The proton decay of 53Com(3174.1 keV; 19/2−) was investigated via the fragmentation of a 58Ni primary beam. The proton-decay energy was determined with an improved precision to be 1558(8) keV. With this new result and the mass of 53Com, the 52Fe mass excess was derived to be −48330(8) keV, which is in good agreement with the AME12 value. A new recommended value of −48331.6(49) keV is given.
