Product details
Overview
TGL41-10-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for surge protection of sensitive electronics. It features 9.5 V to 10.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 8.55 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 14.5 V clamping voltage at 27.6 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-10-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-10-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-10-E3/97 application, or TGL41-10-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compatibility with automated placement on PCBs requiring RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 1 components.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with cathode marked by a blue band, enabling clamping only during reverse overvoltage events. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low incremental surge resistance, critical for consistent transient suppression across temperature.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for surge testing and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 250 °C), supporting lead-free assembly. Its 0.076 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR ensures predictable voltage drift under thermal stress in embedded power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.5 V / 10.5 V - defines precise reverse breakdown threshold for reliable triggering above normal operating voltage |
| VWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 10 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 14.5 V - clamping voltage at 27.6 A peak pulse current, limiting downstream voltage stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, duty cycle ≤ 0.01 % |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine), supports inrush tolerance |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature, sets thermal derating boundary for PCB layout and heatsinking |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - requires correct orientation (blue band = cathode) to protect against negative transients only |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB (GL41) - cylindrical plastic MELF case with solderable matte tin-plated ends; 0.105" (2.67 mm) diameter, 0.238" (6.0 mm) length; MSL Level 1 compliant; RoHS-compliant E3 suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected circuit; carries forward surge current up to 40 A |
| Cathode (blue band) | Reverse breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential side; initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR and low leakage (<10 µA at VWM) across -55 °C to 150 °C operating range |
| Plastic MELF (DO-213AB) package | Enables high-density automated placement and supports reflow profiles up to 250 °C peak |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Provides robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without degradation |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes clamping voltage overshoot during fast transients, improving system-level immunity |
| Uni-directional polarity only | Optimized for DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 10 V VWM; 17 V VC @ 32.4 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for higher-energy surges but less space-efficient | Select SMBJ10A when board area allows and clamping voltage margin >7 V is acceptable |
| P6KE10A | DO-15 axial package; 10 V VWM; 16.7 V VC @ 24.2 A; 600 W PPPM; slower response due to higher junction capacitance | Manual assembly required; not MSL Level 1; unsuitable for high-speed automated production | Choose P6KE10A only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping with hand-soldering |
Compared with SMBJ10A and P6KE10A, the TGL41-10-E3/97 offers superior space efficiency in MELF format, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %), and guaranteed MSL Level 1 compliance - making it optimal for high-volume SMT production of compact industrial and telecom modules.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TGL41-10-E3/97?
The TGL41-10-E3/97 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 9.5 V minimum to 10.5 V maximum at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight ±5 % tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and temperature extremes from -55 °C to 150 °C.
Does TGL41-10-E3/97 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the TGL41-10-E3/97 is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 250 °C, fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements, and the E3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing.
Can TGL41-10-E3/97 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TGL41-10-E3/97 is unidirectional only, with cathode identified by a blue band. It conducts and clamps only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. For bidirectional protection, a separate pair of unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMAJ10CA must be used - the TGL41-10-E3/97 does not provide symmetrical clamping.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-10-E3/97 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-10-E3/97 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 27.6 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for downstream circuit voltage margining in designs protecting 12 V logic interfaces and MOSFET gates.
How does the DO-213AB (GL41) package of TGL41-10-E3/97 compare to SMB or DO-15 alternatives?
The DO-213AB (GL41) package of TGL41-10-E3/97 offers smaller footprint and lower profile than SMB (DO-214AA) or DO-15 packages, enabling higher board density. Its cylindrical MELF geometry supports automated pick-and-place with high placement accuracy, unlike axial DO-15, and provides superior thermal performance per unit volume compared to flat-pack SMB variants.
