Product details
Overview
GP02-35-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a high-voltage glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier in DO-41 package, rated for 3500 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) and fast recovery (2.0 μs trr) for use in high-voltage power supply rectification.
For engineers reviewing the GP02-35-M3/54 datasheet, GP02-35-M3/54 pinout, GP02-35-M3/54 application, or GP02-35-M3/54 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3500 V blocking capability, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, thermal resistance of 130 °C/W, and suitability for freewheeling and converter circuits requiring rugged, cavity-free junction reliability.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-diode Superectifier® structure with glass-passivated junction to eliminate cavity-related failure modes under high-voltage stress. Its 2.0 μs reverse recovery time and 3.0 pF junction capacitance support efficient switching in line-frequency and medium-speed converter topologies.
Rated for operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, the GP02-35-M3/54 maintains stable 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C and 50 μA at 100 °C under full 3500 V DC blocking, enabling reliable performance in thermally demanding industrial power stages.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GP02-35-E3/54 | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating (E3 suffix), same DO-41 package | No functional difference; E3 meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test, M3 does not specify whisker rating | Select GP02-35-E3/54 for RoHS-compliant production requiring whisker-tested terminations |
| HER308G | 3000 V VRRM (vs. 3500 V), 3.0 A IF(AV), TO-220AC package, higher VF (3.3 V) | Higher current rating but lower voltage margin; requires heatsink for >0.5 A continuous | Choose HER308G only if system voltage stays below 2100 V RMS and thermal design accommodates TO-220 mounting |
Compared with GP02-35-E3/54, the GP02-35-M3/54 shares identical voltage/current ratings but lacks explicit whisker-test certification; versus HER308G, it offers superior 3500 V isolation and axial DO-41 fit in space-constrained layouts, though at lower average current capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP02-35-M3/54?
The GP02-35-M3/54 has a specified operating junction and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. This 175 °C maximum junction temperature enables deployment in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power cabinets or near heat-generating components, provided thermal resistance (RθJA = 130 °C/W) and power dissipation are properly managed in layout.
Is GP02-35-M3/54 RoHS-compliant?
The GP02-35-M3/54 carries the "M3" suffix, which denotes matte tin plating but does not explicitly indicate RoHS compliance per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. In contrast, the E3 suffix (e.g., GP02-35-E3/54) confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing. Customers requiring certified RoHS status should verify compliance documentation directly with Vishay or select the E3 variant.
What does the "/54" suffix mean in GP02-35-M3/54?
The "/54" suffix in GP02-35-M3/54 indicates the preferred packaging code: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, with a base quantity of 5500 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is standard for high-volume manufacturing of axial-leaded DO-41 devices like the GP02-35-M3/54.
Can GP02-35-M3/54 be used as a direct replacement for GP02-35-E3/54?
GP02-35-M3/54 and GP02-35-E3/54 share identical electrical specifications, DO-41 package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. However, the E3 version is explicitly certified to JESD 201 class 1A for whisker resistance, while M3 does not carry that qualification. For applications where whisker growth poses a reliability risk (e.g., high-humidity or long-life deployments), GP02-35-E3/54 is the recommended alternative to GP02-35-M3/54.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of GP02-35-M3/54 and how is it measured?
The GP02-35-M3/54 has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 2.0 μs, measured under conditions of IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This parameter reflects the diode's speed when transitioning from forward conduction to reverse blocking, directly impacting switching loss in converter topologies operating up to ~50 kHz - a key design factor for selecting GP02-35-M3/54 in freewheeling or snubberless applications.
