Product details
Overview
GP15G-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction plastic rectifier diode in DO-15 package, rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 1.1 V forward voltage drop at 1.5 A. It delivers low leakage (5.0 μA at 25 °C), fast recovery (3.5 μs), and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - used as a freewheeling or output rectifier in AC/DC adapters and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the GP15G-E3/54 datasheet, GP15G-E3/54 pinout, GP15G-E3/54 application, or GP15G-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating matching input voltage stress, IFSM capability for surge immunity, thermal resistance (RθJL = 20 °C/W) for lead-mounted thermal design, and DO-15 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole power supply layouts.
Technical Context
This is a single-die, single-anode/cathode silicon rectifier with superectifier structure enabling high reliability in continuous conduction mode. Its cavity-free glass-passivated junction ensures stable IR performance across temperature and humidity stress.
The device exhibits low trr (3.5 μs) and CJ (15 pF at 4.0 V, 1 MHz), supporting moderate-frequency switching applications up to ~100 kHz. Thermal design relies on RθJL = 20 °C/W (0.375" lead length), making it suitable for PCB-mounted leads without heatsinking in <5 W power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown; sets minimum input voltage derating margin in offline rectification. |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A - average forward current at 55 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length; defines continuous power handling in thermally constrained layouts. |
| VF @ 1.5 A | 1.1 V - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss (1.65 W max at full load); impacts efficiency and thermal rise in linear-regulated supplies. |
| trr | 3.5 μs - reverse recovery time affecting switching loss and EMI in flyback/freewheeling operation; enables use in 50–100 kHz SMPS. |
| IR @ 25 °C | 5.0 μA - reverse leakage current at rated VDC; critical for low-power standby circuits and high-impedance bias networks. |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - maximum junction temperature; allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments. |
| RθJL | 20 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to lead; enables direct thermal path to PCB copper pour or chassis via lead solder joint. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-15 (DO-204AC), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded body with glass-passivated junction; cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of rectifier bridge or freewheeling path; must withstand IFSM = 50 A surge. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or switch node; polarity marking prevents reverse installation in high-voltage circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced junction reliability under thermal cycling and humidity exposure, validated per JESD22-A101 and A110. |
| Cavity-free glass passivation | Eliminates interfacial voids that cause premature IR drift or catastrophic failure under high dv/dt stress. |
| Low VF and IR combination | Enables high-efficiency 12–24 V output rectification while maintaining low standby leakage in energy-sensitive designs. |
| Solder dip tolerance | Withstands 275 °C for 10 s per JESD22-B106 - compatible with standard wave-solder and reflow profiles for through-hole assembly. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Output Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4007G-T | VRRM = 1000 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF = 1.1 V, trr ≈ 30 μs | Higher voltage rating but lower current and slower recovery; unsuitable for >60 kHz switching | Select when higher reverse margin is needed and switching frequency is below 20 kHz. |
| RS1M-E3/54 | VRRM = 1000 V, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, VF = 1.3 V, trr = 500 ns | Faster recovery but higher VF and lower IF(AV); optimized for high-frequency SMPS | Select when trr < 1 μs is required and average current ≤ 1.0 A. |
Compared with 1N4007G-T and RS1M-E3/54, GP15G-E3/54 uniquely balances 400 V VRRM, 1.5 A IF(AV), and 3.5 μs trr - making it optimal for cost-sensitive 20–100 kHz power supplies where both current capacity and moderate-speed recovery matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GP15G-E3/54?
The GP15G-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per the Vishay datasheet document 88638. This rating allows reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments such as industrial control panels. Derating curves in Figure 1 confirm usable current down to 125 °C ambient at full 1.5 A load. The GP15G-E3/54 maintains stable IR and VF performance within this range.
Is GP15G-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GP15G-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by the "E3" suffix in its part number and Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the device passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. GP15G-E3/54 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related amendments.
What does the "/54" suffix indicate in GP15G-E3/54?
The "/54" suffix in GP15G-E3/54 specifies the preferred packaging code: 4000 units per 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, per Vishay's ordering information table. This format supports automated pick-and-place insertion for through-hole assembly lines. GP15G-E3/54 is not supplied in bulk or ammo pack - only in this tape-and-reel configuration. The GP15G-E3/54 reel meets EIA-481-D standards.
Can GP15G-E3/54 replace GP15J-E3/54 in a design?
No - GP15G-E3/54 (400 V VRRM) is not a direct replacement for GP15J-E3/54 (600 V VRRM). Substituting GP15G-E3/54 risks reverse breakdown under transient overvoltage conditions exceeding 400 V. While both share identical package, VF, and trr, the 200 V difference in VRRM requires circuit-level validation. GP15G-E3/54 should only replace GP15J-E3/54 if the peak reverse voltage in the application is confirmed ≤ 360 V with margin.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of GP15G-E3/54 and how is it measured?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of GP15G-E3/54 is 3.5 μs, measured under IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 V, and Irr = 0.25 A per the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear after forward conduction ceases. It directly impacts switching loss and EMI in flyback and buck converters operating above 20 kHz. GP15G-E3/54's trr is significantly faster than 1N400x series diodes, supporting higher-frequency designs.
