Product details
Overview
TGL41-13-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 12.4 V to 13.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 11.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 18.2 V clamping voltage at 22.0 A peak pulse current (VC/IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-13-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-13-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-13-E3/96 application, or TGL41-13-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 11.1 V working voltage margin, 18.2 V clamping performance under 22 A surge, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode marked by a blue band and anode as the unmarked end. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing ESD and inductive switching spikes before sensitive downstream circuitry is damaged.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature 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 forward surge capability support robust protection in high-reliability industrial and telecom interfaces without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 12.4 V / 13.7 V - ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage while avoiding false clamping during transients near VWM |
| VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage the device blocks without leakage exceeding 5 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 22.0 A - clamping voltage limits stress on protected ICs during 10/1000 μs surges |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity under standard 10/1000 μs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without bond wire failure or junction degradation |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - cylindrical MELF outline enabling automated placement and high thermal mass for pulse handling |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a plastic MELF package with solderable matte tin-plated ends. The blue band denotes the cathode (positive terminal under reverse-bias clamping); the unmarked end is the anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient clamp output node | Connected to protected line; sinks surge current to ground when VLINE exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane to complete clamping loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables sub-nanosecond response and stable VBR over lifetime, critical for ESD immunity in sensor interfaces |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles repetitive inductive switch-off spikes in motor drives without derating below 25 °C ambient |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or baking |
| Uni-directional polarity only | Simplifies layout by eliminating bidirectional ambiguity; blue-band cathode provides unambiguous orientation for AOI inspection |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability for safety-critical assemblies |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Protection | Automotive Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppresses voltage spikes generated by relay coil de-energization and H-bridge shoot-through in PLC output modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS diode placed across relay coil or MOSFET drain-source to clamp inductive kickback before it reaches driver ICs. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤18.2 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 12 V logic-level MOSFETs used in I/O stages. | Use Scenario: Protects analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors connected to CAN or LIN bus nodes against load dump and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed between sensor VOUT and ground to shunt transients induced by nearby high-current switching. Use Value: Withstands 22 A peak pulses while maintaining 11.1 V working margin - sufficient for 5 V or 12 V sensor supply rails with ±10 % tolerance. |
| Telecom Power Supply Input Clamping | Consumer Appliance Control Board Surge Protection |
Use Scenario: Guards AC-DC adapter input rectifier stage against lightning-induced surges entering via mains lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed across bulk capacitor input to clamp differential-mode surges before they stress bridge rectifier or primary-side controller. Use Value: 400 W rating handles 10/1000 μs surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (2 kV), with 18.2 V clamping limiting stress on 24 V-rated input capacitors. | Use Scenario: Shields microcontroller GPIOs and display backlight drivers from ESD events during user interface interaction. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted directly at connector entry points on PCB edge to intercept human-body-model (HBM) discharges before trace routing. Use Value: Sub-ns response time and 12.4–13.7 V VBR ensure clamping initiates before 15 kV HBM pulses exceed MCU I/O absolute maximum ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ12A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 12 V nominal VWM; 19.9 V VC @ 21.1 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for board space-constrained but thermally robust designs | Select SMBJ12A when higher surge margin and PCB real estate allow larger SMT package; not drop-in due to different pad layout and thermal profile |
| P6SMB12A | Same DO-214AA package as SMBJ12A; identical electrical specs but legacy packaging and lower production volume | Longer lead times and limited lifecycle visibility; same mounting requirements as SMBJ12A | Prefer SMBJ12A over P6SMB12A for new designs due to active manufacturing status and broader distributor availability |
Compared with TGL41-13-E3/96, SMBJ12A offers higher surge rating but requires PCB redesign for DO-214AA pads and delivers 1.7 V higher clamping voltage; P6SMB12A matches SMBJ12A electrically but lacks long-term supply assurance - making TGL41-13-E3/96 optimal for compact MELF-based layouts needing precise 11.1 V standoff and 18.2 V clamping.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range specified for TGL41-13-E3/96?
The TGL41-13-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 12.4 V minimum to 13.7 V maximum at 1.0 mA test current, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88403. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable design margining against system operating voltages.
Does TGL41-13-E3/96 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, TGL41-13-E3/96 is strictly unidirectional. Its blue band marks the cathode, and it conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. Bidirectional protection requires two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS - the TGL41 series is not rated or characterized for reverse conduction.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-13-E3/96 and under what test condition?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TGL41-13-E3/96 is 18.2 V, measured at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Is TGL41-13-E3/96 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, TGL41-13-E3/96 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102, ensuring reliable wetting and intermetallic formation without voiding or dewetting.
What does the "E3/96" suffix indicate in TGL41-13-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while "/96" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 1500 units - a standard logistics format for automated SMT placement equipment used in high-volume manufacturing of TGL41-13-E3/96.
