GP1001

Diode Arrays Overview

The GP1001 is a standard rectifier from the GP1001–GP1007 series manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a dual-die configuration housed in a TO-220AB package. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V and handles an average forward current (IF) of 10 A. It withstands a surge peak forward current (IFSM) of 125 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave. The maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) is rated at 150 °C, with a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 3 °C/W.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix when purchasing. The base code GP10x indicates the voltage rating, where x=1 corresponds to 50 V. The 'H' suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Confirm the packing format matches requirements, as the standard tube contains 50 units per tube. Ensure compliance with halogen-free standards if required by the application specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select the GP1001 specifically for applications requiring a 50 V reverse voltage rating within the GP1001–GP1007 family. Consider the TO-220AB package for through-hole mounting and adequate heat dissipation. Evaluate the 10 A continuous current capacity against load requirements. Check if automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualification is necessary; if so, specify the 'H' suffix variant.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The GP1001 belongs to the GP1001–GP1007 series of 10 A standard rectifiers offered by Taiwan Semiconductor. This series provides a range of voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, distinguished by the last digit of the part number. All variants share the same physical package, current ratings, and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum reverse voltage capabilities.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 10 A, 50 V standard rectifiers in the TO-220AB package. Verify that replacement devices meet or exceed the 125 A surge current rating and 150 °C junction temperature limit. Ensure the alternative component utilizes glass passivation if reliability under harsh conditions is critical.
