Product details
Overview
GP10-4003EHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 400 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), suited for power supply rectification in consumer-grade inverters and converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4003EHE3/73 datasheet, GP10-4003EHE3/73 pinout, GP10-4003EHE3/73 application, or GP10-4003EHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF = 1.1 V, trr = 3.0 μs, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the GP10x Superectifier® family - a single-junction, axial-leaded silicon rectifier optimized for reliability in general-purpose AC/DC conversion. Its cavity-free glass-passivated junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
The GP10-4003EHE3/73 operates across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, supports soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s (JESD 22-B106), and exhibits 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with 0.375" lead length on PCB - enabling robust thermal management in compact power stages.
Key Specifications

Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Rectification | Inverter Output Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Full-wave bridge rectification in offline 5–24 V consumer power supplies with transformer-coupled inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary unidirectional current switch converting AC line to pulsating DC before filtering. Use Value: 1.0 A IF(AV) and 400 V VRRM support universal input (90–264 VAC) designs with margin; low VF improves light-load efficiency. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in single-phase motor drive inverters for small appliances (e.g., blenders, fans). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during IGBT/MOSFET off-time to suppress voltage spikes. Use Value: 30 A IFSM handles motor inductive kickback; 3.0 μs trr limits switching noise and gate driver stress. |
| DC-DC Converter Input Stage | Industrial Control Power Input |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in isolated 12 V/24 V DC-DC modules fed from 48 VDC bus or AC adapter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end protection and polarity enforcement before primary-side regulation. Use Value: 5.0 μA IR at 25 °C prevents standby current drain; DO-41 footprint allows manual repair and legacy board reuse. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary power supply input in PLC I/O modules operating in industrial cabinets (Tamb up to 70 °C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust AC line interface component handling brownouts and surges per IEC 61000-4-5. Use Value: +175 °C TJ max. and 55 °C/W RθJA ensure stable operation without forced air; RoHS-compliant E3 suffix meets regional compliance mandates. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007G-E3/54 | VRRM = 1000 V, VF = 1.1 V @ 1.0 A, trr ≈ 30 μs, same DO-41 package | Higher blocking voltage but slower recovery; less suitable for high-frequency freewheeling | Select when higher reverse margin is required and switching frequency < 1 kHz |
| GP10J-E3/73 | Identical specifications and packaging; GP10-4003EHE3/73 is the variant-coded designation for GP10J with E3 plating and 73 ammo pack | No functional difference; same electrical and mechanical behavior | Direct form-fit-function match; interchangeable in BOM and layout |
Compared with 1N4007G-E3/54 and GP10J-E3/73, the GP10-4003EHE3/73 offers optimized balance of 400 V blocking, 3.0 μs trr, and thermal robustness - making it preferable over standard 1N400x for moderate-speed freewheeling, while GP10J-E3/73 is its exact functional twin with identical ordering semantics.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of GP10-4003EHE3/73?
The GP10-4003EHE3/73 has a VRRM rating of 400 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 400 V of reverse voltage in repetitive AC or pulsating DC applications without breakdown. This value is confirmed in the Vishay GP10x datasheet (Document Number: 88637), Figure 5 and Maximum Ratings table, and aligns with the "G" suffix in the GP10x family nomenclature.
Is GP10-4003EHE3/73 suitable for use in high-frequency switching circuits?
The GP10-4003EHE3/73 features a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 μs, making it appropriate for line-frequency (50/60 Hz) and moderate-frequency applications such as flyback converter freewheeling up to ~20 kHz. It is not recommended for >50 kHz hard-switched topologies where ultrafast or Schottky diodes would be preferred due to lower stored charge.
What does the "E3/73" suffix mean in GP10-4003EHE3/73?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test; "73" specifies ammo pack packaging with 3000 units per pack. The "GP10-4003" portion identifies the 400 V variant (G = 400 V) in the GP10x family, confirming the GP10-4003EHE3/73 is functionally identical to GP10J-E3/73 per Vishay's ordering documentation.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of GP10-4003EHE3/73, and how is it measured?
The GP10-4003EHE3/73 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 55 °C/W, measured with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length on a printed circuit board per JESD 51-3. This value assumes no copper pour or heatsinking - adding thermal relief pads or extended traces reduces effective RθJA and improves power handling.
Does GP10-4003EHE3/73 have automotive qualification or AEC-Q101 certification?
No, GP10-4003EHE3/73 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for commercial and industrial use with an operating junction temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, but Vishay designates it as "Not for New Designs" and positions it for consumer and general-purpose power applications - not automotive safety-critical systems.
