Product details
Overview
1N4003GP-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a general-purpose plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 1.1 V forward voltage drop at 1.0 A. It serves as a unidirectional power conversion element in AC/DC front-end stages of low-cost power supplies and freewheeling paths in inductive switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4003GP-M3/54 datasheet, 1N4003GP-M3/54 pinout, 1N4003GP-M3/54 application, or 1N4003GP-M3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VRRM = 200 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, IFSM = 30 A (8.3 ms), IR = 5.0 μA at 25 °C, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete silicon PN-junction diode operates as a single-anode/cathode unidirectional conduction device with no control gate or bias circuitry. Its junction temperature range spans –50 °C to +150 °C, and thermal resistance is 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, 0.375" lead length).
It exhibits low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C, 50 μA at 125 °C), high surge capability (30 A half-sine, 45 A square-wave 1 ms), and typical junction capacitance of 15 pF at 4.0 V / 1 MHz - characteristics optimized for 50/60 Hz line-frequency rectification rather than RF or fast-switching use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe AC input voltage limit (e.g., ≤141 V RMS) in bridge or half-wave rectifiers |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; sets minimum heatsinking requirement |
| VF | 1.1 V @ 1.0 A - forward conduction loss per diode; contributes ~1.1 W dissipation at full load, requiring thermal management |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - reverse leakage current at rated VDC; critical for low-power standby efficiency and voltage hold-up integrity |
| IFSM | 30 A @ 8.3 ms - non-repetitive surge rating; withstands inrush currents during cold-start of capacitive-input power supplies |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling |
| CJ | 15 pF @ 4 V, 1 MHz - junction capacitance; negligible impact at 50/60 Hz but limits use above ~100 kHz |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), molded epoxy body with matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by cathode band; UL 94 V-0 flammability rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC source or inductive load return path; must handle full IF(AV) and IFSM current stress |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to positive rail or snubber node; marked by color band; carries same current as anode with 1.1 V drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 1.1 V @ 1.0 A reduces conduction loss and thermal load in cost-sensitive linear and transformer-based supplies |
| High forward surge capability | 30 A (8.3 ms) enables reliable cold-start into large bulk capacitors without degradation |
| Low leakage current | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C preserves output voltage hold-up and minimizes standby power in off-line adapters |
| Solderability compliance | Matte tin leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; supports wave and hand soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s |
| RoHS-compliant construction | E3 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant materials and JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance for long-term reliability |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Rectification | Freewheeling Diode in Relay Drivers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-wave or full-wave rectification in wall adapters and embedded AC/DC converters delivering ≤12 V / 1 A output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting AC line input to pulsating DC; placed directly after transformer secondary or bridge input. Use Value: 200 V VRRM safely accommodates 115 V AC mains with margin; 1.1 V VF limits heat generation in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: Suppressing back-EMF spikes when de-energizing 12 V DC relays or solenoids in industrial control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamp providing low-impedance recirculation path for inductive kickback energy. Use Value: 30 A IFSM absorbs typical relay turn-off surges; DO-41 package allows direct through-hole mounting near coil terminals. |
| Inverter DC Bus Protection | DC Power Rail Reverse Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: Input-stage rectification in low-power inverters converting 12 V DC to 120 V AC for portable tools or lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolating battery-side DC from inverter H-bridge; blocks reverse current during MOSFET dead-time transitions. Use Value: 150 °C TJ max. sustains operation under intermittent overload; 50 °C/W RθJA enables natural convection cooling. | Use Scenario: Preventing damage from accidental reverse connection of 5–24 V DC power inputs in instrumentation and IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series blocking diode on main power rail; conducts only when polarity is correct. Use Value: 1.0 A IF(AV) supports typical sensor node loads; 5.0 μA IR ensures minimal quiescent current drain in battery-powered mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4003G-E3/54 | Same VRRM = 200 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, DO-41 package; differs only in lead finish (matte tin vs. annealed tin) and packaging code | No functional difference; identical electrical and thermal specs; both RoHS-compliant and JESD 201 class 1A qualified | Select 1N4003G-E3/54 if legacy BOM alignment or distributor stock availability is prioritized over M3 tape-and-reel optimization |
| STPS1H200 | Schottky diode, VR = 200 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, but VF ≈ 0.95 V and IR ≈ 500 μA at 25 °C - higher leakage, lower drop | Better efficiency in high-frequency SMPS; unsuitable for high-temperature or low-leakage hold-up applications due to elevated IR | Choose STPS1H200 only where reduced conduction loss outweighs leakage sensitivity and thermal derating constraints |
Compared with 1N4003GP-M3/54, 1N4003G-E3/54 offers identical performance in all key parameters and is interchangeable in layout and function, while STPS1H200 trades higher reverse leakage for lower forward drop - making it viable only in thermally managed, high-efficiency switch-mode designs where leakage is not critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for the 1N4003GP-M3/54?
The 1N4003GP-M3/54 has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V. This rating ensures reliable blocking of reverse voltage transients in standard 115 V AC mains applications with adequate safety margin. It is confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet document number 88503, revision 29-Apr-2020, and applies specifically to the 1N4003GP-M3/54 variant within the 1N400x family.
Does the 1N4003GP-M3/54 have RoHS compliance and lead-free construction?
Yes, the 1N4003GP-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant and features matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing requirements. The "E3" designation in its ordering nomenclature confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and associated material restrictions. This is explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet for the 1N400x series, and the 1N4003GP-M3/54 adheres to the same material specifications.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N4003GP-M3/54 at its rated current?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of the 1N4003GP-M3/54 is 1.1 V at 1.0 A and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay's 88503 datasheet. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (300 μs, 1 % duty cycle) and represents typical conduction loss during steady-state operation in rectifier applications using the 1N4003GP-M3/54.
Can the 1N4003GP-M3/54 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4003GP-M3/54 uses a DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-lead through-hole package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. It requires plated-through holes and wave or selective soldering. For SMT equivalents, engineers should consider Vishay's VS-1N4003G-M3/54 (same specs, SOD-123FL) or other SMT-rated general-purpose rectifiers - the 1N4003GP-M3/54 itself is strictly through-hole.
What is the peak forward surge current rating for the 1N4003GP-M3/54?
The 1N4003GP-M3/54 is rated for a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 30 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, per JEDEC standards. This rating is validated for single-event inrush conditions such as capacitor charging at power-on and is documented in the Maximum Ratings table of the Vishay 88503 datasheet for the 1N4003GP-M3/54.
