Product details
Overview
GP10-4006-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 30 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM); it delivers 1.1 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and exhibits only 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, suited for power supply freewheeling and DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4006-E3/73 datasheet, GP10-4006-E3/73 pinout, GP10-4006-E3/73 application, or GP10-4006-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V blocking capability, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, low trr of 3.0 μs, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
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 design supports stable operation up to 175 °C and maintains low leakage (5.0 μA @ 25 °C, 50 μA @ 125 °C) across industrial temperature ranges.
The GP10-4006-E3/73 operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with fixed polarity indicated by a color band on the cathode end. It is optimized for line-frequency and high-frequency switching applications requiring fast recovery (trr = 3.0 μs) and low capacitive loading (CJ = 7.0 pF @ 4.0 V, 1 MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC/DC input voltage headroom before breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous average forward current at 0.375" lead length; sets thermal limit for PCB-mounted operation |
| IFSM | 30 A - peak surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine; enables robustness against inrush and fault transients |
| VF | 1.1 V @ 1.0 A - forward conduction loss; directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in rectifier stage |
| trr | 3.0 μs - reverse recovery time; determines switching losses and EMI in high-frequency converters |
| CJ | 7.0 pF @ 4.0 V, 1 MHz - junction capacitance; affects high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - maximum junction temperature; allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), molded epoxy over glass body; UL 94 V-0 rated; matte tin-plated leads; cathode denoted by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced junction reliability via cavity-free glass passivation, reducing failure risk under thermal stress |
| Low VF (1.1 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1 A rectifiers, lowering heatsink requirements |
| Fast trr (3.0 μs) | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), critical for >20 kHz SMPS and synchronous rectifier co-design |
| JESD 22-B106 compliant | Solder dip tolerance up to 275 °C for 10 s ensures robustness during wave or selective soldering |
| JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test | Matte tin plating prevents tin whisker growth, supporting long-term reliability in automotive and industrial control |
Applications
| AC-DC Power Supply Input Stage | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current steering element handling full-line rectified current. Use Value: 800 V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 230 VAC peak (325 V), while 30 A IFSM withstands cold-start surges. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in 12 V/5 A isolated flyback converter operating at 65 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for transformer secondary current during MOSFET off-time. Use Value: 3.0 μs trr limits switching loss and EMI generation; 1.1 V VF keeps output stage efficiency >88%. |

Use Value: 30 A IFSM handles 10× rated coil current spikes; DO-41 form factor fits compact DIN-rail PCB layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R08 | 800 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), but trr = 75 ns (much faster), VF = 1.3 V, TO-220AC package | Requires PCB layout change; better for >100 kHz designs; higher VF increases conduction loss | Choose STTH1R08 only when ultra-fast recovery is mandatory and thermal management permits higher VF |
| 1N4007G | 1000 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), trr ≈ 2 μs (unspecified), VF = 1.1 V, same DO-41 package | Higher blocking voltage but no specified trr or thermal rating beyond 125 °C; not qualified for 175 °C operation | Use 1N4007G only in cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where 175 °C rating and 3.0 μs trr are not required |
Compared with STTH1R08 and 1N4007G, GP10-4006-E3/73 uniquely balances 800 V blocking, 3.0 μs trr, 175 °C operation, and DO-41 compatibility-making it optimal for industrial power supplies where reliability under thermal stress and predictable recovery behavior are prioritized over ultra-high speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10-4006-E3/73?
The GP10-4006-E3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay's datasheet revision 26-Jan-2022. This rating enables reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm 1.0 A IF(AV) is maintained up to 75 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; GP10-4006-E3/73 must be thermally managed to stay within this limit under full load.
Is GP10-4006-E3/73 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10-4006-E3/73 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix in its part number and Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, ensuring long-term reliability in lead-free assembly processes without compromising wetting or intermetallic formation.
What does the "/73" suffix mean in GP10-4006-E3/73?
The "/73" suffix in GP10-4006-E3/73 indicates ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units, per Vishay's ordering information table. This differs from "/54", which denotes 5500 units on 13" paper tape and reel. GP10-4006-E3/73 is intended for manual or semi-automated placement where reel feeding is impractical, and the packaging preserves lead coplanarity and solderability integrity prior to use.
How does GP10-4006-E3/73 compare to GP10-4007 in terms of reverse voltage rating?
GP10-4006-E3/73 is rated for 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), whereas GP10-4007 is rated for 1000 V. Both share identical IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF = 1.1 V, trr = 3.0 μs, and DO-41 packaging. Select GP10-4006-E3/73 when 800 V blocking suffices-e.g., 230 VAC-derived 340 VDC buses-with potential cost and inventory simplification versus the higher-rated GP10-4007.
Can GP10-4006-E3/73 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, GP10-4006-E3/73 uses the through-hole DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with axial leads and is not designed for surface-mount assembly. Its mechanical outline specifies lead diameter and bend dimensions for PCB insertion and wave soldering. For SMT equivalents, consider Vishay's VS-1N400x-M3 series or other DO-214AA (SMA) rectifiers-but note that those differ in VRRM, VF, and trr, requiring full requalification.
