Product details
Overview
TGL41-120-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 114 V to 126 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 102 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 1.21 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 165 V clamping voltage (VC) at 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 TGL41-120-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-120-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-120-E3/96 application, or TGL41-120-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility with automated placement, 150 °C max junction temperature, low 0.110 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode denoted by a blue band and forward voltage of 3.5 V at 25 A. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing inductive switching spikes.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A 8.3 ms half-sine IFSM rating support robust surge handling in commercial-grade applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 114 V / 126 V - ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage while avoiding false clamping |
| VWM | 102 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA, defining safe operating margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 165 V - clamped voltage during 1.21 A transient, limiting stress on downstream ICs or MOSFETs |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - peak transient energy absorption capacity under standard waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current withstand capability for repetitive inductive turn-off events |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature enabling operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| Temp. coeff. of VBR | 0.110 %/°C - low drift ensures stable clamping threshold across temperature range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | DO-214AA package; 110 V VWM; 177 V VC @ 1.13 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage but greater surge margin; requires larger PCB footprint | Select when higher peak power handling is needed and board space allows SMB footprint |
| P6SMB120A | DO-214AA package; 120 V VWM; 165 V VC @ 1.21 A; same clamping as TGL41-120-E3/96 but 600 W PPPM | Identical clamping performance with enhanced surge rating; not MELF-form factor | Choose for drop-in replacement where DO-214AA layout exists and MELF placement is not required |
Compared with SMBJ110A and P6SMB120A, the TGL41-120-E3/96 offers identical 165 V clamping at 1.21 A but in a compact, high-reliability MELF package optimized for automated placement and thermal cycling endurance-ideal for space-constrained industrial modules requiring long-term stability.
