Product details
Overview
GP02-25-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-voltage glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier in DO-41 package, rated for 2500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.25 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 15 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), fast recovery (2.0 μs trr), and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - used in high-voltage power supply rectification and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the GP02-25-M3/54 datasheet, GP02-25-M3/54 pinout, GP02-25-M3/54 application, or GP02-25-M3/54 equivalent, key selection factors include verified VRRM = 2500 V, IF(AV) = 0.25 A with 0.375" lead derating, VF = 3.0 V at 1.0 A, IR = 5.0 μA at 25 °C, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility for through-hole high-reliability power stages.
Technical Context
This Superectifier® device uses a cavity-free glass-passivated junction to achieve high reliability under high-voltage stress and thermal cycling. Its single-diode configuration supports unidirectional conduction with low leakage and controlled reverse recovery behavior.
The DO-41 package enables robust PCB mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Thermal resistance RθJA is 130 °C/W at 0.375" lead length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 2500 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking capability without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 0.25 A at TA = 55 °C with 0.375" lead length - continuous DC output current limit |
| IFSM | 15 A - peak surge withstand for 8.3 ms half-sine, critical for inrush and fault protection |
| VF | 3.0 V at IF = 1.0 A - forward conduction loss impacting efficiency and thermal design |
| IR | 5.0 μA at VR = 2500 V, TA = 25 °C - low leakage preserves high-impedance hold-off in standby |
| trr | 2.0 μs - fast recovery minimizes switching losses in high-frequency rectifiers and snubbers |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - extended thermal range supports operation in enclosed or high-ambient environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R06 | VRRM = 600 V, IF(AV) = 2.0 A, trr = 65 ns - lower voltage, higher current, faster recovery | Not suitable for >2000 V blocking; better for 400–600 V SMPS secondary rectification | Select GP02-25-M3/54 when VRRM ≥ 2500 V is mandatory; STTH2R06 only viable if system redesign permits lower voltage rating. |
| 1N5622 | VRRM = 2500 V, IF(AV) = 0.25 A, trr ≈ 3.0 μs - same voltage/current rating but slower recovery and higher VF (~3.5 V) | Compatible in legacy DO-41 layouts but increases conduction loss and thermal load | GP02-25-M3/54 offers 0.5 V lower VF and 0.5 μs faster trr than 1N5622, improving efficiency in thermally constrained designs. |
Compared with STTH2R06 and 1N5622, GP02-25-M3/54 uniquely balances 2500 V blocking, 0.25 A average current, and 2.0 μs recovery in DO-41 - making it irreplaceable where high-voltage integrity and moderate speed coexist without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of GP02-25-M3/54?
The GP02-25-M3/54 has a VRRM rating of 2500 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 2500 volts of repetitive reverse voltage without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88635, page 2, under Maximum Ratings. The "25" in the part number directly denotes this 2500 V rating, distinguishing it from GP02-20 (2000 V) and GP02-30 (3000 V).
Is GP02-25-M3/54 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, GP02-25-M3/54 is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. It uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded package designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. The leads are intended for insertion into PCB holes and soldering with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length specified for thermal derating. No SMD variant exists for this part number.
What does the "M3/54" suffix mean in GP02-25-M3/54?
The "M3/54" suffix indicates packaging and reel configuration: "M3" refers to tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-D standards, and "54" is Vishay's package code for 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel containing 5500 units. This matches the ordering information shown in the datasheet, where GP02-25-E3/54 is listed with base quantity 5500 and delivery mode "13" diameter paper tape and reel".
Does GP02-25-M3/54 have RoHS compliance certification?
Yes, GP02-25-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant. The "E3" base suffix (present in GP02-25-E3/54, which shares identical die and construction) confirms commercial-grade RoHS compliance per Vishay's material categorization policy. The terminals are matte tin plated and meet JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0.
Why is GP02-25-M3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
GP02-25-M3/54 is marked "Not for New Designs" because Vishay has discontinued active development and long-term roadmap support for the GP02 family, as noted in the August 2022 revision of datasheet 88635. It remains available for existing production and legacy repair, but new designs should consider Vishay's newer high-voltage rectifier families such as the VS-GBPC or VSK series for enhanced performance and ongoing support.
