Part Overview

The ES3J is a general-purpose rectifier diode rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. Manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, this fast recovery diode features a reverse recovery time of 35 ns and operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The part is RoHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design optimization calls for components with comparable electrical characteristics from different manufacturers. All substitute parts listed maintain the core electrical specifications required for 600 V, 3 A rectification applications while offering variations in secondary parameters such as forward voltage, reverse recovery time, and capacitance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES3J rectifier diode is determined by strict adherence to the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600 V minimum
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A minimum
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: DO-214AB or SMC equivalent

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Operating Temperature - Junction: Must encompass or exceed -55°C to 150°C range
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet or exceed the primary substitution criteria. Variations in forward voltage (Vf), reverse recovery time (trr), reverse leakage current, and capacitance are acceptable within the bounds of the fast recovery diode classification and do not preclude functional equivalence in standard rectification applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, confirming their suitability for standard manufacturing and assembly processes without moisture sensitivity constraints.

ES3J (Good-Ark Semiconductor): Direct part number equivalent to the Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation ES3J. Identical voltage, current, and reverse recovery time specifications. Forward voltage of 1.7 V @ 3 A and capacitance of 40 pF @ 4V, 1MHz represent minor variations within acceptable tolerances for general-purpose rectification. Available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats.

ER3J_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.): Meets all primary substitution criteria with identical voltage, current, and reverse recovery time. Reverse leakage current of 1 µA @ 600 V is superior to the main part specification. Capacitance of 45 pF @ 4V, 1MHz is within acceptable range. Supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with higher inventory availability (42,000 pcs).

MURS360T3G (onsemi): Satisfies core voltage and current requirements. Forward voltage of 1.25 V @ 3 A is lower than alternative substitutes, resulting in reduced power dissipation. Reverse recovery time of 75 ns exceeds the main part specification but remains within fast recovery classification. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C to 175°C, providing enhanced thermal margin. Highest inventory availability (105,100 pcs).

RS3J-13-F (Diodes Incorporated): Meets primary substitution criteria with 600 V, 3 A ratings. Forward voltage of 1.3 V @ 3 A and reverse leakage of 5 µA @ 600 V represent intermediate performance characteristics. Reverse recovery time of 250 ns is significantly higher than the main part but remains within fast recovery classification. Supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ES3J be directly replaced with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the core electrical specifications of 600 V reverse voltage, 3 A average rectified current, and fast recovery classification. All are surface mount devices in DO-214AB (SMC) packages with identical mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of reverse recovery time (trr) differences among the substitutes?

A: Reverse recovery time affects switching speed and switching losses in rectification circuits. The ES3J and its Good-Ark equivalent feature 35 ns trr, the fastest among the substitutes. The ER3J_R1_00001 matches this specification. The MURS360T3G (75 ns) and RS3J-13-F (250 ns) have longer recovery times but remain classified as fast recovery diodes. Selection depends on circuit switching frequency requirements; higher frequency applications benefit from shorter trr values.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. The ES3J (Taiwan Semiconductor) and MURS360T3G are available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging. The ER3J_R1_00001 and RS3J-13-F are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging formats are standard for surface mount assembly; selection depends on production equipment and handling requirements.

Q: How do forward voltage differences impact circuit performance?

A: Forward voltage (Vf) affects power dissipation and voltage drop across the diode during conduction. The MURS360T3G exhibits the lowest Vf at 1.25 V @ 3 A, resulting in reduced heat generation. The Good-Ark ES3J and Panjit ER3J_R1_00001 specify 1.7 V @ 3 A. The Diodes Incorporated RS3J-13-F specifies 1.3 V @ 3 A. For high-current or thermally constrained applications, lower Vf values are advantageous.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special dry-pack storage, desiccant handling, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly. Standard warehouse storage conditions are acceptable.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, confirming compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. All parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The MURS360T3G (onsemi) operates from -65°C to 175°C, providing the widest temperature margin. The main ES3J and Good-Ark equivalent operate from -55°C to 150°C. The ER3J_R1_00001 matches the main part range. The RS3J-13-F operates from -65°C to 150°C. Selection of extended temperature range parts is necessary for applications in extreme thermal environments.

Q: Can reverse leakage current differences affect circuit operation?

A: Reverse leakage current affects standoff voltage stability and circuit quiescent current. The ER3J_R1_00001 specifies 1 µA @ 600 V, the lowest among all parts, providing superior reverse blocking characteristics. The main ES3J, Good-Ark equivalent, and MURS360T3G specify 10 µA @ 600 V. The RS3J-13-F specifies 5 µA @ 600 V. For precision rectification or low-leakage applications, lower reverse leakage values are preferred.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to substitute selection?

A: The MURS360T3G (onsemi) offers the highest inventory availability at 105,100 pcs. The ER3J_R1_00001 (Panjit) provides 42,000 pcs. The main ES3J (Taiwan Semiconductor) and Good-Ark equivalent each provide 23,710 pcs. The RS3J-13-F (Diodes Incorporated) provides 17,400 pcs. Inventory levels may influence lead time and cost considerations in procurement decisions.
