Product details
Overview
RGP10GE-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated junction fast-switching plastic rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 150 ns reverse recovery time (trr); used as freewheeling or output rectifier in AC/DC adapters and telecom DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the RGP10GE-E3/54 datasheet, RGP10GE-E3/54 pinout, RGP10GE-E3/54 application, or RGP10GE-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 400 V, trr = 150 ns, VF = 1.3 V at 1.0 A, IR = 5.0 μA at 25 °C, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole power supply designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a single silicon PN junction with cavity-free glass passivation, enabling stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C and low leakage under high-temperature bias. Its Superectifier® structure delivers fast switching (trr = 150 ns) while maintaining high surge capability (IFSM = 30 A).
Designed for line-frequency and mid-frequency rectification, it supports resistive/inductive loads with 0.375" (9.5 mm) lead length derating and meets JESD 22-B106 solder dip requirements (275 °C, 10 s). Polarity is marked by cathode band on the epoxy body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 350–400 V DC bus applications |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - average forward current at TA = 55 °C with 0.375" leads; sets continuous power handling in compact adapters |
| trr | 150 ns - reverse recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1.0 A, Irr = 0.25 A; enables efficient operation up to ~100 kHz switching |
| VF | 1.3 V - forward voltage drop at 1.0 A, 25 °C; determines conduction loss and thermal rise in rectifier stage |
| IR | 5.0 μA - max reverse leakage at rated VDC and 25 °C; critical for low-power standby and high-impedance bias networks |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - maximum junction temperature; allows use in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, molded epoxy over glass body; UL 94 V-0 rated; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node return) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by color band; ties to output filter capacitor positive rail or load return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Enhanced reliability via cavity-free glass passivation-reduces moisture ingress and junction degradation during thermal cycling |
| Fast switching (trr = 150 ns) | Enables higher-frequency rectification than standard rectifiers, reducing output filter size in 50–100 kHz SMPS |
| Low IR = 5.0 μA @ 25 °C | Minimizes standby power loss in always-on consumer electronics and telecom interface circuits |
| High IFSM = 30 A | Withstands cold-start inrush and transient surges without failure in unregulated input stages |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Output Rectification | Telecom DC/DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5–24 V, 1–2 A offline flyback adapters for set-top boxes and VoIP phones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power diode conducting during transformer demagnetization phase; handles continuous 1.0 A DC output. Use Value: Low VF (1.3 V) reduces conduction loss; DO-41 footprint ensures compatibility with high-volume wave-soldered PCBs. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in isolated 48 V input, 3.3/5/12 V output telecom DC/DC modules operating at 200–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp inductive energy during MOSFET off-time; recovers in 150 ns to minimize voltage overshoot. Use Value: Fast trr prevents cross-conduction losses; 175 °C TJ rating supports operation near hot power stages. |
| Inverter Auxiliary Supply Rectification | Industrial Control Board Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Rectifying auxiliary 24 V AC control supply feeding gate drivers and logic in motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier feeding linear regulator or buck converter; operates continuously at <0.5 A avg. Use Value: High VRRM (400 V) accommodates 24 V AC RMS × √2 ≈ 34 V peak plus transients; robust against line spikes. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and back-EMF protection on 24 V DC input rails of PLC I/O modules and sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking diode preventing damage during field-wiring errors or inductive kickback. Use Value: Low IR (5.0 μA) avoids loading sensitive analog inputs; DO-41 allows manual replacement in field-service scenarios. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | VRRM = 400 V, trr = 35 ns (faster), VF = 1.3 V, DO-41 package | Better suited for >200 kHz operation due to shorter trr; higher cost | Select when minimizing switching loss dominates over cost or legacy layout constraints |
| 1N4937G | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 200 ns (slower), VF = 1.2 V, DO-41 package | Higher blocking margin but slower recovery; less efficient at high frequency | Prefer where input transients exceed 400 V or where lower VF offsets trr penalty in <50 kHz designs |
Compared with RGP10GE-E3/54, STTH1R04 offers faster recovery for higher-frequency efficiency but at premium cost, while 1N4937G trades speed for higher voltage margin and slightly lower VF-making each suitable for distinct trade-off priorities in rectifier selection.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RGP10GE-E3/54?
The RGP10GE-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, allowing reliable operation in thermally constrained environments such as sealed power supplies or industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per Vishay's thermal characterization and supports extended lifetime under continuous 1.0 A forward conduction at elevated ambient temperatures when mounted with standard 0.375" lead length.
Is RGP10GE-E3/54 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, RGP10GE-E3/54 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "E3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the part passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Full compliance documentation is available in Vishay's material declaration portal.
What does the "/54" suffix mean in RGP10GE-E3/54?
The "/54" suffix in RGP10GE-E3/54 specifies the packaging format: 5500 units per 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel. This is the standard logistics code used by Vishay for automated SMT placement compatibility-even though RGP10GE-E3/54 is a through-hole DO-41 device, the tape-and-reel format supports semi-automated insertion systems and inventory traceability.
How does RGP10GE-E3/54 differ from RGP10JE-E3/54?
RGP10GE-E3/54 and RGP10JE-E3/54 share identical DO-41 packaging and thermal specs, but differ in VRRM: RGP10GE-E3/54 is rated for 400 V, while RGP10JE-E3/54 is rated for 600 V. Their trr values also differ-150 ns vs. 250 ns-making RGP10GE-E3/54 better suited for higher-frequency rectification where lower recovery loss is critical.
Why is RGP10GE-E3/54 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates RGP10GE-E3/54 as "Not for New Designs" because newer surface-mount alternatives (e.g., SMA/SMB packages with improved thermal performance) are recommended for new product development. However, RGP10GE-E3/54 remains fully supported for legacy repair, continuity programs, and existing designs where DO-41 through-hole compatibility and proven field reliability are required.
