Product details
Overview
GP10KHM3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 800 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), suited for AC/DC power supply rectification in consumer inverters and freewheeling applications.
For engineers reviewing the GP10KHM3/54 datasheet, GP10KHM3/54 pinout, GP10KHM3/54 application, or GP10KHM3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 800 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF = 1.2 V @ 1.0 A, trr = 3.0 μs, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.
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 reliability in thermally stressed environments. Its Superectifier® structure minimizes leakage and enhances surge robustness without requiring external snubbers in moderate-frequency switching.
The GP10KHM3/54 operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with fixed polarity (cathode denoted by color band), optimized for 50/60 Hz and low-kHz freewheeling use-its 3.0 μs trr and 8.0 pF junction capacitance support efficient commutation in flyback and buck-derived topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 800 V - blocks up to 800 V reverse voltage without breakdown; matches 600 V AC input bridge midpoints. |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 0.375" lead length, derates linearly above 75 °C ambient. |
| VF | 1.2 V @ 1.0 A - low conduction loss improves efficiency in low-voltage secondary-side rectification. |
| IFSM | 25 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands inrush surges common in capacitor-input filter stages. |
| trr | 3.0 μs - enables reliable operation in 20–50 kHz switch-mode supplies without excessive switching loss. |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - minimal leakage preserves hold-up time in standby and light-load conditions. |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - supports high-temperature enclosure designs without thermal derating penalties. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded with glass-passivated junction; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connects to AC source or switching node; must handle full IF(AV) and IFSM stress. |

| Fast trr (3.0 μs) | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr), reducing EMI and body-diode losses in synchronous rectifier contexts. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Meets flammability safety standards for enclosed consumer power supplies and industrial enclosures. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Rectification | Inverter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting 120/230 VAC mains to low-voltage DC in wall-wart adapters for audio equipment and IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side bridge rectifier output stage, conducting during positive half-cycles and blocking reverse voltage. Use Value: 800 V VRRM safely handles 600 V peak line transients; 1.2 V VF limits thermal rise in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: Providing flyback path for inductive load current in 24 V DC motor inverters used in home appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uncontrolled freewheeling diode across H-bridge leg, clamping inductive kickback during PWM off-time. Use Value: 25 A IFSM absorbs motor stall surges; 3.0 μs trr prevents cross-conduction in 20 kHz PWM drives. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave or full-wave rectifier feeding bulk capacitor and constant-current charger IC. Use Value: 175 °C TJ max enables operation near transformer heat; 5.0 μA IR preserves battery float voltage accuracy. | Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated flyback LED drivers powering commercial downlights (24–48 V, 0.35–0.7 A). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side output diode converting high-frequency transformer output to steady DC for LED string. Use Value: 8.0 pF CJ minimizes capacitive coupling noise into sensitive current-sense feedback paths. |
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 | VRRM = 1000 V, VF = 1.1 V @ 1.0 A, trr ≈ 30 μs, DO-41 package | Slower recovery limits use above 1 kHz; higher VRRM margin suits less regulated inputs | Select when ultra-low cost and 1000 V blocking outweigh speed needs |
| GP10K-E3/54 | Identical electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in packaging suffix (HM3 vs. E3 denotes tape/reel variant) | No functional difference; HM3 indicates 13" reel with 5500-unit quantity | Direct form-fit-function replacement; verify reel orientation and ESD handling per procurement spec |
Compared with 1N4007-E3/54 and GP10K-E3/54, GP10KHM3/54 offers superior high-frequency performance (3.0 μs vs. ~30 μs trr) while maintaining identical mounting and thermal interface-critical for modern compact power supplies where switching frequency exceeds 20 kHz.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP10KHM3/54?
The GP10KHM3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay's datasheet revision 26-Jan-2022. This allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power supplies or near transformers. Derating begins above 75 °C ambient, and thermal resistance RθJA is 55 °C/W at 0.375" lead length. Always confirm board layout and airflow in final GP10KHM3/54 implementations.
Is GP10KHM3/54 suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
Yes-GP10KHM3/54 features a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 3.0 μs, making it suitable for switch-mode power supplies operating up to ~50 kHz. Its 8.0 pF junction capacitance and low Qrr reduce switching losses and EMI. However, for >100 kHz or synchronous rectification, Schottky or fast recovery alternatives should be evaluated. GP10KHM3/54 remains optimal for cost-sensitive 20–50 kHz flyback and forward converters.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in GP10KHM3/54?
The "HM3" suffix in GP10KHM3/54 identifies the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, with 5500 units per reel (per Vishay ordering information table). It is functionally identical to GP10K-E3/54, differing only in reel specification and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling-not electrical or thermal performance. GP10KHM3/54 is fully compatible with standard DO-41 pick-and-place and wave solder processes.
Does GP10KHM3/54 meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes-GP10KHM3/54 is RoHS-compliant (per Vishay document 99912) and features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability standards. The "E3" base part designation confirms commercial-grade RoHS compliance, and the device passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. No lead content is present in die, bond wires, or terminations. GP10KHM3/54 is qualified for lead-free reflow and wave soldering per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C, 10 s max).
Why is GP10KHM3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates GP10KHM3/54 as "Not for New Designs" due to strategic portfolio rationalization-not obsolescence or reliability concerns. The device remains in active production and supported with full datasheet, testing, and supply chain continuity. For new designs, Vishay recommends newer platforms like the VS-GBU series for higher integration or the VSK series for enhanced surge robustness-but GP10KHM3/54 remains fully viable for legacy refresh, repair, and cost-driven volume production.
