Product details
Overview
TGL41-100A-E3/97 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, and 137 V clamping voltage 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-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-100A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-100A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-100A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 85.5 V stand-off voltage, 5 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C junction temperature rating, and DO-213AB mechanical compatibility with automated placement systems.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated planar junction to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse transients above VBR, with thermal derating defined per Figure 2 up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤250 °C). Its blue band denotes cathode polarity, and it is RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix) with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 95.0 V / 105 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage with margin against tolerance drift |
| VWM | 85.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 5 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 137 V - clamped voltage during 1.46 A 10/1000 μs transient, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling for non-repetitive surges per standard waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting high-energy fault events |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - allows forward conduction while suppressing reverse transients; cathode marked by blue band |
Pinout & Package
Package: GL41 (DO-213AB) - cylindrical plastic MELF case, 3.0–3.5 mm length, 2.41–2.67 mm diameter, lead-free matte tin terminals, MSL Level 1 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Current exit terminal under forward bias; clamping node under reverse transient | Marked by blue band; connected to higher-potential rail; conducts when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to clamp transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic MELF packaging | Enables high-speed automated placement and reflow compatibility without tombstoning risk |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage across temperature and lifetime |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Provides robust protection against common industrial switching transients and lightning-induced surges |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving protection margin |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Permits single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and IGBTs against voltage spikes caused by inductive load switching in variable-frequency drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping element placed across DC bus or gate-source terminals. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤137 V at 1.46 A, preventing gate oxide rupture and ensuring >10⁵ surge cycles per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance. | Use Scenario: Surge suppression on -48 V DC input rails of telecom rectifier modules exposed to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary transient suppressor mounted at board edge, upstream of DC-DC converters. Use Value: Withstands 400 W pulses while maintaining <5 μA leakage at 85.5 V, preserving efficiency and enabling long-term reliability in 24/7 operation. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Industrial PLC I/O Cards |
Use Scenario: Protection of microcontroller GPIOs and CAN transceivers against load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on signal lines and power inputs, complementing primary front-end protection. Use Value: Fast response (<1 ns) and 150 °C max junction temperature support operation in engine bay environments with minimal thermal derating. | Use Scenario: Input protection for analog sensor interfaces (e.g., 4–20 mA loops) subject to field wiring transients in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated suppressor placed between terminal block and signal conditioning IC. Use Value: 85.5 V VWM matches typical 24 V system rails; 137 V VC ensures downstream op-amps remain within absolute maximum ratings during 1 kV/500 A surge events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA100A-E3/73 | Same 100 V nominal breakdown, but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating; 137 V clamping; 5.0 μA leakage at 85.5 V | Surface-mount flat lead package requires different PCB footprint and thermal relief design | Select when board space constraints favor rectangular SMD over cylindrical MELF, or when existing layout uses SMA footprints |
| SMAJ100A | DO-214AC package; 100 V VBR (95–105 V); 400 W PPPM; 137 V VC; 5 μA leakage; same thermal specs | Not RoHS-compliant (non-E3 suffix); no JESD 201 whisker test certification | Choose only for legacy non-RoHS designs where whisker resistance is not required and cost is prioritized |
Compared with TGL41-100A-E3/97, P4SMA100A-E3/73 offers identical electrical performance in a more compact SMD footprint but lacks MELF's inherent symmetry for automated placement yield, while SMAJ100A sacrifices RoHS compliance and whisker resistance for lower unit cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-100A-E3/97 under specified test conditions?
The TGL41-100A-E3/97 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 at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events, directly impacting downstream component stress margins.
Is the TGL41-100A-E3/97 suitable for new designs given its "Not For New Designs" status?
Although Vishay labels the TGL41-100A-E3/97 as "Not For New Designs", Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and supports legacy program continuity. For new designs, consider P4SMA100A-E3/73 as a functionally equivalent alternative in SMA package-TGL41-100A-E3/97 remains viable where MELF form factor, automated placement yield, or existing qualification mandates its use.
What does the "/97" suffix indicate in TGL41-100A-E3/97?
The "/97" suffix in TGL41-100A-E3/97 specifies the preferred package code for 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery, containing 5000 units per reel. This differs from /96 (7-inch reel, 1500 units) and ensures correct logistics and SMT line feed compatibility for high-volume manufacturing.
How does the TGL41-100A-E3/97 perform at elevated ambient temperatures?
The TGL41-100A-E3/97 follows Vishay's standard derating curve (Figure 2): its peak pulse power decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient, reaching ~200 W at 91 °C and further reducing to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. Designers must calculate actual power dissipation using thermal resistance and ensure TJ stays ≤150 °C under worst-case surge repetition.
Does the TGL41-100A-E3/97 meet any industry-standard surge immunity specifications?
Yes-the TGL41-100A-E3/97 is characterized per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 (surge immunity) and ISO 7637-2 (automotive transients) when applied per recommended layout guidelines. Its 400 W rating aligns with Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) testing requirements when combined with appropriate series impedance.
