Product details
Overview
RGP10GHE3/53 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); it serves as a freewheeling or output rectifier in offline AC/DC adapters and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the RGP10GHE3/53 datasheet, RGP10GHE3/53 pinout, RGP10GHE3/53 application, or RGP10GHE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 ns trr for high-frequency switching efficiency, 1.3 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, 5.0 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, and Superectifier® reliability architecture.
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 low thermal resistance (55 °C/W). Its fast recovery (150 ns) is achieved via optimized carrier lifetime control, supporting switching frequencies beyond 100 kHz in flyback and forward converter topologies.
The RGP10GHE3/53 operates as a unidirectional, single-anode/cathode rectifier with color-band cathode polarity marking. It delivers 30 A non-repetitive surge capability (IFSM) and maintains <5.0 μA IR at rated 400 V blocking, making it suitable for transient-prone power supply outputs where leakage and recovery speed are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports input rectification in 230 VAC-derived supplies with sufficient margin against line surges |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 55 °C ambient with 0.375" lead length |
| trr | 150 ns - enables efficient operation in 50–200 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss |
| VF | 1.3 V @ 1.0 A - contributes to ~1.3 W conduction loss at full load, manageable with minimal heatsinking |
| IR | 5.0 μA @ 25 °C - ensures low standby power loss in no-load or light-load conditions |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - allows reliable operation in enclosed, thermally constrained industrial power modules |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - defines thermal rise under standard PCB mounting; requires layout-aware copper pour for sustained 1 A loads |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded body with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix), JESD22-B102 solderable, UL 94 V-0 rated.

| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit node | Connected to output filter capacitor positive rail; polarity must match PCB silkscreen |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superectifier® structure | Eliminates micro-cavities at junction interface, improving long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress |
| Fast switching (150 ns trr) | Reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr), lowering EMI and conduction losses in high-frequency converters |
| Low leakage (5.0 μA) | Minimizes standby power dissipation in energy-efficient power supplies meeting Level VI standards |
| High surge rating (30 A IFSM) | Withstands inrush currents during cold-start or output short-circuit events without degradation |
| 175 °C TJ max. | Enables use in high-ambient environments such as enclosed LED drivers or industrial motor controls |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Output Rectification | DC-DC Converter Freewheeling Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5–24 W universal-input offline flyback adapters powering consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve converting transformer AC output to regulated DC; not timing-critical but recovery speed directly impacts efficiency. Use Value: 150 ns trr and 1.3 V VF reduce total power loss by ~8% vs. standard 1N4007, extending thermal headroom in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in 12 V–48 V input isolated forward or half-bridge DC-DC modules for telecom infrastructure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current recirculation path during MOSFET off-time; recovery behavior affects voltage overshoot and snubber sizing. Use Value: Low Qrr and 5.0 μA IR minimize switching node ringing and standby current, easing EMI filter design. |
| Inverter Auxiliary Power Supply | Industrial Motor Drive Snubber Diode |
Use Scenario: Input rectification for 24 V auxiliary power supply feeding gate drivers and control logic in 3-phase inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting rectified AC or boosted DC to stable 24 V bus; operates continuously under variable load. Use Value: 175 °C TJ rating and 55 °C/W RθJA allow uninterrupted operation even when mounted near heat-generating IGBTs. | Use Scenario: Clamp/snubber diode across IGBT collector-emitter in 7.5 kW motor drives with regenerative braking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast turn-on/turn-off element absorbing inductive kickback energy; recovery speed determines clamp effectiveness. Use Value: 30 A IFSM and 150 ns trr enable robust clamping of 20–30 A surge transients without thermal runaway or second breakdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1R04 | 1.0 A / 400 V, 35 ns trr, TO-220AC package, higher VF (1.55 V) | Requires heatsink above ~0.5 A; better for ultra-fast designs needing sub-50 ns recovery | Select when trr < 50 ns is mandatory and board space allows TO-220 footprint |
| ON Semi MUR140 | 1.0 A / 400 V, 50 ns trr, DO-41 package, VF = 1.25 V, IR = 5.0 μA | Same footprint and polarity; faster recovery but slightly lower surge rating (25 A IFSM) | Drop-in replacement if 50 ns trr improves system efficiency and 25 A surge margin suffices |
Compared with STTH1R04 and MUR140, the RGP10GHE3/53 offers balanced performance: DO-41 compatibility like MUR140 but with higher IFSM (30 A), and lower VF than STTH1R04-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 1 A rectifier roles where 150 ns trr is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RGP10GHE3/53?
The RGP10GHE3/53 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +175 °C, verified per Vishay specification document 88700. This rating allows sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies or proximity to power semiconductors. Derating curves in the RGP10GHE3/53 datasheet define safe IF(AV) limits versus ambient temperature, and thermal design must account for its 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under standard mounting conditions.
Is RGP10GHE3/53 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the RGP10GHE3/53 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by its "E3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature and compliance documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the device passes JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing. Full material declarations and substance compliance reports are available through Vishay's official portal upon request for the RGP10GHE3/53.
What does the "/53" suffix indicate in RGP10GHE3/53?
The "/53" suffix in RGP10GHE3/53 denotes the packaging configuration: specifically, 5500 units per 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, per Vishay's ordering information table in document 88700. It does not affect electrical or thermal specifications. Other variants include /54 (same tape/reel) and /73 (ammo pack), all sharing identical RGP10GHE3 die and DO-41 package characteristics. The RGP10GHE3/53 is functionally identical to RGP10GHE3/54 except for packaging format.
How does the reverse recovery time of RGP10GHE3/53 compare to standard rectifiers like 1N4007?
The RGP10GHE3/53 has a specified trr of 150 ns, whereas the 1N4007 exhibits >2 μs recovery-over 13× slower. This difference significantly reduces switching losses and EMI generation in high-frequency power supplies. In practice, replacing a 1N4007 with RGP10GHE3/53 in a 100 kHz flyback converter lowers diode power dissipation by ~350 mW and eases output filter design. The RGP10GHE3/53 achieves this via controlled carrier lifetime and glass-passivated junction integrity.
Why is RGP10GHE3/53 marked "Not for New Designs"?
Vishay designates RGP10GHE3/53 as "Not for New Designs" (per revision 26-Jan-2022 of doc. 88700) due to strategic portfolio rationalization toward newer platforms like the VS-1N4937-M3/54 or FRED Pt series. However, the RGP10GHE3/53 remains fully manufactured, stocked, and supported for existing designs requiring DO-41 fast rectifiers with 400 V VRRM and 150 ns trr. Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and lifecycle coordination for ongoing production use of RGP10GHE3/53.
