Product details
Overview
1N4002GPE-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms). It delivers 1.1 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and exhibits only 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, supporting low-loss AC-to-DC conversion in power supplies and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 datasheet, 1N4002GPE-M3/54 pinout, 1N4002GPE-M3/54 application, or 1N4002GPE-M3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM rating, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, 150 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon PN-junction rectifier operates as a unidirectional current-conducting device with polarity indicated by a cathode band. Its thermal resistance is 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB-mounted, 0.375" lead length), and it supports square-wave surge currents up to 45 A for 1 ms.
The device meets JESD 22-B106 solderability (275 °C, 10 s), JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, and UL 94 V-0 flammability for the epoxy molding compound - confirming suitability for commercial-grade industrial and consumer power conversion designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating limit in bridge or half-wave rectifier topologies |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; sets minimum heatsinking requirement |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 30 A - surge withstand for line-frequency inrush; critical for transformer-coupled supply startup stress |
| VF @ 1.0 A | 1.1 V - forward conduction loss; determines ~1.1 W dissipation at full rated current |
| IR @ 25 °C | 5.0 μA - minimal reverse leakage; ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in enclosed or thermally constrained enclosures |
| CJ @ 4 V | 15 pF - junction capacitance at 1 MHz; limits high-frequency switching noise and EMI in fast-switching applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads; cathode identified by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connects to AC source or inductive load return path; must handle full IF(AV) and IFSM |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked with color band; connects to positive rail or snubber network; carries same current as anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 1.1 V @ 1.0 A reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in linear and transformer-based supplies |
| High surge capability | 30 A (8.3 ms sine) and 45 A (1 ms square) enable reliable operation during cold-start and fault transients |
| Low leakage current | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| RoHS-compliant terminals | Matte tin plating meets J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance |
| UL 94 V-0 molding | Epoxy body satisfies flammability safety requirements for enclosed power equipment |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Rectification | Freewheeling Diode in Relay Drivers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converts 50/60 Hz AC mains or transformer secondary output to pulsating DC in offline SMPS front-ends and linear regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifying element in single-phase half-wave or full-bridge configurations; conducts only during positive half-cycles. Use Value: 100 V VRRM safely handles 70 V RMS input with margin; 1.1 V VF limits heat generation under 1 A load. | Use Scenario: Suppresses inductive kickback when de-energizing 12 V or 24 V DC relays, solenoids, or small motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance recirculation path for stored coil energy; clamps voltage spike to ~1.1 V above rail. Use Value: 30 A IFSM absorbs typical relay turn-off surges; DO-41 package allows through-hole mounting near coil terminals. |
| Inverter Output Stage Protection | DC-DC Converter Input Rectification |
Use Scenario: Placed across H-bridge MOSFETs or IGBTs to clamp shoot-through or regeneration spikes in motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage clamp limiting reverse recovery stress on switching devices during commutation. Use Value: 150 °C TJ max enables placement near hot power semiconductors; 15 pF CJ avoids resonance with layout parasitics. | Use Scenario: Rectifies high-frequency AC from flyback or forward converter transformers before bulk capacitor filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier converting transformer AC output to regulated DC bus. Use Value: 1.1 V VF balances efficiency and cost vs. Schottky alternatives; DO-41 footprint simplifies manual rework. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4002-E3/54 | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in packaging suffix (E3 vs GPE-M3) and reel quantity (5500 vs unspecified) | No functional difference; identical use in rectification, freewheeling, and clamping | Select 1N4002-E3/54 if standard Vishay tape-and-reel logistics are preferred over GPE-M3's optimized handling |
| STTH1R02 | 100 V, 1 A fast recovery diode (trr ≈ 150 ns); higher VF (~1.3 V) but lower Qrr and CJ (~10 pF) | Better suited for high-frequency (>20 kHz) converters where reverse recovery losses dominate | Choose STTH1R02 only when reducing switching loss outweighs conduction loss increase; not drop-in for 50/60 Hz designs |
Compared with 1N4002GPE-M3/54, 1N4002-E3/54 offers identical performance in all electrical and thermal parameters, while STTH1R02 trades higher forward loss for faster recovery - making it appropriate only where high-frequency operation justifies the VF penalty.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for the 1N4002GPE-M3/54?
The 1N4002GPE-M3/54 has a VRRM rating of 100 V, meaning it can block up to 100 V of reverse voltage repeatedly without breakdown. This value is fixed per the 1N4002 designation and verified in Vishay's official datasheet (Doc. #88503). Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche failure, so design margins should maintain at least 20 % derating in noisy or inductive environments. The 1N4002GPE-M3/54 shares this rating with all standard 1N4002 variants.
Does the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 have RoHS compliance and lead-free construction?
Yes, the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant and features matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards. Its "GPE" prefix indicates Vishay's green packaging standard, and the "M3" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging compliant with JEDEC standards. The epoxy molding compound also satisfies UL 94 V-0 flammability. These attributes are confirmed in Vishay Document #88503, Revision 29-Apr-2020.
What is the forward voltage drop (VF) of the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 at its rated current?
The 1N4002GPE-M3/54 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1.0 A and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay's datasheet. This value increases with temperature and current - e.g., ~1.25 V at 125 °C - and directly impacts conduction loss (P = VF × IF). Designers must account for this in thermal calculations, especially when operating near the 150 °C junction limit.
Can the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N4002-E3/54?
Yes, the 1N4002GPE-M3/54 is functionally and electrically identical to the 1N4002-E3/54 in all key parameters including VRRM, IF(AV), VF, IR, and thermal ratings. Both use DO-41 packaging and RoHS-compliant terminals. The difference lies solely in packaging nomenclature and reel configuration - GPE-M3 reflects Vishay's updated green-part labeling and handling optimization, while E3/54 denotes legacy ordering code. No circuit or layout changes are needed.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating for the 1N4002GPE-M3/54?
The 1N4002GPE-M3/54 is rated for 30 A IFSM under an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform and 45 A under a 1 ms square-wave pulse, per Vishay Document #88503. These values define its ability to survive transient inrush currents during power-up or fault conditions. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; at 75 °C, the 8.3 ms IFSM drops to approximately 22 A. Always verify surge profile match using Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 in the datasheet.
