Product details
Overview
GP10D-M3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 200 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), 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 25 °C, and 3.0 μs typical reverse recovery time - suited for AC/DC power supply rectification in consumer-grade inverters and converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10D-M3/73 datasheet, GP10D-M3/73 pinout, GP10D-M3/73 application, or GP10D-M3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V blocking rating, DO-41 through-hole package compatibility, thermal performance up to 175 °C junction temperature, and suitability as a general-purpose Superectifier® replacement in cost-sensitive, medium-power rectification circuits.
Technical Context
This device implements a single silicon p-n junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling high reliability and stable operation under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its Superectifier® structure minimizes reverse recovery charge and improves switching efficiency compared to standard rectifiers.
Designed for linear and switched-mode power supplies, it operates across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and supports soldering per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C, 10 s). The DO-41 package provides mechanical robustness and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance via molded epoxy encapsulation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007GP-E3/54 | 1000 V VRRM, same DO-41 package, 1.1 V VF, but slower trr (≈30 μs) and higher IR (50 μA @ 125 °C) | Better for high-voltage, low-frequency (<1 kHz) applications; unsuitable where fast recovery is required | Select when higher blocking voltage is needed and switching speed is not critical |
| GP10G-M3/73 | 400 V VRRM, identical construction and thermal specs, same 3.0 μs trr and 1.2 V VF | Direct upgrade path for designs requiring higher reverse voltage margin without layout change | Choose when system input voltage may exceed 200 V or transient protection margin must be increased |
Compared with GP10D-M3/73, the 1N4007GP-E3/54 trades speed and leakage for higher voltage rating, while GP10G-M3/73 maintains identical dynamic behavior but doubles reverse blocking capability - both require no PCB changes but differ in voltage derating strategy and EMI profile.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10D-M3/73?
The GP10D-M3/73 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing reliable operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power adapters or proximity to heat-generating components. This rating is validated per Vishay's thermal characterization and supports derating curves up to 100 °C ambient with appropriate PCB copper area. GP10D-M3/73 must be mounted with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length for full thermal specification compliance.
Is GP10D-M3/73 suitable for use in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies?
Yes, GP10D-M3/73 is suitable for switch-mode power supplies operating up to approximately 100 kHz due to its 3.0 μs typical reverse recovery time (trr) and low stored charge. Its Superectifier® structure reduces switching losses compared to standard 1N400x diodes. However, for >200 kHz designs or synchronous rectification, Schottky or ultrafast diodes are recommended. GP10D-M3/73 remains optimal for cost-sensitive 20–100 kHz flyback and forward converters.
What does the "M3/73" suffix indicate in GP10D-M3/73?
The "M3" denotes Vishay's standard commercial-grade tape-and-reel packaging variant, while "/73" specifies ammo pack packaging with 3000 units per pack. This differs from "/54", which indicates 13" diameter paper tape and reel (5500 units). Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications. GP10D-M3/73 is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix implied), with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards.
How does GP10D-M3/73 compare to standard 1N400x diodes in terms of reliability?
GP10D-M3/73 uses cavity-free glass passivation instead of silicone gel or epoxy-only encapsulation, eliminating moisture traps that cause early-life failures in humid conditions. It also meets JESD 22-B106 solder dip (275 °C, 10 s) and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Unlike generic 1N400x parts, GP10D-M3/73 is characterized for 175 °C operation and exhibits lower IR and faster trr - making it more reliable in thermally cycled, high-humidity, or high-surge applications.
Is GP10D-M3/73 recommended for new designs?
No - Vishay explicitly marks GP10D-M3/73 as "Not for New Designs" in its official documentation (Revision: 26-Jan-2022, Doc. #88637). It remains available for legacy support and existing production, but designers should evaluate modern alternatives like Vishay's VS-GBPC or eSMP® series for new projects requiring improved efficiency, smaller footprint, or extended lifecycle. GP10D-M3/73 continues to ship with full traceability and quality assurance for ongoing builds.
