GP02-35HE3/54

Single Diodes Overview

The GP02-35HE3/54 is a high voltage glass passivated junction plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a Superectifier structure for high reliability and operates with a maximum average forward rectified current of 0.25 A at an ambient temperature of 55 °C. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 3500 V and withstands a peak forward surge current of 15 A. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 3.0 V, a typical reverse recovery time of 2.0 μs, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at rated blocking voltage. The component utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) molded epoxy package over a glass body.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance status and packaging configuration. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and commercial grade material categorization. Confirm the delivery mode matches project requirements, as options include paper tape and reel or ammo pack packaging. Ensure lead length specifications align with thermal resistance calculations for the intended mounting method.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage isolation and reliable switching are required in compact axial packages. The Superectifier technology provides enhanced durability compared to standard junctions. Evaluate the thermal derating curves to ensure the average forward current remains within limits at elevated ambient temperatures. Verify that the 3500 V rating exceeds the peak inverse voltage present in the target circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the GP02 series of high voltage silicon rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings ranging from 2000 V to 4000 V. All members share the same physical DO-41 package and similar electrical performance profiles regarding forward current and surge capacity. The HE3 designation typically denotes environmental compliance and specific manufacturing standards.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include GP02-20, GP02-25, GP02-30, and GP02-40, which offer identical mechanical dimensions and lower reverse voltage ratings. Cross-brand replacements must match the 0.25 A forward current, 3500 V reverse voltage, and DO-41 package constraints.
