Product details
Overview
TGL41-10A-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), 9.5–10.5 V breakdown voltage, and 14.5 V clamping voltage at 27.6 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-10A-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-10A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-10A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-10A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 8.55 V stand-off voltage, 10 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, 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 and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining 8.55 V stand-off capability under normal operation.
The device operates within -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak. Clamping occurs at 14.5 V when subjected to 27.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform), limiting energy dissipation to protect downstream silicon.
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 clamping |
| VWM | 8.55 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 10 μA; sets safe operating margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 14.5 V - Clamped voltage seen by protected IC/MOSFET during 27.6 A transient, defining voltage stress limit |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling for 10/1000 μs waveform; determines survivability of common lightning/surge events |
| IFSM | 40 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge rating; supports robustness against repetitive inductive turn-off spikes |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in high-temperature environments such as enclosed industrial power modules |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Requires cathode (blue band) connected to higher potential; not suitable for AC line protection without external rectification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA10A-E3/97 | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; 10.0–11.1 V VBR; 16.7 V VC @ 24.0 A; 400 W rating | Surface-mount flat lead vs. MELF cylindrical; requires PCB pad revision; lower thermal mass | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where board space permits SMA footprint and reflow profile accommodates lower thermal mass |
| SMBJ10A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 10.0–11.1 V VBR; 17.0 V VC @ 23.5 A; 600 W rating | Larger case size increases creepage/clearance; higher clamping voltage reduces protection margin | Prefer when higher pulse energy (600 W) is required and PCB layout allows SMB footprint; verify 17.0 V clamping aligns with protected device ratings |
Compared with P4SMA10A-E3/97 and SMBJ10A, the TGL41-10A-E3/97 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%), lower clamping voltage (14.5 V vs. ≥16.7 V), and superior thermal performance in MELF form factor-critical for high-density industrial power modules where airflow is limited.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range specified for TGL41-10A-E3/97?
The TGL41-10A-E3/97 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 9.5 V to 10.5 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping initiation across production lots and temperature extremes from -55 °C to +150 °C, directly supporting robust design margins in critical power circuits using the TGL41-10A-E3/97.
Does TGL41-10A-E3/97 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the TGL41-10A-E3/97 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C, meeting J-STD-020 MSL level 1 requirements. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the E3 suffix confirms JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance-ensuring long-term interconnect integrity in production assemblies using the TGL41-10A-E3/97.
What is the clamping voltage of TGL41-10A-E3/97 under standard surge conditions?
The TGL41-10A-E3/97 clamps to a maximum of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated 27.6 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform), as verified per Figure 5 in Vishay document 88403. This low clamping voltage-combined with 400 W pulse power handling-provides superior protection margin for 12 V rail components compared to alternatives with ≥16.7 V clamping, making the TGL41-10A-E3/97 especially effective in sensitive power stage designs.
Is TGL41-10A-E3/97 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-10A-E3/97 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a blue band and designed to conduct only when anode is negative relative to cathode. For bidirectional protection, two TGL41-10A-E3/97 devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ10CA should be selected-never substitute the TGL41-10A-E3/97 in AC-coupled or symmetrical signal line applications without verifying polarity constraints.
What does the "/97" suffix indicate in TGL41-10A-E3/97?
Per Vishay ordering information, the "/97" suffix in TGL41-10A-E3/97 specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 5000 units. This contrasts with "/96", which denotes 7-inch tape-and-reel (1500 units). Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications; the "/97" variant is optimized for high-volume SMT production lines requiring extended reel capacity and reduced changeover frequency for the TGL41-10A-E3/97.
