GP10BHE3/73 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GP10BHE3/73 is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, rated for 100 V DC reverse voltage and 1 A average rectified current in a DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole axial package. This part operates within the SUPERECTIFIER® series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts are necessary for ongoing design support, production continuity, and component sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GP10BHE3/73 are classified into three categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: Parts that maintain identical electrical specifications and package format while offering improved product status or availability.

Parametric Equivalents: Parts that meet or exceed the electrical performance requirements (voltage, current, recovery time, leakage) and use the same package type, enabling direct functional replacement.

Manufacturer Recommended Alternatives: Parts that provide enhanced specifications (higher voltage or current ratings) or alternative package options for applications requiring upgraded performance or different form factors.

Substitution is determined by the following key parameters:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) rating must equal or exceed 100 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io) must equal or exceed 1 A
Package type must be DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole for direct board-level replacement
Operating temperature range must support the application requirements
Technology classification (Standard or Avalanche) determines functional behavior in reverse-bias conditions

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended for Direct Replacement):

The following parts are recommended as primary substitutes due to identical electrical specifications, matching package format, and active product status:

1N4002GPE-E3/73 (Vishay): Highest inventory availability (9935 Pcs), active status, identical 100 V / 1 A ratings, improved reverse recovery time (2 µs vs. 3 µs), Cut Tape packaging
1N4002GP-E3/73 (Vishay): Active status, identical electrical specifications, 3100 Pcs inventory, faster recovery time
GP10B-E3/73 (Vishay): Direct manufacturer equivalent, active status, identical specifications to original part

Secondary Substitutes (Conditional Use):

GP10-4002E-E3/53 (Vishay): Active status, identical electrical specifications, 981 Pcs inventory, alternative sourcing option
1N4002-G (Comchip Technology): Active status, 100 V / 1 A ratings, highest inventory (13557 Pcs), alternative manufacturer source

Enhanced Performance Alternative:

BYW52-TAP (Vishay): Manufacturer-recommended upgrade for applications requiring higher voltage (200 V) or current (2 A) margins. Different package format (SOD-57) requires board layout modification. Active status with 755 Pcs inventory.

Lower Voltage Alternatives (Not Recommended for Direct Replacement):

Parts rated at 50 V (1N4001 series) do not meet the 100 V specification of the original part and are listed for reference only. These parts are suitable only for applications with reduced voltage requirements.

All recommended substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 classification consistent with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 1N4001 series diode as a substitute for the GP10BHE3/73?

A: No. The 1N4001 series is rated for 50 V maximum reverse voltage, while the GP10BHE3/73 is rated for 100 V. Using a lower-voltage diode in a 100 V application creates risk of reverse breakdown and component failure. The 1N4001 series is listed in the substitute database for reference only and is suitable only for applications with reduced voltage requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the 1N4002GP-E3/73 and 1N4002GPE-E3/73?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Vishay and meet identical electrical specifications (100 V, 1 A). The primary difference is packaging: 1N4002GP-E3/73 is supplied in standard packaging, while 1N4002GPE-E3/73 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. The 1N4002GPE-E3/73 offers significantly higher inventory availability (9935 Pcs vs. 3100 Pcs) and faster reverse recovery time (2 µs vs. 3 µs). Both are active products suitable for new designs.

Q: Is the BYW52-TAP a direct replacement for the GP10BHE3/73?

A: No. The BYW52-TAP is a manufacturer-recommended upgrade, not a direct replacement. It provides enhanced specifications (200 V / 2 A vs. 100 V / 1 A) and uses a different package format (SOD-57 vs. DO-204AL). Board layout modification is required for implementation. The BYW52-TAP is suitable only for applications where higher voltage or current ratings are beneficial and the package change is acceptable.

Q: Why is the GP10BHE3/73 listed as obsolete?

A: The GP10BHE3/73 has reached end-of-life status with Vishay. The active equivalent GP10B-E3/73 provides identical specifications and is the recommended replacement for ongoing production. Alternative sources such as 1N4002GPE-E3/73 offer higher inventory availability and improved performance characteristics.

Q: Can I substitute parts from different manufacturers?

A: Yes. The 1N4002-G (Comchip Technology) and 1N4001 series parts from Diodes Incorporated and Micro Commercial Co meet the electrical specifications for substitution. All recommended substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification. Verify manufacturer datasheets for application-specific requirements such as operating temperature range or reverse recovery time.

Q: What packaging options are available for 100 V / 1 A rectifier diodes?

A: All primary substitutes (1N4002 series and GP10B series) are available in DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package format, matching the original part. The BYW52-TAP uses SOD-57 package and requires board layout modification. Packaging selection depends on PCB design constraints and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, consistent with the original GP10BHE3/73 specification.
