Product details
Overview
TGL41-100A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 95–105 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 137 V clamping voltage (VC) at 1.46 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-100A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-100A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-100A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-100A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 85.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 5 μA max reverse leakage, 150 °C junction temperature rating, and DO-213AB mechanical compatibility with automated placement.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated planar junction to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective clamping of transient overvoltages before downstream components are stressed. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while suppressing reverse transients.
The device operates within -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤250 °C). It is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix), whisker-tested per JESD201 Class 1A, and housed in UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 95.0 V / 105 V - Ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating voltage while avoiding false triggering. |
| VWM | 85.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage without significant leakage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 137 V - Clamped voltage during 1.46 A 10/1000 μs transient, limiting stress on protected circuitry. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling for standard lightning/surge immunity testing (IEC 61000-4-5). |
| IFSM | 40 A - Surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, supporting inrush and fault-current events. |
| Junction Temp | -55 °C to +150 °C - Enables use in high-temperature industrial environments without derating. |
| Leakage @ VWM | ≤5 μA - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids interference in high-impedance signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GL41 (DO-213AB) - cylindrical plastic MELF case with matte tin-plated solderable ends; blue band denotes cathode (positive terminal under reverse-bias clamping condition); 0.105" diameter × 0.238" length (2.67 mm × 6.0 mm); compatible with standard MELF pick-and-place feeders.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; defines clamping reference point. |
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient energy sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., DC bus, gate drive); conducts surge current to ground during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV line-to-line, 2 kV line-to-ground) surge immunity requirements. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking-reduces manufacturing overhead. |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Simplifies layout by eliminating need for bidirectional symmetry; supports DC-biased protection schemes. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Prevents flame propagation in end equipment, satisfying safety standards for industrial enclosures. |
Applications
| Motor Drive DC Bus Protection | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppresses voltage spikes caused by contactor switching or regenerative braking in 100 V-class motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS diode placed across DC bus rails to clamp transients before they reach IGBT gate drivers or bus capacitors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed at rectifier output to absorb repetitive 10/1000 μs transients before downstream regulators. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature enables operation in sealed, high-ambient telecom cabinets without thermal derating. | Use Scenario: Shields analog/digital signal lines in ATE fixtures from ESD and relay-switching transients during board-level functional test. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance MELF TVS mounted directly at connector interface to minimize stub inductance and preserve signal integrity. Use Value: DO-213AB footprint allows dense placement near connectors; blue-band polarity ensures correct orientation in automated assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA100A-E3/96 | Same VWM (85.5 V), identical VC (137 V), but lower PPPM (400 W → 400 W same), packaged in SMA (DO-214AC) instead of MELF. | SMA package requires larger PCB area and different pick-and-place setup; less suitable for high-density automated MELF lines. | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility or higher thermal mass from epoxy body is prioritized over MELF placement efficiency. |
| SMBJ100A | Higher VC (156 V), same VWM, but SMB (DO-214AA) package; 600 W PPPM rating. | Less precise clamping margin for 100 V systems; larger footprint may conflict with tight spacing near connectors. | Choose only if higher surge margin justifies looser voltage control and board space trade-off. |
Compared with P4SMA100A-E3/96 and SMBJ100A, the TGL41-100A-E3/96 delivers identical electrical protection performance in a smaller, leadless MELF form factor optimized for high-speed placement and thermal cycling reliability-critical for volume industrial production.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-100A-E3/96 under standard surge conditions?
The TGL41-100A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 1.46 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in 100 V-class systems. The TGL41-100A-E3/96 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TGL41-100A-E3/96 suitable for new designs despite Vishay's "Not For New Designs" notice?
No-the "Not For New Designs" designation applies to the entire TGL41 family, including the TGL41-100A-E3/96. Vishay recommends migrating to the P4SMA series (e.g., P4SMA100A-E3/96) for new projects. However, the TGL41-100A-E3/96 remains fully supported for existing production and legacy BOM continuity, with no announced obsolescence date.
What does the "E3/96" suffix indicate in TGL41-100A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance; "/96" specifies packaging in 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 1500 units per reel. This configuration ensures compatibility with standard high-speed pick-and-place equipment used in automotive and industrial electronics assembly lines. The TGL41-100A-E3/96 is supplied in this exact format.
How does the GL41 (DO-213AB) package of the TGL41-100A-E3/96 compare to SMA or SMB packages in thermal performance?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package offers lower thermal resistance than SMA/SMB due to its cylindrical geometry and direct end-soldering, enabling more efficient heat dissipation into the PCB copper. While rated at 1.0 W steady-state power, the TGL41-100A-E3/96 achieves superior pulse energy handling per unit volume. Its compact size also reduces parasitic inductance versus gull-wing leads.
Can the TGL41-100A-E3/96 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No-the TGL41-100A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts in forward bias and clamps reverse transients; it cannot suppress positive-going transients on grounded lines. For bidirectional protection, two TGL41-100A-E3/96 devices must be connected in series opposing configuration-or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ100CA should be selected instead.
