT?

A: Yes. The ES3C-E3/57T meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the ES3C-M3/9AT, including voltage rating (150 V), current rating (3 A), forward voltage (900 mV @ 3 A), reverse recovery time (30 ns), and package type (DO-214AB, SMC). Both are manufactured by Vishay and carry identical compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between ES3C-13-F and the main part ES3C-M3/9AT?

A: The ES3C-13-F is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated rather than Vishay. The primary electrical difference is the reverse recovery time: ES3C-13-F specifies 25 ns compared to 30 ns for the main part. All other parameters, including voltage, current, forward voltage, leakage current, and capacitance, are identical. The package type (DO-214AB, SMC) and compliance certifications are equivalent.

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

A: Yes. All three parts use the DO-214AB (SMC) package type with identical mounting specifications for surface mount assembly. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the same junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected based on availability?

A: Selection should be based on inventory status and supply chain requirements. ES3C-E3/57T has 18,900 pieces in stock, ES3C-13-F has 10,300 pieces in stock, and ES3C-M3/9AT has 920 pieces in stock. All are available as new original components in Tape & Reel packaging.
