GP10GE-E3/53

Single Diodes Overview

The GP10GE-E3/53 is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 1 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 1 A and a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 400 V. It has a standard recovery time of 3 µs and a maximum surge current of 30 A. The component is housed in a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package with a junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced environmental stability and reliability under various operating conditions.
• High thermal performance capability allowing operation up to a junction temperature of +175°C.
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics designed to minimize power dissipation during conduction.

Single Diodes Applications

• Reverse polarity protection in electronic equipment.
• Freewheeling applications in inductive load driving circuits.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as reverse leakage and forward voltage with your circuit design limits before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V blocking voltage and 1 A continuous current rating are required in a standard axial package. Consider the 3 µs recovery time suitability for low-frequency applications rather than high-speed switching environments. Evaluate the DO-204AL footprint constraints against available PCB space requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the GP10 series of glass-passivated general-purpose rectifiers from Vishay. It shares the DO-204AL mechanical outline with other variants like the GP10ME, but differs in voltage ratings and recovery characteristics. The E3 suffix indicates compliance with specific environmental standards defined by the manufacturer.
