Product details
Overview
TGL41-120A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package, rated for 126 V breakdown voltage (VBR max), 102 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 165 V clamping voltage (VC) at 1.21 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), operates from −55 °C to +150 °C, and protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-120A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-120A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-120A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-120A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 1.21 A IPPM at 165 V clamping, 102 V working voltage margin, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated planar junction structure optimized for fast transient response (<1 ps typical) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability with 3.5 V maximum forward voltage at 25 A, enabling bidirectional protection when paired with complementary devices or used in DC-biased circuits.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature tolerance. Thermal derating begins above 25 °C ambient, maintaining 400 W pulse rating only up to TA = 25 °C; power dissipation drops to 1.0 W at TL = 75 °C on infinite heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 114 V / 126 V - Ensures reliable triggering above 102 V operating voltage while avoiding false clamping during normal operation |

| VC @ IPPM | 165 V @ 1.21 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to ≤165 V |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak transient energy absorption capacity under standard 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01% duty cycle |
| IFSM | 40 A - Single half-sine surge current rating (8.3 ms), supporting high-energy inductive load switching events |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Enables deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial motor controls without thermal derating loss |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - Cylindrical MELF outline with solderable ends; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a plastic MELF package with two solderable axial terminals. Polarity is marked by a blue band indicating the cathode (positive terminal under reverse-bias clamping condition). No internal pins-device functions as a two-terminal bilateral clamp with defined anode/cathode orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; defines clamping reference point |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing and clamping node | Connected to protected line; blue band identifies this terminal; conducts during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated planar junction | Enables stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<5 μA at VWM) across temperature and lifetime |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports EN 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity in industrial I/O protection designs |
| MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 | Allows unlimited floor life and single-reflow processing without baking; simplifies SMT manufacturing |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Ensures solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; eliminates whisker risk (JESD 201 Class 1A) |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Provides forward conduction path for DC bias networks while clamping negative transients to ground |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA120A-E3/96 | Same VWM (102 V), identical VC (165 V), but in SMA package (DO-214AC); 1.0 W steady-state power vs. TGL41's 1.0 W | SMA offers higher board-level robustness and easier manual rework; GL41 enables higher density and automated placement | Select P4SMA120A-E3/96 if board space allows larger footprint and hand-soldering is required |
| SMAJ120A | Identical electrical specs (VWM = 102 V, VC = 165 V, PPPM = 400 W), but non-RoHS legacy variant; same SMA package | No E3 suffix; lacks JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test compliance and RoHS documentation traceability | Choose SMAJ120A only for legacy repair or non-RoHS programs where compliance documentation is not mandated |
Compared with P4SMA120A-E3/96 and SMAJ120A, the TGL41-120A-E3/96 provides superior placement accuracy and thermal cycling reliability in high-volume automated assembly due to its MELF geometry and matte tin plating, while delivering identical clamping performance and surge handling.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-120A-E3/96 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-120A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 165 V at 1.21 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that protected circuitry will not experience voltages exceeding 165 V during specified surge events. The TGL41-120A-E3/96 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TGL41-120A-E3/96 suitable for new designs?
No - Vishay explicitly designates the TGL41-120A-E3/96 as "Not For New Designs" per document 88403 (Revision: 14-Nov-2023). Engineers developing new products should consider the recommended alternative, P4SMA120A-E3/96, which offers identical electrical performance in an SMA package. The TGL41-120A-E3/96 remains supported for existing production and legacy repair, but no future revisions or long-term availability commitments apply.
What does the "E3/96" suffix indicate in TGL41-120A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing qualification; "/96" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 1500 units per reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and satisfies IPC/JEDEC standards for lead-free assembly. The TGL41-120A-E3/96 thus meets commercial-grade environmental and manufacturability requirements out-of-box.
How does the GL41 (DO-213AB) package affect PCB layout for the TGL41-120A-E3/96?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) package requires a cylindrical pad layout with 0.185–0.205 inch center-to-center spacing and 0.018–0.022 inch pad width, per Vishay's outline drawing. Its MELF geometry supports automated placement but demands precise stencil aperture design to avoid tombstoning. Unlike flat-pack alternatives, the TGL41-120A-E3/96 needs symmetric thermal mass on both ends for even reflow wetting - critical for achieving J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reliability.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the TGL41-120A-E3/96?
The TGL41-120A-E3/96 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C. This rating decreases linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 5 in document 88403. At room temperature (25 °C), the device can sustain 1.0 W continuously; however, system-level thermal design must account for PCB copper area, airflow, and adjacent heat sources to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C. The TGL41-120A-E3/96 is not intended for continuous power regulation.
