Product details
Overview
TGL41-130A-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 124 V to 137 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 111 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 1.12 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 179 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). Used to protect MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-130A-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-130A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-130A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-130A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility, 111 V working voltage margin, 179 V clamping performance under 1.12 A surge, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges on sensitive inputs.
The GL41 package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. With MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and maximum junction temperature of 150 °C, it sustains operation in thermally demanding industrial environments while maintaining stable VBR temperature coefficient of 0.110 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 124 V to 137 V - defines reliable avalanche conduction onset range under 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 111 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 μA, ensuring no false triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 179 V - clamped voltage during 1.12 A 10/1000 μs transient, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with standard 10/1000 μs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without degradation, supporting motor drive interface protection |
| Junction temp. range | –55 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA130A-E3/97 | Same VWM (111 V) and VC (179 V), but SMA package (DO-214AC); 1.0 W steady-state power vs. TGL41's 1.0 W | Suitable for PCB layouts requiring surface-mount gull-wing leads instead of MELF geometry | Select P4SMA130A-E3/97 when board space allows larger footprint and automated optical inspection (AOI) is preferred over MELF's cylindrical profile |
| SMBJ130A-E3/52 | Higher PPPM (600 W), same VWM/VC, SMB package (DO-214AA); 1.0 W PD, 100 A IFSM | Better suited for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., AC mains input stages) where 400 W is marginal | Choose SMBJ130A-E3/52 when protecting 120 VAC rectified rails or where IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave testing requires >400 W margin |
Compared with TGL41-130A-E3/97, P4SMA130A-E3/97 offers identical electrical protection in a more inspectable package, while SMBJ130A-E3/52 delivers 50% higher surge capacity at the cost of larger footprint and higher system-level capacitance-making TGL41-130A-E3/97 optimal for compact, high-density industrial DC signal protection.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TGL41-130A-E3/97?
The TGL41-130A-E3/97 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 124 V to 137 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing ±5.4% tolerance around the nominal 130 V rating. This tight distribution ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports predictable system-level surge margin calculations without overspecifying downstream components.
Does TGL41-130A-E3/97 support lead-free reflow assembly?
Yes, TGL41-130A-E3/97 is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, and its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The GL41 package is fully compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including ramp-to-spike and soak profiles, without delamination or voiding concerns.
Is TGL41-130A-E3/97 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TGL41-130A-E3/97 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts only when the cathode (blue band) is positive relative to the anode. For AC or bipolar signal lines requiring symmetrical clamping, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ130CA-E3/52 must be used instead of TGL41-130A-E3/97.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-130A-E3/97 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TGL41-130A-E3/97 is 179 V at 1.12 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during standardized surge events.
How does the GL41 package of TGL41-130A-E3/97 compare to SMA in thermal performance?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package of TGL41-130A-E3/97 provides superior thermal dissipation compared to SMA (DO-214AC) due to its cylindrical geometry and larger surface-area-to-volume ratio. At 1.0 W steady-state power, TGL41-130A-E3/97 achieves lower junction temperature rise than P4SMA130A-E3/97 under identical PCB copper area, extending lifetime in thermally constrained enclosures.
