Product details

Overview

GP10BEHM3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (V_RRM), 1.0 A average forward current (I_F(AV)), and 25 A non-repetitive surge current (I_FSM). It features low forward voltage drop (1.2 V at 1.0 A), 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 25 °C, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - used as a freewheeling or output rectifier in AC/DC adapters and DC-DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the GP10BEHM3/73 datasheet, GP10BEHM3/73 pinout, GP10BEHM3/73 application, or GP10BEHM3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V blocking rating, DO-41 through-hole package compatibility, 1.2 V forward voltage at rated current, 3.0 μs reverse recovery time, and suitability for commercial-grade power supply rectification where reliability and thermal robustness are required.

Technical Context

This device implements a single silicon PN junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling stable performance under thermal cycling and humidity exposure. Its Superectifier® structure delivers enhanced surge immunity and reduced leakage versus standard plastic rectifiers.

The GP10BEHM3/73 is optimized for 50/60 Hz and high-frequency switching applications up to several hundred kHz, supported by a typical junction capacitance of 7.0 pF at 4.0 V and 1 MHz, and a thermal resistance of 55 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB-mounted, 0.375" lead length).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	100 V - blocks up to 100 V reverse voltage without breakdown; matches GP10B variant designation
I_F(AV)	1.0 A - continuous DC forward current capability with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length on PCB
V_F	1.2 V @ 1.0 A - low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage output stages
I_FSM	25 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush and transient surges common in transformer-coupled supplies
I_R	5.0 μA @ 25 °C - minimal leakage preserves standby power integrity in off-state conditions
t_rr	3.0 μs - fast recovery enables use in higher-frequency rectification without excessive switching loss
T_J max.	175 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports operation in compact, thermally constrained enclosures

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
1N4007-E3/54	1000 V V_RRM, 1.1 V V_F @ 1 A, 30 A I_FSM, slower t_rr (~2 μs but not specified), no glass passivation	Higher voltage margin but larger V_F spread and lower thermal robustness; suited for general-purpose, non-critical 100 V designs	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability and thermal performance needs
GP10BHE3/73	Identical electrical specs and package; differs only in packaging format (ammo pack vs. tape-and-reel) and traceability marking	No functional difference; both meet same Vishay GP10B specification and qualification standards	Choose based on assembly method - GP10BHE3/73 is direct form-factor match with identical performance

Compared with 1N4007-E3/54 and GP10BHE3/73, the GP10BEHM3/73 offers superior thermal resilience (175 °C vs. 150 °C), verified glass passivation for humidity resistance, and tighter V_F consistency - making it preferable for industrial and long-lifecycle designs despite shared DO-41 footprint.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10BEHM3/73?

The GP10BEHM3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of +175 °C, enabling operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power adapters or proximity to heat-generating components. This rating exceeds standard 150 °C rectifiers and is validated per Vishay's qualification testing for the GP10x family. The GP10BEHM3/73 maintains stable electrical parameters up to this limit when mounted with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length on PCB.

Is GP10BEHM3/73 suitable for high-frequency switching applications?

Yes, the GP10BEHM3/73 supports high-frequency rectification with a typical reverse recovery time (t_rr) of 3.0 μs and junction capacitance of 7.0 pF at 4.0 V, 1 MHz. These characteristics allow efficient use in flyback and forward converters operating up to ~500 kHz. The GP10BEHM3/73 is not a Schottky diode but delivers faster recovery than legacy 1N400x series, making it appropriate for moderate-speed SMPS designs where cost and ruggedness are prioritized.

What does the "M3/73" suffix indicate in GP10BEHM3/73?

The "M3/73" suffix denotes Vishay's internal packaging and reel configuration: "M3" refers to the specific tape-and-reel or ammo-pack variant coding, and "73" indicates 3000-unit ammo pack packaging per ANSI/EIA-481 standard. This matches the ordering information shown in Document 88637. The GP10BEHM3/73 shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with GP10BHE3/73 - differing only in packaging format and traceability markings.

Does GP10BEHM3/73 have RoHS compliance and UL recognition?

Yes, GP10BEHM3/73 is RoHS-compliant (per Vishay's "E3" suffix definition) and uses UL 94 V-0 rated epoxy molding compound. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and it passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. The GP10BEHM3/73 is certified for commercial-grade applications and carries Vishay's material categorization for environmental compliance as defined in document 99912.

Why is GP10BEHM3/73 marked "Not for New Designs"?

Vishay designates GP10BEHM3/73 as "Not for New Designs" due to strategic portfolio rationalization - newer alternatives like the VS-GBPC series or surface-mount GP10x variants offer improved density or automation compatibility. However, GP10BEHM3/73 remains fully qualified, in active production, and supported for existing designs and legacy BOMs. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and supply continuity for GP10BEHM3/73 to serve ongoing manufacturing and repair needs.
