Product details
Overview
GPAS1001 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 10A, 50V standard surface-mount rectifier diode in TO-263AB (D2PAK) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 1.10V max forward voltage at 10A/25°C, 150A surge rating, and 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-used in DC-DC converters and switching-mode inverters.
For engineers reviewing the GPAS1001 datasheet, GPAS1001 pinout, GPAS1001 application, or GPAS1001 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 50V, IF = 10A continuous, IFSM = 150A, TJ = –55°C to +150°C, and TO-263AB mechanical compatibility with high-power PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This single-die standard recovery rectifier operates with low conduction loss (VF ≤ 1.10V @ 10A, 25°C) and high thermal efficiency (RθJC = 4°C/W), enabling compact power stage designs in medium-frequency switching applications up to ~100 kHz.
Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (IR ≤ 5 µA @ 25°C, ≤100 µA @ 125°C) and robust surge tolerance (8.3 ms half-sine IFSM = 150A), meeting JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines minimum system isolation margin for 50V DC bus applications. |
| IF | 10 A - Continuous forward current rating at TC = 110°C; determines heatsink sizing in steady-state operation. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive peak surge current (8.3 ms); supports inrush and fault-current handling without bond-wire failure. |
| VF (max) | 1.10 V @ 10A, 25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 11 W at full load), influencing thermal design and efficiency. |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct thermal interface to heatsink or copper pour for reliable 10A operation. |
| CJ | 50 pF @ 1 MHz, 4V - Junction capacitance affects high-frequency switching noise and snubber design in hard-switched topologies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263AB (D2PAK), surface-mount, 3-terminal configuration with anode, cathode, and exposed drain tab (cathode-connected thermal pad).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to input-side of bridge or boost inductor; must withstand full reverse voltage when off. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output terminal for forward conduction path | Drives output capacitor or load; electrically tied to exposed thermal tab for low-inductance return path. |
| Exposed Tab (Cathode) | Thermal and electrical cathode extension | Provides primary heat dissipation path and reduces thermal resistance; requires soldered copper area ≥ 200 mm². |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling, eliminating need for conformal coating in industrial environments. |
| Low VF (≤1.10 V) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. comparable 50V rectifiers, directly improving efficiency in 12–48V DC-DC stages. |
| High IFSM/IF ratio (15:1) | Supports transient overload conditions (e.g., motor startup, capacitor charging) without degradation or parametric shift. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow, enabling standard SMT assembly without process modification. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Switching Inverter Freewheeling Path |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 48V-to-12V flyback or forward converters delivering up to 120W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; conducts during transformer demagnetization phase. Use Value: Low VF minimizes output-stage loss; TO-263AB thermal pad enables direct heatsinking to reduce hot-spot temperature rise below 100°C. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across IGBTs in 3-phase 400V industrial inverters driving PMSM motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during IGBT turn-off; clamps inductive kickback voltage. Use Value: 150A IFSM handles motor stall currents; 50V VRRM matches low-voltage gate-drive auxiliary supplies. |
| AC-DC Adapter Secondary Rectifier | Industrial Power Supply Hold-up Circuit |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in universal-input 12V/5A offline adapters with active PFC front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts during positive half-cycle of transformer secondary; blocks reverse voltage during negative half-cycle. Use Value: Glass passivation ensures >10-year field life under 40°C ambient; RθJC = 4°C/W allows use without external heatsink at 7A load. | Use Scenario: Backup rectifier feeding bulk capacitor in redundant 24V PLC power modules during main supply interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolates backup source while preventing reverse discharge of hold-up capacitor into failed supply rail. Use Value: Low IR (≤5 µA @ 25°C) preserves capacitor charge for >100 ms hold-up time; RoHS/halogen-free compliance meets industrial safety standards. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-10E50S-M3/5BT | VRRM = 50V, IF = 10A, but RθJC = 5.0°C/W and VF = 1.15V (max) | Slightly higher conduction loss and thermal resistance; same TO-263AB footprint | Acceptable where 0.05V VF margin and 1°C/W thermal penalty are tolerable |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1050CT | Dual common-cathode configuration (2×10A), VF = 1.25V (max), TO-220AC package | Requires through-hole mounting and separate heatsink; not drop-in compatible | Only suitable if dual-diode topology and board real-estate allow TO-220 layout change |
Compared with VS-10E50S-M3/5BT and MUR1050CT, GPAS1001 delivers lower conduction loss and superior thermal performance in the same surface-mount footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 10A rectification where efficiency and reliability are prioritized over dual-diode integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GPAS1001?
The GPAS1001 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This rating is validated under specified thermal conditions including RθJC = 4°C/W and proper heatsinking. Derating curves in the GPAS1001 datasheet define safe operating current versus case temperature, ensuring reliability at elevated ambient conditions.
Is GPAS1001 RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, GPAS1001 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound and matte tin-plated leads meet environmental and safety requirements for industrial and commercial electronics. Compliance documentation, including test reports and declarations of conformity, is available upon request from Taiwan Semiconductor and authorized distributors.
What is the forward voltage specification for GPAS1001 at 10A and 125°C?
The GPAS1001 datasheet specifies VF only at 25°C (max 1.10V @ 10A). At 125°C, VF decreases due to negative temperature coefficient of silicon PN junctions; typical values fall to ~0.95V. For precise thermal modeling, engineers should refer to the GPAS1001 forward characteristics curve (Fig.4) showing VF vs. IF across temperature.
Does GPAS1001 have a built-in thermal pad, and how should it be mounted?
Yes, GPAS1001 uses the TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with an exposed cathode thermal pad on the underside. It must be soldered to a minimum 200 mm² copper area on the PCB, preferably with thermal vias to internal ground planes. This pad is electrically connected to the cathode, so layout must ensure no unintended shorting to adjacent signals or power rails.
Can GPAS1001 replace GPAS1002 in a 100V design?
No-GPAS1001 is rated for 50V VRRM, while GPAS1002 is rated for 100V. Substituting GPAS1001 in a 100V application risks catastrophic reverse breakdown and device failure. Always match the VRRM rating to the peak reverse voltage seen in circuit operation, with ≥20% margin. GPAS1001 is only suitable for systems where peak reverse voltage remains ≤50V.
