Product details
Overview
GP10-4007E-E3/73 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 general-purpose AC/DC rectification in consumer power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GP10-4007E-E3/73 datasheet, GP10-4007E-E3/73 pinout, GP10-4007E-E3/73 application, or GP10-4007E-E3/73 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 silicon PN junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling high reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its Superectifier® structure minimizes forward voltage while maintaining low leakage and robust surge capability.
Designed for line-frequency (50/60 Hz) and moderate-speed switching applications, it operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and exhibits typical junction capacitance of 7.0 pF at 4.0 V / 1 MHz - optimized for low-noise rectification without requiring snubbers in basic power supply designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports rectification in 230 VAC input circuits with ≥2× safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability with 0.375" lead length on PCB |
| VF | 1.1 V @ 1.0 A - reduces conduction loss and thermal load in compact power stages |
| trr | 3.0 μs - enables use in 20 kHz–50 kHz flyback and forward converters without excessive switching loss |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss in offline adapters |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - defines thermal derating slope for ambient temperatures above 50 °C |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded body with UL 94 V-0 rating; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connects to AC source or transformer secondary; must withstand IFSM = 30 A surge |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit point | Connects to filter capacitor or load; polarity critical for correct rectification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Combines low VF and low IR via optimized doping and junction geometry - improves efficiency vs. standard rectifiers |
| Cavity-free glass passivation | Eliminates moisture ingress paths at junction edge - extends lifetime in humid or thermally cycled environments |
| Solder dip tolerance | 275 °C for 10 s per JESD 22-B106 - supports wave soldering without parametric shift or delamination |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test - ensures long-term reliability in lead-free assembly processes |
Applications
| AC/DC Wall Adapters | LED Driver Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz AC mains into DC for low-power USB chargers and IoT device adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side uncontrolled rectifier converting transformer output to pulsating DC. Use Value: 1.1 V VF minimizes heat generation in space-constrained plastic housings; DO-41 footprint simplifies manual or automated through-hole assembly. | Use Scenario: Converting AC input to DC before constant-current regulation in non-isolated LED drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input bridge or half-wave rectifier feeding bulk capacitor and buck controller. Use Value: 400 V VRRM provides margin for 230 VAC + line surges; 3.0 μs trr avoids excessive ringing with low-cost electrolytic capacitors. |
| Industrial Control Power Supplies | Appliance Motor Freewheeling |
Use Scenario: Providing auxiliary 12 V or 24 V rail for PLC I/O modules and sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier in isolated flyback or forward converter. Use Value: 175 °C TJ max. enables reliable operation near heat-generating logic ICs; 55 °C/W RθJA supports natural convection cooling. | Use Scenario: Suppressing inductive kickback across brushed DC motor windings in white goods. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode clamping back-EMF during PWM commutation. Use Value: 30 A IFSM handles brief stall currents; low VF reduces power dissipation during extended freewheeling periods. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007G | VRRM = 1000 V; VF = 1.1 V; trr ≈ 30 μs; same DO-41 package | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery - less suitable for higher-frequency switching | Select when >600 V blocking is required and trr < 5 μs is not critical |
| GP10J-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging (tape-and-reel vs. ammo pack) | No functional difference - identical performance and mounting | Choose based on production volume and SMT line compatibility requirements |
Compared with 1N4007G and GP10J-E3/54, GP10-4007E-E3/73 offers optimized 400 V/3.0 μs balance for cost-sensitive 230 VAC-input power supplies where fast recovery reduces EMI and improves light-load efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for GP10-4007E-E3/73?
The GP10-4007E-E3/73 has a VRRM rating of 400 V, confirmed in the Vishay GP10x datasheet (Document Number 88637, Figure 5). This value is specific to the "G" variant in the GP10x family and ensures safe operation with 230 VAC inputs including transient overvoltages. Exceeding this voltage risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage to the GP10-4007E-E3/73.
Is GP10-4007E-E3/73 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, GP10-4007E-E3/73 uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded package and is designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. Its lead form and mechanical dimensions do not comply with any standard SMT footprint. For surface-mount alternatives, engineers should evaluate Vishay's VS-GBPC series or other SMD-rectifier families - GP10-4007E-E3/73 itself requires hole drilling and wave or hand soldering.
What does the "E3/73" suffix indicate in GP10-4007E-E3/73?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while "/73" specifies ammo pack packaging containing 3000 units. This suffix does not affect electrical parameters - GP10-4007E-E3/73 shares identical VRRM, IF(AV), VF, and trr with GP10J-E3/54, differing only in delivery format and quantity per unit.
Does GP10-4007E-E3/73 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
Yes, GP10-4007E-E3/73 has a typical reverse recovery time of 3.0 μs, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A (Vishay GP10x datasheet, page 2, Electrical Characteristics table). This value is significantly faster than legacy 1N400x devices and supports use in higher-frequency switch-mode topologies where slower diodes would increase losses and EMI.
Why is GP10-4007E-E3/73 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates GP10-4007E-E3/73 as "Not for New Designs" (per datasheet revision 26-Jan-2022) to signal planned obsolescence - indicating future discontinuation and recommending migration to newer platforms like the VS-GP10x series or automotive-qualified alternatives. Existing designs may continue using GP10-4007E-E3/73, but new projects should evaluate Vishay's current-generation rectifiers for long-term supply assurance.
