Product details
Overview
GP10-4003-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.1 V at 1.0 A), low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), and fast reverse recovery (3.0 μs), serving as a freewheeling or output rectifier in AC/DC power supplies and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4003-E3/73 datasheet, GP10-4003-E3/73 pinout, GP10-4003-E3/73 application, or GP10-4003-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V blocking rating, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, thermal resistance of 55 °C/W, 175 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 22-B102 solderability.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-diode Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass-passivated junction, enabling high reliability in continuous conduction mode rectification. Its low VF and low IR support efficiency-critical secondary-side rectification in offline SMPS and industrial power modules.
The 3.0 μs typical reverse recovery time and 7.0 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V/1 MHz indicate optimized switching behavior for 50–60 Hz to mid-frequency (<100 kHz) rectification tasks. Thermal performance is defined for 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length PCB mounting per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC input or flyback voltage swing margin |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - average forward current at 0.375" lead length; sets continuous DC output capability in linear or low-frequency rectifiers |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine; supports inrush and transient overload handling without failure |
| VF | 1.1 V at 1.0 A - forward voltage drop; directly determines conduction loss and thermal dissipation in rectifier path |
| IR | 5.0 μA at 25 °C - DC reverse leakage; critical for low-power standby and high-impedance bias networks |
| trr | 3.0 μs - reverse recovery time; limits switching frequency suitability and reduces commutation loss in freewheeling use |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments with derating |

The GP10-4003-E3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing operation in high-ambient industrial environments. This rating is validated under standard 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length mounting conditions and supports derating curves up to that limit. Thermal design must account for RθJA = 55 °C/W to ensure safe steady-state operation. The GP10-4003-E3/73 maintains specified electrical parameters within this full temperature range.
Is GP10-4003-E3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10-4003-E3/73 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. The matte tin-plated leads meet JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance requirements and comply with J-STD-002 solderability standards. Full material declarations and compliance documentation are available through Vishay's official portal using document number 87651.
What does the "/73" suffix mean in GP10-4003-E3/73?
Within Vishay's ordering system, the "/73" suffix denotes ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units. This contrasts with "/54", which indicates 13" diameter paper tape-and-reel packaging of 5500 units. Both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications. The GP10-4003-E3/73 is functionally interchangeable with GP10-4003-E3/54 except for delivery format and quantity per unit.
How does GP10-4003-E3/73 differ from standard 1N4003 diodes?
The GP10-4003-E3/73 uses a Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass passivation, delivering lower leakage (5.0 μA vs. ~50 μA), tighter VF consistency (1.1 V), and enhanced reliability under thermal cycling. Unlike generic 1N4003 variants, GP10-4003-E3/73 is characterized for 175 °C operation and qualified to JESD 22-B106 soldering. The GP10-4003-E3/73 is not a drop-in replacement due to differing qualification scope, though pinout and footprint match DO-41.
Can GP10-4003-E3/73 be used in high-frequency switching applications?
The GP10-4003-E3/73 has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 μs and junction capacitance of 7.0 pF, making it suitable for line-frequency (50/60 Hz) and low-to-mid frequency (<100 kHz) rectification, but not recommended for high-frequency synchronous rectification (>500 kHz). Its design prioritizes reliability and low conduction loss over ultrafast switching. For GP10-4003-E3/73, optimal use cases remain AC/DC outputs, freewheeling, and clamping-not primary-side snubbing or resonant topologies.
