Product details
Overview
GP10GE-E3/91 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 (VF = 1.2 V at 1.0 A), low leakage (IR = 5.0 μA at 25 °C), and fast recovery (trr = 3.0 μs), serving as a freewheeling or output rectifier in AC/DC adapters and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP10GE-E3/91 datasheet, GP10GE-E3/91 pinout, GP10GE-E3/91 application, or GP10GE-E3/91 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRRM rating, DO-41 through-hole package compatibility, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and Superectifier® structure enabling high reliability in consumer power supplies.
Technical Context
This device is a single silicon PN junction rectifier with cavity-free glass passivation, optimized for general-purpose switching and freewheeling functions in line-frequency and low-frequency SMPS topologies. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 55 °C/W) assumes 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length on PCB mounting, and it meets JESD 22-B106 solderability (275 °C, 10 s).
The GP10GE-E3/91 belongs to the GP10x family where suffix 'E' denotes matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and 'E3' confirms RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the glass body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - blocks up to 100 V reverse voltage without breakdown, suitable for 24–48 V input rectification stages |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous forward current capability at 0.375" lead length, derates above 75 °C ambient |
| IFSM | 25 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge, supporting inrush current handling in offline supplies |
| VF | 1.2 V @ 1.0 A - reduces conduction loss and heat generation compared to standard 1N400x series |
| trr | 3.0 μs - enables use in low-frequency (<100 kHz) switching applications without excessive switching loss |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - supports operation in thermally constrained consumer enclosures with limited airflow |
| 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; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or filter capacitor positive; polarity marking prevents reverse installation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced junction reliability and reduced parameter drift under thermal cycling vs. conventional plastic diodes |
| Cavity-free glass passivation | Eliminates moisture ingress paths at junction edge, improving long-term stability in humid environments |
| Low VF (1.2 V) | Reduces power dissipation by ~15% versus 1N4007 (1.4 V) at 1 A, lowering heatsink requirements |
| JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance | Prevents tin whisker growth under temperature/humidity stress, critical for automotive-adjacent consumer modules |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets global environmental regulations without lead or brominated flame retardants in molding compound |
Applications
| AC/DC Wall Adapters | DC-DC Converter Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60 Hz transformer output in compact 5–24 V wall adapters for IoT sensors and smart home devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier converting AC to pulsating DC prior to bulk capacitance filtering. Use Value: Low VF minimizes thermal rise in sealed plastic housings; DO-41 leads enable automated axial insertion and wave soldering. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for flyback or forward converter secondary-side synchronous rectification circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path during MOSFET off-time, recovering stored inductive energy. Use Value: 3.0 μs trr avoids cross-conduction losses with typical 50–100 kHz switching frequencies; 175 °C TJ max supports high-density board layouts. |
| Inverter Auxiliary Power Supply | Industrial Control Module Input Protection |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side rectifier feeding linear regulator or buck converter for control logic rails. Use Value: 100 V VRRM safely handles reflected spikes from transformer leakage inductance; glass passivation ensures field longevity. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and back-EMF protection on 24 V DC input terminals of PLC I/O modules and HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input protection diode clamping negative transients and blocking reverse connection. Use Value: 25 A IFSM absorbs inductive kickback from solenoid or relay coils; cathode band enables unambiguous manual assembly verification. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007G-E3/54 | VRRM = 1000 V, VF = 1.1 V @ 1 A, trr > 2 μs (not specified), RθJA ≈ 65 °C/W | Higher voltage margin but larger VF mismatch in low-VRRM designs; less optimized for thermal performance | Select only if system requires >100 V blocking headroom or legacy 1N400x footprint compatibility |
| GP10G-E3/54 | VRRM = 400 V, identical VF (1.2 V), trr (3.0 μs), package, and thermal specs | Same construction and reliability, but higher voltage rating increases cost and may reduce efficiency in 100 V systems | Choose GP10GE-E3/91 when exact 100 V rating is required to minimize leakage and optimize conduction loss |
Compared with 1N4007G-E3/54 and GP10G-E3/54, the GP10GE-E3/91 offers optimal balance of 100 V VRRM headroom, low VF, and proven Superectifier® reliability-making it preferable for cost- and thermally sensitive 24–48 V consumer power stages where over-spec'ing voltage rating adds unnecessary cost and leakage.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10GE-E3/91?
The GP10GE-E3/91 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay's thermal characterization in Document Number 88637. This allows reliable operation in enclosed consumer electronics with limited airflow, provided the thermal design accounts for RθJA = 55 °C/W at 0.375" lead length. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable current down to 75 °C ambient at full 1.0 A rating.
Is GP10GE-E3/91 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP10GE-E3/91 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E3" suffix explicitly indicates compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Lead finish is matte tin, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.
What does the 'E' in GP10GE-E3/91 signify?
The 'E' in GP10GE-E3/91 denotes the lead finish: matte tin plating on copper leads, qualified for solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It is distinct from the 'E3' suffix, which covers RoHS compliance and whisker testing. The base part GP10G defines 400 V VRRM; the 'E' does not alter voltage rating-it specifies metallization and plating.
Can GP10GE-E3/91 replace 1N4001 in existing designs?
GP10GE-E3/91 is not a direct replacement for 1N4001 due to differing VRRM ratings: GP10GE-E3/91 is rated at 100 V (matching 1N4001), but features superior glass passivation, lower IR (5.0 μA vs. typical 50 μA), and tighter VF distribution. Mechanical DO-41 compatibility exists, but layout review is recommended to verify thermal relief and creepage for enhanced reliability.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of GP10GE-E3/91 and how is it measured?
The GP10GE-E3/91 has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 μs, measured under conditions IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, and Irr = 0.25 A per Vishay Document 88637. This value reflects its suitability for line-frequency and low-frequency switching applications (≤100 kHz); it is not characterized for high-speed SMPS use where ultrafast diodes (trr < 50 ns) are required.
