Product details
Overview
GF1MHE3/67A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount glass passivated rectifier diode in DO-214BA (GF1) package, rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM); it features low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), fast recovery (2.0 μs trr), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive power supply rectification.
For engineers reviewing the GF1MHE3/67A datasheet, GF1MHE3/67A pinout, GF1MHE3/67A application, or GF1MHE3/67A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000 V blocking capability, 1.2 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, MSL Level 1 rating, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and Superectifier® structure enabling high reliability in freewheeling and converter topologies.
Technical Context
This single-diode rectifier uses a planar passivated junction with glass encapsulation to achieve stable reverse characteristics up to 175 °C junction temperature and low IR drift across temperature. Its 2.0 μs reverse recovery time and 15 pF junction capacitance support operation in medium-frequency switching converters and snubberless freewheeling circuits.
The DO-214BA package provides mechanical robustness with UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding and polarity indicated by a cathode band; thermal resistance is 80 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB-mounted on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad) and 26 °C/W (junction-to-lead), enabling reliable conduction under sustained 1.0 A load at TL = 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports primary-side rectification in offline SMPS and industrial DC link applications |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A at TL = 125 °C - defines continuous conduction limit with standard PCB thermal relief |
| VF | 1.2 V at IF = 1.0 A - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle rectifiers |
| IFSM | 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands inrush and fault currents in AC/DC front-ends |
| trr | 2.0 μs - enables use in 100 kHz-class converters without excessive switching loss or ringing |
| IR | 5.0 μA at 25 °C / 1000 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GF1MHE3_A | Same electrical specs and DO-214BA package; differs only in revision code (A vs. 67A) and tape/reel packaging configuration | No functional difference; identical AEC-Q101 qualification and thermal performance | Select GF1MHE3_A for standard 7" reel delivery; GF1MHE3/67A matches specific OEM packaging requirements |
| ON Semiconductor MUR110HE3/A | 1000 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), but faster trr (75 ns) and higher VF (1.3 V); same DO-214BA footprint | Better suited for high-frequency PFC stages; less optimal for low-loss output rectification due to higher conduction loss | Choose MUR110HE3/A when reverse recovery speed dominates over forward loss; retain GF1MHE3/67A for balanced efficiency in general-purpose rectification |
Compared with GF1MHE3_A and MUR110HE3/A, GF1MHE3/67A offers the lowest VF (1.2 V) among 1000 V 1 A rectifiers in DO-214BA, making it optimal for thermally constrained designs where conduction loss drives thermal design, while maintaining full automotive qualification and MSL Level 1 process compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GF1MHE3/67A?
The GF1MHE3/67A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing and confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 88617. This rating allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. Derating curves in the datasheet define safe operating area versus ambient temperature and PCB copper area. The GF1MHE3/67A must be mounted on a minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad to achieve thermal resistance values specified in the datasheet.
Is GF1MHE3/67A RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GF1MHE3/67A is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "HE3" suffix in the part number and confirmed in Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The terminals are matte tin plated, and the device meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test requirements. Compliance applies to both the die and package materials, including the UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding compound.
What does the "67A" suffix mean in GF1MHE3/67A?
The "67A" suffix in GF1MHE3/67A denotes the revision code and packaging variant per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It identifies a specific manufacturing lot and tape-and-reel configuration-distinct from GF1MHE3_A-but with identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications. The "67A" version is qualified to the same AEC-Q101 standard and shares all rated parameters (VRRM = 1000 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, etc.) with other GF1M variants.
Can GF1MHE3/67A replace GF1JHE3/67A in a design?
No, GF1MHE3/67A cannot directly replace GF1JHE3/67A because they differ in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage: GF1MHE3/67A is rated for 1000 V, while GF1JHE3/67A is rated for 600 V. Substituting GF1MHE3/67A may be acceptable if the circuit operates below 600 V and layout allows, but it introduces unnecessary cost and potential thermal mismatch. Always verify voltage stress margins and derating before interchanging GF1-series variants.
Does GF1MHE3/67A have a defined reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, GF1MHE3/67A has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 2.0 μs, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A, as published in Vishay Document Number 88617. This value is consistent across the GF1M variant and enables use in medium-frequency switching applications such as 65–130 kHz flyback and forward converters. The trr is not guaranteed minimum/maximum but is a typical characterization used for comparative design analysis.
