Product details
Overview
TGL41-110A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 105–116 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 94.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 152 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.32 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-110A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-110A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-110A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-110A-E3/96 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mechanical package details, real-world protection use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned with Vishay Document #88403 (Rev. 14-Nov-2023).
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 suppression of ESD and inductive switching spikes. Its unidirectional polarity and blue-band cathode marking ensure correct orientation during automated placement on PCBs.
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 delivers 400 W peak pulse power at 25 °C, derating linearly above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2, with 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V - Ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false clamping during normal operation. |
| VWM | 94.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA; sets safe margin below VBR. |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V at 1.32 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs transient; defines worst-case stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak transient energy handling capability under standard 10/1000 µs waveform; sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Maximum non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports robustness against accidental polarity reversal events. |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - Enables deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - MELF-style cylindrical package with matte tin-plated leads; optimized for high-reliability automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a plastic MELF package with two solderable axial terminals. The blue band denotes the cathode (positive terminal under reverse-bias clamping conditions). No internal pins - device functions as a two-terminal bidirectional clamp in unidirectional configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); defines directionality of clamping action. |
| Cathode (blue band) | Clamping output node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 90 V DC rail); conducts during overvoltage to shunt current to anode/ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity up to 1 kV open-circuit / 500 A short-circuit test levels in typical layouts. |
| Glass passivated planar junction | Delivers stable VBR tolerance (±5 %), low leakage (<5 µA at VWM), and long-term reliability under thermal cycling. |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak) | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns; eliminates bake requirements prior to SMT. |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Simplifies layout and reduces risk of misapplication versus bidirectional variants; ideal for DC-biased rails like 48 V telecom or 100 V industrial supplies. |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability; suitable for commercial and industrial end-equipment certifications. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Control | Telecom DC Power Input Protection |

| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller I/Os from load dump and jump-start transients in 12 V vehicle systems upgraded to 24 V architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed at connector entry point to divert surge current away from sensitive analog front-ends.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA110A-E3/96 | Same VWM (94 V), identical VC (152 V), but in DO-214AC (SMA) package - 2.5× larger footprint, higher thermal mass. | Preferred where board space allows and higher steady-state power dissipation (1.0 W vs. TGL41's 1.0 W) is needed with improved heat spreading. | Select P4SMA110A-E3/96 if manual rework or wave soldering is used; TGL41-110A-E3/96 remains optimal for high-density MELF-optimized layouts. |
| SMAJ110A | Same electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM), but rated for 1.5 kW peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) and packaged in DO-214AC. | Used in higher-energy surge environments (e.g., AC mains input stages) where 400 W is insufficient; not drop-in due to different package and thermal profile. | Choose SMAJ110A only when system-level testing confirms need for >400 W clamping; otherwise TGL41-110A-E3/96 provides superior cost and density for DC rail protection. |
Compared with P4SMA110A-E3/96 and SMAJ110A, the TGL41-110A-E3/96 offers identical clamping performance in a compact MELF package optimized for automated placement and high-reliability thermal cycling - making it preferred for space-constrained industrial and telecom DC power designs where 400 W pulse rating suffices.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TGL41-110A-E3/96?
The TGL41-110A-E3/96 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 105 V to 116 V at 1.0 mA test current, per Vishay Document #88403. This ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots and supports design margining for 94.0 V maximum working voltage (VWM). The tolerance reflects process-controlled planar junction characteristics.
Is TGL41-110A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-110A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the "Polarity" section of its datasheet. It must be oriented with the blue band (cathode) toward the protected line and anode toward reference ground. For bidirectional applications, a separate part such as TGL41-110CA would be required - not the TGL41-110A-E3/96.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-110A-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-110A-E3/96 clamps to a maximum of 152 V at 1.32 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for validating downstream component voltage ratings.
Does TGL41-110A-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the "E3" suffix in TGL41-110A-E3/96 indicates full RoHS compliance, matte tin-plated leads, and qualification to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. It supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 250 °C peak (MSL Level 1), with no pre-bake required - verified in Vishay Document #88403, Section "Mechanical Data".
Why is TGL41-110A-E3/96 marked as "Not For New Designs"?
Vishay designates TGL41-110A-E3/96 as "Not For New Designs" because newer platforms like the P4SMA series offer enhanced surge robustness and broader voltage coverage. However, TGL41-110A-E3/96 remains fully supported for existing designs, with active manufacturing, full datasheet documentation, and guaranteed supply through Aetrix Electronics' continuity programs.
