ES3J R6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ES3J R6 is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 600 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. This component is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Equivalent diodes meeting the same electrical and mechanical specifications are available from both the original manufacturer and alternative suppliers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ES3J R6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: DC reverse voltage rating (600 V), average rectified current (3 A), forward voltage drop (1.7 V @ 3 A), reverse recovery time (35 ns), reverse leakage current (10 µA @ 600 V), and surface mount DO-214AB package compatibility. All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical specifications and package requirements, ensuring direct functional replacement in circuit applications. Variations in secondary parameters such as capacitance, reverse leakage current tolerance, and reverse recovery time do not preclude substitution when the primary ratings remain within specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ES3J V7G (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation): Parametric equivalent to ES3J R6 with identical electrical specifications. Differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus unspecified packaging on main part). Product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Suitable for direct substitution where packaging format is compatible with assembly processes.

ES3JH (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation): Parametric equivalent with identical core electrical specifications. Carries automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101) and maintains active product status. Packaged in Tape & Reel format. Recommended for applications requiring active product availability and automotive-grade reliability assurance.

ER3J_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.): Meets all primary electrical specifications with improved reverse leakage current (1 µA versus 10 µA) and maintains 35 ns reverse recovery time. Active product status with high inventory availability (42,000 pcs). Packaged in Tape & Reel format. Suitable for direct substitution with enhanced leakage performance.

UF3J_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.): Meets all primary electrical specifications with improved reverse leakage current (1 µA) but exhibits extended reverse recovery time (100 ns versus 35 ns). Active product status with moderate inventory availability (4,100 pcs). Packaged in Tape & Reel format. Substitution requires verification that extended recovery time does not impact circuit switching performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ES3J V7G be used as a direct replacement for ES3J R6?

A: Yes. ES3J V7G maintains identical electrical specifications including 600 V reverse voltage, 3 A current rating, 1.7 V forward voltage drop, and 35 ns reverse recovery time. Both are surface mount DO-214AB packages. Substitution is valid provided the packaging format (Cut Tape) is compatible with assembly equipment.

Q: What is the difference between ES3JH and ER3J_R1_00001?

A: Both parts meet the primary electrical specifications. ES3JH is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. ER3J_R1_00001 is manufactured by Panjit International Inc. and offers lower reverse leakage current (1 µA versus 10 µA). Selection depends on automotive qualification requirements and leakage performance needs.

Q: Why does UF3J_R1_00001 have a longer reverse recovery time?

A: UF3J_R1_00001 exhibits 100 ns reverse recovery time compared to 35 ns for other equivalents. This parameter is provided in the component specifications and reflects the device's switching characteristics. Applications sensitive to switching speed must evaluate whether this extended recovery time affects circuit performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (ES3J V7G, ES3JH, ER3J_R1_00001, and UF3J_R1_00001) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original ES3J R6.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: ER3J_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.) has the highest inventory availability at 42,000 pcs. ES3JH (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) has 3,746 pcs available. Both are active products suitable for procurement.

Q: Can UF3J_R1_00001 be used in high-frequency switching applications?

A: UF3J_R1_00001 has a reverse recovery time of 100 ns. Applications requiring fast switching performance should use parts with 35 ns recovery time (ES3J V7G, ES3JH, or ER3J_R1_00001) to ensure adequate switching speed.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across the same junction temperature range: -55°C to 150°C, matching the original ES3J R6 specification.
