Product details
Overview
GP10-4005EHE3/73 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), 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 25 °C, and 3.0 μs typical reverse recovery time - optimized for power supply rectification and freewheeling in consumer-grade inverters and converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4005EHE3/73 datasheet, GP10-4005EHE3/73 pinout, GP10-4005EHE3/73 application, or GP10-4005EHE3/73 equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-41 mechanical form factor, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, cavity-free glass passivation, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, and JESD 22-B106 solderability rating (275 °C/10 s).
Technical Context
This device implements a single silicon PN junction with superectifier structure, enabling high reliability under thermal cycling and surge stress. Its cavity-free glass passivation eliminates moisture ingress paths at the junction edge, directly supporting long-term stability in humid environments and reducing risk of parametric drift during operation.
The GP10-4005EHE3/73 operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with fixed polarity (cathode denoted by color band). Its 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (at 0.375" lead length, PCB mounted) and 175 °C max junction temperature allow sustained conduction in compact, convection-cooled consumer power stages without forced airflow.

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 | 1000 V VRRM, 1.1 V VF, same DO-41 package but higher leakage (50 μA @ 125 °C) | Better suited for universal-input 100–240 VAC supplies requiring >600 V blocking | Select when higher reverse voltage margin is needed; avoid if low-temperature leakage is critical |
| GP10J-E3/73 | Identical specs and packaging; differs only in ordering code (no functional difference) | No application difference - same electrical and thermal behavior | Valid alternate for procurement continuity; identical performance and fit |
Compared with GP10-4005EHE3/73, the 1N4007G-E3/54 offers higher VRRM at the cost of elevated high-temp leakage, while GP10J-E3/73 is a functionally identical variant with no design impact - making it a seamless sourcing alternative.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10-4005EHE3/73?
The GP10-4005EHE3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C. This rating allows the diode to operate reliably in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed power adapters or near heat-generating components. Derating curves in the datasheet specify usable current levels at elevated ambient temperatures, and the 55 °C/W thermal resistance assumes 0.375" lead length on a PCB.
Is GP10-4005EHE3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10-4005EHE3/73 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
What does the "4005" in GP10-4005EHE3/73 indicate?
The "4005" in GP10-4005EHE3/73 denotes the voltage rating and variant: "400" specifies 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and "5" corresponds to the GP10x family's standardized coding for that voltage grade. This matches Vishay's documented mapping where GP10G = 400 V, confirming GP10-4005EHE3/73 is functionally identical to GP10G-E3 variants.
Can GP10-4005EHE3/73 replace standard 1N400x series diodes?
GP10-4005EHE3/73 can replace 1N4007 in 400 V-rated applications due to matching DO-41 package, 1.0 A IF(AV), and comparable VF. However, it offers lower leakage (5.0 μA vs. up to 50 μA for 1N4007 at 125 °C) and faster recovery (3.0 μs vs. ~30 μs), making it preferable in efficiency- or noise-sensitive designs - though not a direct drop-in for >400 V blocking needs.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of GP10-4005EHE3/73 and why does it matter?
The GP10-4005EHE3/73 has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 μs under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A. This fast recovery reduces switching losses and voltage spikes during turn-off in high-frequency converters and freewheeling circuits, improving system efficiency and EMI performance compared to general-purpose rectifiers with trr > 20 μs.
