Product details
Overview
TGL41-130A-E3/96 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), 124–137 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 179 V clamping voltage (VC) at 1.12 A peak pulse current - used to protect MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-130A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-130A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-130A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-130A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 5 μA max reverse leakage, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range (124–137 V), limiting transient energy to safe levels for downstream components. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low incremental surge resistance.
The device is optimized for single-pulse suppression with 10/1000 μs waveform compliance and 0.01% duty cycle capability. It features a blue band cathode marking, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V / 137 V - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins under 1.0 mA test current; critical for ensuring reliable clamping onset without false triggering. |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must exceed system's normal operating rail to prevent leakage or premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V at 1.12 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs transient; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected IC or MOSFET. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust protection against high-energy inductive spikes. |
| IR @ VWM | ≤5 μA - reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance circuits. |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - cylindrical plastic MELF case enabling automated placement and thermal performance suitable for surface-mount PCBs without heatsinking. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; supports operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a two-terminal axial plastic MELF package with cathode identified by a blue band. Terminals are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. No internal pins - device functions as a bilateral two-terminal clamp with polarity-dependent behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference terminal for forward bias; connects to lower-potential side of protected circuit | Under normal operation, anode is at lower potential than cathode; during transients, current flows from cathode to anode through avalanche path. |
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient energy sink; connects to higher-potential line or supply rail | Blue band marks cathode; must be connected toward the source of expected overvoltage (e.g., VCC, signal line input) to enable proper clamping action. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables protection against high-energy inductive load switching events without degradation across rated lifetime. |
| Glass-passivated junction | Provides stable VBR tolerance, low leakage, and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress. |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard SMT reflow profiles without preconditioning; eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Ensures flame retardancy in safety-critical industrial and telecom equipment meeting regulatory compliance. |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Simplifies design for DC-biased rails where reverse conduction is not required; avoids bidirectional capacitance trade-offs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA130A-E3/96 | Same VWM (111 V), identical VC (179 V), but in DO-214AC (SMA) package; 1.0 W PD, same 400 W PPPM | Surface-mount flat lead package offers easier manual rework and higher board-level mechanical robustness vs. MELF | Select P4SMA130A-E3/96 if PCB layout allows SMA footprint and rework accessibility is prioritized over MELF's automated placement efficiency. |
| SMAJ130A | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM), DO-214AC package, but non-RoHS-compliant base material and no E3 whisker testing | Lacks JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance and RoHS compliance; unsuitable for automotive or medical-grade production | Choose SMAJ130A only for cost-sensitive, non-regulated commercial prototypes where long-term tin whisker risk is acceptable. |
Compared with TGL41-130A-E3/96, P4SMA130A-E3/96 provides identical clamping performance in a more serviceable package, while SMAJ130A sacrifices compliance for lower unit cost - making TGL41-130A-E3/96 optimal for high-reliability industrial deployments requiring MELF form factor and full Vishay qualification.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TGL41-130A-E3/96?
The TGL41-130A-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 124 V to 137 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures predictable avalanche onset across manufacturing lots and temperature extremes, directly supporting design margin calculations for protected circuits.
Is TGL41-130A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TGL41-130A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in its datasheet features and electrical characteristics table. It conducts only when reverse-biased above VBR; for AC or bipolar signal line protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ130CA must be selected instead of TGL41-130A-E3/96.
What does the "E3/96" suffix mean in TGL41-130A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance; "/96" denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 1500 units. This configuration ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place machines and satisfies environmental compliance requirements for TGL41-130A-E3/96 deployment.
Does TGL41-130A-E3/96 require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes, TGL41-130A-E3/96 must be derated linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in its datasheet: peak pulse power decreases from 400 W at 25 °C to 200 W at 91 °C and further declines beyond that. The 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation also follows the derating curve shown in Figure 5, requiring thermal design consideration for TGL41-130A-E3/96 in enclosed enclosures.
Can TGL41-130A-E3/96 replace TGL41-130A without modification?
Yes, TGL41-130A-E3/96 is a direct replacement for TGL41-130A, sharing identical electrical specifications, GL41 package dimensions, and blue-band cathode marking. The E3/96 variant adds RoHS compliance, JESD 201 whisker resistance, and tape-and-reel packaging - all backward-compatible enhancements for TGL41-130A-E3/96 integration.
