Product details
Overview
GP10-4004EHE3/73 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), making it suitable for general-purpose AC/DC power supply rectification in consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4004EHE3/73 datasheet, GP10-4004EHE3/73 pinout, GP10-4004EHE3/73 application, or GP10-4004EHE3/73 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 implements a single-diode Superectifier® structure with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling high reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its junction operates up to 175 °C and exhibits low thermal resistance (RθJA = 55 °C/W) when mounted with 0.375" lead length on PCB.
The GP10-4004EHE3/73 supports fast-switching operation via 3.0 μs typical reverse recovery time and 8.0 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V / 1 MHz - critical for minimizing switching losses in offline converters and freewheeling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC input voltage range in bridge or half-wave rectifiers |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 0.375" lead length; sets power handling limit in linear and switching supplies |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak surge withstand for 8.3 ms half-sine; ensures robustness against line transients and inrush currents |
| VF | 1.1 V at 1.0 A - forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal design in rectifier stages |
| trr | 3.0 μs - reverse recovery time determines switching speed and EMI generation in high-frequency converters |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - maximum junction temperature enables operation in compact, thermally constrained enclosures |
| IR | 5.0 μA at 25 °C - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up and standby circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded with glass body; RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connects to AC source or transformer secondary in half-wave rectification; polarity must match schematic symbol |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to load or filter capacitor; marked by color band; reverse-biased during off-state blocking |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced reliability via cavity-free glass passivation - eliminates moisture ingress paths and improves long-term stability under thermal stress |
| Low VF (1.1 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1N400x series at 1 A - lowers heatsink requirements in 5–12 V output supplies |
| Fast trr (3.0 μs) | Enables use in higher-frequency SMPS designs (up to ~100 kHz) where slower diodes cause excessive switching loss and noise |
| DO-41 mechanical standard | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 1N400x and similar axial diodes - no PCB redesign needed for retrofit or repair |
| Junction temp rating (175 °C) | Supports operation in sealed consumer enclosures with ambient temps up to 85 °C without derating penalties |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Adapters | DC Motor Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz AC mains or transformer secondary output in wall-wart adapters for consumer devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-phase half-wave or full-bridge rectifier diode providing unidirectional current flow to bulk capacitor. Use Value: Low VF (1.1 V) minimizes heat generation in space-constrained adapters; DO-41 form factor fits standard through-hole footprints. | Use Scenario: Suppressing inductive kickback in brushed DC motors used in toys, appliances, and small actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode clamping back-EMF spikes across motor windings during PWM turn-off. Use Value: 30 A IFSM rating handles high-energy transients; 3.0 μs trr reduces voltage overshoot and EMI compared to slower 1N4007. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage diode converting AC line to pulsating DC before constant-current regulation. Use Value: Low IR (5.0 μA) prevents capacitor discharge during zero-crossing intervals; RoHS-compliant E3 finish meets end-product compliance requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4004G | VRRM = 400 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF ≈ 1.1 V, trr ≈ 30 μs - significantly slower recovery | Not suitable for high-frequency switching; acceptable only in 50/60 Hz linear supplies | Choose GP10-4004EHE3/73 when trr < 5 μs is required; select 1N4004G only for cost-sensitive, low-frequency legacy designs |
| GP10G-E3/73 | Identical specifications and packaging - same device, alternate ordering code (no functional difference) | No application difference; identical use cases and performance | GP10-4004EHE3/73 and GP10G-E3/73 are functionally identical; GP10G-E3/73 is the preferred base part number per Vishay ordering documentation |
Compared with 1N4004G and GP10G-E3/73, the GP10-4004EHE3/73 offers identical voltage/current ratings but delivers 10× faster reverse recovery than legacy 1N4004G - enabling cleaner waveforms and lower EMI in modern switch-mode topologies - while GP10G-E3/73 represents the same silicon in standardized Vishay nomenclature.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10-4004EHE3/73?
The GP10-4004EHE3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power adapters or proximity to power MOSFETs. This rating is validated per Vishay's thermal characterization and supports derated operation up to 85 °C ambient with standard PCB mounting.
Is GP10-4004EHE3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10-4004EHE3/73 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, and its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards. Whisker resistance is certified to JESD 201 Class 1A.
What does the "/73" suffix indicate in GP10-4004EHE3/73?
The "/73" suffix in GP10-4004EHE3/73 denotes ammo pack packaging: 3000 units per pack. This differs from "/54", which indicates 13-inch paper tape and reel (5500 units). Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications - only packaging format varies.
Can GP10-4004EHE3/73 replace 1N4004 in existing designs?
Yes, GP10-4004EHE3/73 is mechanically and electrically compatible with 1N4004 - same DO-41 package, 400 V VRRM, and 1.0 A IF(AV). However, GP10-4004EHE3/73 offers faster trr (3.0 μs vs. ~30 μs), lower leakage, and improved thermal capability - providing measurable benefits in noise-sensitive or thermally constrained applications.
Why is GP10-4004EHE3/73 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates GP10-4004EHE3/73 as "Not for New Designs" because newer platforms (e.g., ultrafast or Schottky alternatives) offer superior efficiency or integration. However, GP10-4004EHE3/73 remains fully supported for legacy design refreshes, repairs, and production continuity - with no announced obsolescence date.
