Product details
Overview
TGL41-10A-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), 9.5–10.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 14.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 27.6 A peak pulse current - used to protect MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-10A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-10A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-10A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-10A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 8.55 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 10 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated planar junction and operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode denoted by a blue band. Its clamping behavior is defined under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform testing per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, delivering consistent transient suppression across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
It features low incremental surge resistance and fast response time, enabling effective protection of sensitive inputs during sub-microsecond overvoltage events. The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements in its molding compound.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.5 V / 10.5 V - ensures reliable triggering above circuit operating voltage while avoiding false conduction during normal operation |
| VWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 10 μA, matching 3.3 V or 5 V rail protection needs |
| VC @ IPPM | 14.5 V - clamped voltage seen by protected IC during 27.6 A transient, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under 10/1000 μs waveform, sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands single 8.3 ms half-sine surge without degradation, supporting motor driver or relay coil snubbing |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables use in high-temperature industrial environments without thermal derating below rated power |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - compact MELF outline optimized for automated placement and high reliability in harsh thermal cycling |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a cylindrical plastic MELF package with two solderable end terminals. Polarity is marked by a blue band indicating the cathode (positive terminal under reverse-bias TVS operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; conducts during transient clamp to shunt energy away from protected line |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected signal/power line; blue band identifies this terminal; reverse-biased during normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables robust protection against lightning-induced surges and inductive kickback in industrial control systems |
| Glass passivated planar junction | Provides stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress without parameter drift |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without moisture-related popcorning or delamination risks |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Simplifies design for DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation |
| UL 94 V-0 compliant molding compound | Meets fire safety requirements for enclosed industrial and telecom equipment housings |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Protection | MOSFET Gate Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure/temperature sensors exposed to relay switching noise in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS diode placed between sensor output and system ground to clamp transients before they reach ADC input or isolation amplifier. Use Value: Limits induced voltage spikes to ≤14.5 V, preventing latch-up or damage to 12-bit SAR ADCs operating at 3.3 V supply. |
Use Scenario: Snubbing gate-source voltage overshoot during high-speed switching of 600 V N-channel MOSFETs in motor drive half-bridges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected from MOSFET gate to source to suppress Miller-induced ringing and ESD events. Use Value: Clamps gate voltage to safe levels (<15 V) without affecting PWM timing integrity due to sub-nanosecond response. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Computer Peripheral Port |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding RS-485 transceiver data lines connected to outdoor wiring in building management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed on differential pair (A/B) referenced to local ground to absorb common-mode surges from cable coupling. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity up to 10 Mbps by limiting clamping overshoot to <15 V while adding <1 pF junction capacitance. |
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+/D− lines on embedded host controllers from ESD events during hot-plug insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete TVS mounted adjacent to connector to divert ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. Use Value: Achieves <1 ns response time and <10 μA leakage at 3.3 V, ensuring no impact on USB eye diagram or enumeration timing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA10A-E3/96 | Same VBR range (9.5–10.5 V), but DO-214AC (SMA) package - larger footprint, higher thermal mass, 600 W PPPM | Preferred for manual prototyping or high-power board-level surge protection where PCB space allows SMA footprint | Select when higher surge margin or hand-soldering compatibility is required; not drop-in due to different pad layout and thermal profile |
| SMAJ10A | DO-214AC package, identical VBR/VC specs, but rated for 400 W only at 25 °C (derates faster above 75 °C) | Better suited for consumer-grade designs with lower ambient temperature constraints and cost-sensitive BOMs | Choose for cost-driven volume production where GL41's MELF reliability advantages are secondary to procurement simplicity |
Compared with TGL41-10A-E3/96, P4SMA10A-E3/96 offers higher peak power but requires PCB redesign, while SMAJ10A matches electrical specs at lower cost but lacks MELF's automated placement efficiency and MSL Level 1 reflow robustness.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-10A-E3/96 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-10A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V at 27.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at room temperature and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events, ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces.
Is the TGL41-10A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-10A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a blue band marking the cathode. It is designed for DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation. For AC or bidirectional signal lines, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the P4SMA10CA-E3/96 would be required instead of the TGL41-10A-E3/96.
What does the "E3" suffix indicate in TGL41-10A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix in TGL41-10A-E3/96 denotes RoHS-compliant construction and commercial-grade qualification, including matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, plus JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. This confirms suitability for lead-free reflow processes up to 250 °C peak temperature.
How does the GL41 (DO-213AB) package affect PCB layout for TGL41-10A-E3/96?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) package is a cylindrical MELF outline requiring symmetrical end-pad footprints with 0.185–0.205 inch center-to-center spacing. Unlike flat SMD packages, it demands precise stencil aperture design and placement accuracy to avoid tombstoning. Its compact size saves board area but requires compatible pick-and-place nozzle tooling for high-yield automated assembly of the TGL41-10A-E3/96.
Why is TGL41-10A-E3/96 marked "Not For New Designs"?
Vishay has designated the TGL41-10A-E3/96 as "Not For New Designs" because newer alternatives like the P4SMA10A-E3/96 offer improved surge ratings and broader qualification scope. However, the TGL41-10A-E3/96 remains fully supported for existing production and legacy design refreshes, with full datasheet compliance, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle management available through Aetrix Electronics.
