Product details
Overview
GP10BHM3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 100 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward rectified current (IF(AV)), and 25 A peak forward surge current (IFSM). It delivers low forward voltage drop (1.2 V at 1.0 A), low leakage current (5.0 μA at 25 °C), and fast reverse recovery time (3.0 μs), making it suitable for general-purpose power supply rectification and freewheeling in consumer-grade inverters and converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10BHM3/54 datasheet, GP10BHM3/54 pinout, GP10BHM3/54 application, or GP10BHM3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM rating, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, 175 °C max junction temperature, Superectifier® reliability architecture, and tape-and-reel packaging (54 code = 13" paper tape, 5500 pcs).
Technical Context
This device implements a single silicon PN junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and high resistance to moisture-induced degradation. Its Superectifier® structure eliminates internal voids at the junction interface, directly supporting long-term reliability in thermally stressed consumer power stages.
Electrical behavior is defined by low VF (1.2 V @ 1.0 A), tight IR control (≤5.0 μA @ 25 °C), and fast trr (3.0 μs under IF = 0.5 A / IR = 1.0 A conditions), enabling efficient switching in 50/60 Hz and moderate-frequency DC-DC freewheeling paths without snubber dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - blocks up to 100 V reverse voltage in AC line rectification or flyback clamp circuits |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - supports continuous DC output currents up to 1 A with 0.375" lead length on PCB |
| IFSM | 25 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge transients common in transformer-coupled power supplies |
| VF | 1.2 V @ 1.0 A - reduces conduction loss and thermal load in low-voltage secondary-side rectifiers |
| trr | 3.0 μs - limits switching losses and EMI in freewheeling applications below ~100 kHz |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - enables operation in enclosed consumer enclosures without active cooling |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, molded epoxy over glass body; UL 94 V-0 rated; 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 transformer secondary or switch node in freewheeling path |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Routes rectified DC to filter capacitor or load; blocks reverse voltage during off-cycle |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Eliminates cavity formation at glass-passivated junction, improving long-term moisture resistance and thermal cycling reliability |
| Low VF (1.2 V) | Reduces power dissipation by ~15% vs. standard 1N400x diodes at 1 A, lowering heatsink requirements |
| Fast trr (3.0 μs) | Enables clean commutation in flyback and forward converter freewheeling without oscillation or voltage overshoot |
| 175 °C TJ max. | Supports operation in sealed consumer enclosures where ambient exceeds 85 °C without derating |
| DO-41 mechanical standardization | Ensures direct replacement in legacy 1N400x footprints with identical lead spacing and bend radius |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down AC/DC adapters for audio equipment and small appliances operating from 100–240 VAC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary secondary-side rectifier converting transformer output to unregulated DC. Use Value: 1.2 V VF minimizes heat generation in compact enclosures; 100 V VRRM safely handles reflected spikes from 12 V or 24 V outputs. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in non-isolated buck converters powering LED drivers or motor controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during high-side switch off-time. Use Value: 3.0 μs trr prevents reverse recovery ringing that could disrupt PWM timing or induce EMI in adjacent analog circuitry. |
| Inverter Output Stage Protection | Consumer Appliance Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection and back-EMF clamping in low-power BLDC fan inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps inductive kickback across motor windings during MOSFET turn-off. Use Value: 25 A IFSM absorbs short-duration energy surges without failure; 175 °C TJ max allows mounting near hot MOSFETs. | Use Scenario: Main rectifier in universal-input SMPS for TVs, set-top boxes, and gaming peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts bridge rectified AC to bulk DC bus prior to PFC or primary switching stage. Use Value: Glass-passivated junction ensures stable IR < 5 μA over 10-year field life, preventing capacitor discharge drift in standby mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4002GP-E3/54 | Same DO-41 package; 100 V VRRM; higher VF (1.1 V min, typically 1.3 V); slower trr (~4–5 μs) | Suitable for low-frequency linear supplies but less optimal in switching freewheeling due to higher loss and longer recovery | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency or EMI targets |
| GP10B-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs and package; differs only in packaging suffix - HM3/54 denotes specific reel configuration (13" tape, 5500 pcs), while E3/54 is base commercial variant | No functional difference; both meet same Vishay GP10B specification sheet 88637 | Choose GP10BHM3/54 for traceable production lots requiring documented tape-and-reel delivery mode |
Compared with 1N4002GP-E3/54, GP10BHM3/54 offers lower VF and faster trr for improved efficiency and EMI performance; compared with GP10B-E3/54, it provides identical electrical behavior with verified reel packaging compliance for automated SMT assembly lines.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10BHM3/54?
The GP10BHM3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay specification sheet 88637. This rating allows reliable operation in thermally constrained consumer enclosures and near heat-generating components such as transformers or MOSFETs. Derating curves in the GP10x datasheet define safe IF(AV) limits above 75 °C ambient, and the device maintains specified IR and VF performance up to this limit.
Is GP10BHM3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10BHM3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix in the full part number confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and material categorization per Vishay document 99912. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability standards, and the molding compound satisfies UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. No lead or other restricted substances exceed threshold limits.
What does the "HM3/54" suffix mean in GP10BHM3/54?
The "HM3/54" suffix identifies a specific packaging configuration: "HM3" denotes Vishay's internal reel handling code for 13-inch diameter paper tape, and "54" specifies a base quantity of 5500 pieces per reel. This matches the ordering information table in datasheet 88637. GP10BHM3/54 is functionally identical to GP10B-E3/54 but carries traceable reel-level documentation required for high-volume SMT production.
Can GP10BHM3/54 replace 1N4002 in existing designs?
Yes, GP10BHM3/54 is a direct mechanical and electrical replacement for 1N4002 in DO-41 footprints. Both share 100 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), and identical package dimensions. GP10BHM3/54 improves upon 1N4002 with lower typical VF (1.2 V vs. 1.3 V), faster trr (3.0 μs vs. ≥4 μs), and cavity-free glass passivation for enhanced long-term reliability-no PCB changes required.
Why is GP10BHM3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
GP10BHM3/54 is marked "Not for New Designs" per Vishay document 88637 revision 26-Jan-2022, indicating Vishay recommends newer alternatives (e.g., VS-GBPC series or automotive-qualified GP10x variants) for future projects. However, GP10BHM3/54 remains fully supported for existing production, with no announced obsolescence, and continues to be manufactured and distributed by authorized channels including Aetrix Electronics.
