Product details
Overview
GP10BE-M3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 25 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.2 V at 1.0 A), low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), and fast reverse recovery (3.0 μs), making it suitable for consumer power supply freewheeling and AC/DC converter output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the GP10BE-M3/54 datasheet, GP10BE-M3/54 pinout, GP10BE-M3/54 application, or GP10BE-M3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V blocking rating, DO-41 through-hole package compatibility, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, low trr for switching efficiency, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This Superectifier®-structured diode uses cavity-free glass passivation to enhance reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its single-element configuration supports unidirectional conduction with color-band cathode polarity marking and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements via molded epoxy encapsulation.
Designed for general-purpose rectification, it operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and exhibits 55 °C/W typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance at 0.375" lead length on PCB. Reverse recovery time of 3.0 μs enables use in moderate-frequency (<100 kHz) switching applications without excessive switching loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous average forward current at 0.375" lead length, derates above 75 °C ambient |
| IFSM | 25 A - peak non-repetitive surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine, critical for inrush handling |
| VF | 1.2 V @ 1.0 A - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss and thermal load |
| trr | 3.0 μs - reverse recovery time affecting switching efficiency in DC-DC converters |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling high-temperature board placement |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in off-state |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded glass body with UL 94 V-0 rating; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side in rectifier configuration; requires proper PCB trace width for 1.0 A continuous |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Marked by color band; ties to output capacitor ground or return path in bridge/freewheeling topologies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced reliability via cavity-free glass passivation, reducing moisture ingress and junction degradation |
| Low VF (1.2 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1N400x series at 1.0 A, lowering thermal stress |
| Fast trr (3.0 μs) | Enables efficient operation in 20–100 kHz SMPS outputs where slower diodes cause excessive ringing |
| 175 °C TJ max. | Supports placement near heat-generating components (e.g., MOSFETs, transformers) without derating penalty |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets global environmental regulations with matte tin plating and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4004GP-E3/54 | Same DO-41 package; 400 V VRRM, 1.1 V VF @ 1.0 A, 30 A IFSM, 50 °C/W RθJA | Higher blocking voltage but slower trr (≈2 μs typical, not specified), no published trr value | Select when higher reverse voltage margin is needed and switching speed is secondary |
| GP10BHE3/54 | Same VRRM (100 V), same VF (1.2 V), but higher IFSM (30 A), same DO-41 package, RoHS-compliant | Identical electrical specs except surge rating; differs only in lead finish and packaging code | Preferred for designs requiring higher surge immunity without layout change |
Compared with 1N4004GP-E3/54, GP10BE-M3/54 offers verified 3.0 μs trr for cleaner switching waveforms; compared with GP10BHE3/54, it provides identical performance in a different tape-and-reel delivery format (M3/54 vs. HE3/54), with no functional or thermal difference.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10BE-M3/54?
The GP10BE-M3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed consumer power supplies or near heat-generating components. This rating is validated per Vishay's thermal characterization and supports extended lifetime under sustained 1.0 A forward current at elevated ambient temperatures when mounted with 0.375" lead length.
Is GP10BE-M3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10BE-M3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. It carries the "E3" suffix indicating compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing requirements.
What does the "M3/54" suffix mean in GP10BE-M3/54?
The "M3/54" suffix denotes packaging: "M3" indicates 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel delivery, and "54" specifies a base quantity of 5500 units per reel. This matches Vishay's standard ordering code for DO-41 devices and ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment using standard 13" reel feeders.
How does GP10BE-M3/54 differ from GP10BHE3/54?
GP10BE-M3/54 and GP10BHE3/54 share identical electrical specifications (100 V VRRM, 1.2 V VF, 25 A IFSM, 3.0 μs trr) and DO-41 package. The difference lies solely in packaging format ("M3/54" vs. "HE3/54") and lead finish designation-both are RoHS-compliant, and neither affects circuit performance or thermal behavior.
Why is GP10BE-M3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates GP10BE-M3/54 as "Not for New Designs" because newer surface-mount alternatives (e.g., SMA/SMB packages) offer improved power density and assembly efficiency. However, GP10BE-M3/54 remains fully supported for legacy through-hole designs, with active manufacturing, full datasheet documentation, and guaranteed supply for existing production programs.
