For engineers reviewing the GP02-30-M3/54 datasheet, GP02-30-M3/54 pinout, GP02-30-M3/54 application, or GP02-30-M3/54 equivalent, key selection factors include verified VRRM = 3000 V, IR ≤ 5.0 μA at 25 °C, VF = 3.0 V at 1.0 A, trr = 2.0 μs, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-diode Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass-passivated junction, enabling stable operation up to TJ = +175 °C and low leakage under high DC blocking conditions. Its 2.0 μs reverse recovery time and 3.0 pF junction capacitance support moderate-speed switching in line-frequency and auxiliary power conversion circuits.
The DO-41 package features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, rated for solder dip at 275 °C for 10 s, and UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy encapsulation - confirming suitability for industrial-grade, high-reliability rectification where thermal and mechanical robustness are required.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated DC source generation from auxiliary transformer windings operating at ≥1 kV potential difference. Use Value: 5.0 μA IR ensures negligible loading on high-impedance bias windings, preserving regulation accuracy across temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GP02-30-E3/54 | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in lead finish (E3 = JESD 201 Class 1A whisker-tested matte tin vs. M3 = unspecified finish) | No functional impact; E3 variant preferred for high-reliability automotive or aerospace programs requiring whisker mitigation | Select GP02-30-E3/54 if whisker resistance per JESD 201 Class 1A is mandated; otherwise GP02-30-M3/54 is functionally identical |
| 1N4007G | Lower VRRM (1000 V), higher VF (1.1 V), same IF(AV) and DO-41 package; not rated for >125 °C operation | Restricted to ≤120 VAC input or low-voltage DC systems; unsuitable for 230 VAC or HV industrial use | Only consider 1N4007G for cost-sensitive, low-voltage legacy designs where 3000 V blocking is unnecessary |
Compared with GP02-30-E3/54, GP02-30-M3/54 offers identical voltage/current ratings but lacks documented whisker testing; versus 1N4007G, it delivers triple the reverse voltage rating and extended high-temperature operation, making it essential for 230 VAC-derived HV rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP02-30-M3/54?
The GP02-30-M3/54 has a specified operating junction and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. This +175 °C maximum allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive auxiliary systems, provided thermal design meets the 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance requirement.
Is GP02-30-M3/54 RoHS-compliant?
Yes, GP02-30-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant. The "M3" suffix indicates commercial-grade packaging with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards. While not explicitly labeled E3 (which certifies JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance), its base construction aligns with Vishay's RoHS-compliant material categorization per document 99912.
What does the "/54" suffix mean in GP02-30-M3/54?
The "/54" suffix in GP02-30-M3/54 denotes the preferred package code for tape-and-reel delivery: 13-inch diameter paper tape containing 5500 units. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from the /73 ammo pack variant (3000 units), ensuring consistent feeding and traceability in high-volume manufacturing.
Can GP02-30-M3/54 replace GP02-30-E3/54 in existing designs?
GP02-30-M3/54 can replace GP02-30-E3/54 in most applications since both share identical electrical specifications, DO-41 mechanical outline, and thermal performance. However, GP02-30-E3/54 undergoes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing - a requirement for certain automotive or aerospace programs - so verification of whisker resistance is needed before substitution in those contexts.
Why is GP02-30-M3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
GP02-30-M3/54 is marked "Not for New Designs" per Vishay's August 2022 datasheet revision, indicating the device remains fully manufacturable and supported for existing programs but is not recommended for newly initiated projects. Designers should evaluate Vishay's newer high-voltage rectifier families (e.g., VS-GBPC series) for improved efficiency or integrated solutions, while GP02-30-M3/54 continues to serve legacy and maintenance builds reliably.
