ESH3C V7G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESH3C V7G is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 150 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing production and repair applications. The ESH3C V7G maintains fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 20 ns, suitable for standard rectification circuits requiring moderate voltage and current ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESH3C V7G is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 150 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 3 A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 20 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 5 µA @ 150 V
• Capacitance @ Vr, F: 45 pF @ 4V, 1MHz

Mechanical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Package / Case: DO-214AB, SMC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Compliance & Status Parameters:

• Technology: Standard
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -55°C to 175°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The ESH3C (without V7G suffix designation) from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESH3C substitute part is a direct functional equivalent to the ESH3C V7G. Both components are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: the ESH3C V7G is discontinued, while the ESH3C remains in active production with current inventory availability.

The ESH3C is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is the standard distribution method for surface mount components in production environments. This packaging format is compatible with automated assembly processes and provides equivalent component performance to the original part designation.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing. The identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and all electrical parameters ensure functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESH3C substitute directly replace the ESH3C V7G in production?

A: Yes. The ESH3C meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the ESH3C V7G. Both components are rated for 150 V DC reverse voltage, 3 A average rectified current, and feature identical reverse recovery time (20 ns), leakage current, and capacitance characteristics. The DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package is identical between both parts.

Q: What is the difference between ESH3C V7G and ESH3C?

A: The V7G suffix on the original part number indicates a specific product variant or version designation from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. The base part number ESH3C represents the current active production version. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The primary difference is product status: ESH3C V7G is discontinued, while ESH3C is actively manufactured.

Q: Is the Tape & Reel packaging compatible with my assembly process?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is the standard packaging format for surface mount components in automated assembly environments. The ESH3C is supplied in this format, which is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes used for DO-214AB (SMC) packages.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both the ESH3C V7G and ESH3C maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both components satisfy the same regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the ESH3C V7G and ESH3C operate across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, providing identical thermal performance characteristics for circuit applications.

Q: Can I use the ESH3C in applications originally designed for ESH3C V7G?

A: Yes. The ESH3C is a direct substitute for the ESH3C V7G. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics are identical. No circuit modifications or design changes are required.
