Product details
Overview
GP08JHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated junction rectifier in DO-41 package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 0.8 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 25 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM); it delivers 1.3 V forward voltage at 0.8 A and 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, used in AC/DC power supply freewheeling and DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the GP08JHE3/73 datasheet, GP08JHE3/73 pinout, GP08JHE3/73 application, or GP08JHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (55 °C/W), reverse recovery time (2.0 μs), junction capacitance (8.0 pF), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-diode Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling high reliability in continuous-duty rectification. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and low IR (5.0 μA @ 25 °C) support stable operation in thermally constrained industrial power supplies.
The 2.0 μs typical reverse recovery time and 8.0 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V/1 MHz indicate optimized switching behavior for medium-frequency (<100 kHz) rectification. Thermal resistance of 55 °C/W is specified for PCB-mounted 0.375" lead length per JESD 22-B106.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports input rectification from 420 V RMS AC lines or 600 V DC bus applications |
| IF(AV) | 0.8 A - continuous conduction capability at 55 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length |
| IFSM | 25 A - withstands short-duration inrush or fault currents in SMPS and motor drives |
| VF @ 0.8 A | 1.3 V - limits conduction loss to ~1.04 W at full average current |
| IR @ 25 °C | 5.0 μA - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance hold-up circuits |
| trr | 2.0 μs - enables efficient operation in flyback and forward converter secondary-side rectification |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - defines thermal derating slope for PCB layout with standard copper pad area |

Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Input Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Full-wave bridge rectification of 230 V AC mains feeding bulk capacitor in offline SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting AC input to pulsating DC; handles 25 A surge during cold-start inrush. Use Value: 600 V VRRM margin accommodates line transients; 1.3 V VF minimizes heat generation at 0.8 A average load. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side freewheeling path in isolated flyback converter delivering 12 V/0.5 A to industrial sensor module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss return path during MOSFET off-time; recovers in 2.0 μs to limit switching loss. Use Value: 2.0 μs trr and 8.0 pF CJ reduce ringing and EMI vs. slower general-purpose diodes. |
| Inverter Output Stage Protection | Industrial Motor Drive Snubber Network |
Use Scenario: Anti-parallel clamping diode across IGBT in 3-phase inverter output stage driving HVAC compressor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts reactive energy during IGBT turn-off; absorbs inductive kickback without avalanche breakdown. Use Value: 25 A IFSM rating safely handles motor stall surges; 175 °C TJ max allows mounting near heatsink. | Use Scenario: Snubber diode in RC network across relay contacts controlling 24 V DC solenoid in PLC I/O module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps inductive voltage spikes during contact opening; prevents arcing and contact welding. Use Value: 600 V VRRM provides >2× safety margin over 24 V system; low IR avoids leakage-induced false triggering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007-E3/54 | Lower VRRM (1000 V), higher VF (1.1 V @ 1 A), no trr spec, 3 A IFSM | Designed for low-frequency (<1 kHz) rectification only; unsuitable for flyback snubbing due to slow recovery | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs switching performance and surge robustness |
| GP08J-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging (5500 pcs tape-and-reel vs. 3000 pcs ammo pack) | No functional difference; same thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior | Choose based on production line feed mechanism and lot size requirements |
Compared with 1N4007-E3/54, GP08JHE3/73 offers superior surge handling (25 A vs. 3 A) and verified fast recovery (2.0 μs), while GP08J-E3/54 provides identical performance in alternate packaging-both require no circuit redesign but differ in logistics and high-frequency suitability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP08JHE3/73?
The GP08JHE3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies or under-hood automotive modules. This rating is validated per the Vishay datasheet 88636 and supports extended thermal design margins without derating below 150 °C in most PCB layouts.
Is GP08JHE3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP08JHE3/73 carries the "E3" suffix, indicating RoHS-compliance and commercial-grade qualification per Vishay's material categorization standard. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, confirming full lead-free process compatibility.
What does the "73" in GP08JHE3/73 signify?
The "73" in GP08JHE3/73 is Vishay's package code denoting ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units. It is functionally identical to GP08J-E3/54 (tape-and-reel, 5500 units) and shares all electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications per datasheet 88636.
Can GP08JHE3/73 replace 1N4007 in existing designs?
GP08JHE3/73 is not a direct drop-in replacement for 1N4007 due to differences in surge rating (25 A vs. 3 A), reverse recovery time (2.0 μs vs. unspecified), and thermal resistance (55 °C/W vs. ~65 °C/W). While both are DO-41 packaged, GP08JHE3/73 offers enhanced performance in high-surge or medium-frequency applications but requires validation of layout thermal paths.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of GP08JHE3/73 and why does it matter?
The GP08JHE3/73 has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 2.0 μs under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A conditions. This fast recovery reduces switching losses and EMI in flyback and forward converters, distinguishing it from general-purpose rectifiers like 1N4007 that lack defined trr and exhibit longer recovery tails.
