Product details

Overview

TGL41-13-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for surge protection on signal and power lines. It features 12.4 V to 13.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 11.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 18.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial and telecom equipment against inductive switching transients.

For engineers reviewing the TGL41-13-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-13-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-13-E3/97 application, or TGL41-13-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility with automated placement, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow).

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 ensures stable breakdown characteristics and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5.

The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power at 25 °C (derated above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2), with clamping performance validated at 22.0 A IPPM delivering ≤18.2 V across the terminals - critical for safeguarding 12 V rail interfaces and low-voltage logic inputs without overstressing downstream components.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
VBR (min/max)12.4 V / 13.7 V - defines reliable conduction onset range under 1 mA test current; ensures consistent turn-on before protected circuit exceeds safe voltage limits
VWM11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; allows safe operation below system nominal 12 V supply with margin
IPPM22.0 A - peak surge current capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports robust protection against common industrial transients

Pinout & Package

DO-213AB (GL41) is a cylindrical plastic MELF package with solderable matte tin-plated ends. The blue band identifies the cathode terminal, which connects to the positive side of the protected line during transient clamping. Anode is the unmarked end.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
Cathode (blue band)Surge current sinkConnected to protected line; conducts transient energy to ground path when VLINE exceeds VBR
AnodeReference/ground returnTypically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during overvoltage events

Applications

Industrial Motor ControlAutomotive Sensor Interface

Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and feedback circuits in 24 V DC motor controllers exposed to inductive kickback from solenoids and contactors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS diode placed across MOSFET drain-source or controller supply pins to clamp voltage spikes up to 100 V.

Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤18.2 V at 22 A, preventing latch-up or oxide damage in 30 V-rated gate drivers while maintaining <11.1 V standby leakage.

Use Scenario: Shielding LIN bus transceivers and Hall-effect sensor outputs in engine bay modules subject to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected between signal line and chassis ground to suppress fast-rising noise without interfering with DC bias.

Use Value: Responds in <1 ns to 100 V/µs edges, limiting peak excursion to 18.2 V and preserving signal integrity for 5 V tolerant receivers.

Telecom Power Supply InputConsumer Appliance Control Board

Use Scenario: Input-stage surge protection on 12 V auxiliary rails feeding PoE-powered switch controllers and baseband processors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device upstream of LDOs and DC-DC converters, absorbing energy from lightning-induced surges on AC/DC front-end outputs.

Use Value: Handles 400 W peak pulses with <0.1 % duty cycle, enabling compliance with ITU-T K.20 and GR-1089-CORE immunity requirements.

Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins and EEPROM lines in washing machine main boards subjected to relay bounce and pump motor switching.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-load TVS on 3.3 V and 5 V signal traces connecting user interface buttons and display drivers.

Use Value: Limits clamping voltage to 18.2 V while drawing <5 µA leakage at 11.1 V, avoiding false triggering or power drain in battery-backed systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SMBJ12ADO-214AA (SMB) package; 12 V VWM, 19.9 V VC @ 21.7 A; 600 W PPPMHigher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for PCB space-constrained but thermally robust designsSelect SMBJ12A when board layout permits larger SMT package and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for 12 V rail protection
P6SMB12ASame DO-214AA package; identical VWM/VC specs but rated for 600 W; higher IPPM (21.7 A)Requires different pad layout and thermal relief; not drop-in compatible with DO-213AB footprintChoose P6SMB12A only if upgrading from TGL41-13-E3/97 to higher-power protection and redesigning layout for SMB outline

Compared with SMBJ12A and P6SMB12A, the TGL41-13-E3/97 offers superior fit for high-density automated assembly via its compact DO-213AB MELF form factor, lower profile, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility - making it optimal for space-limited industrial modules where thermal mass is managed externally.

FAQ

What is the polarity configuration of the TGL41-13-E3/97?

The TGL41-13-E3/97 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with polarity indicated by a blue band marking the cathode terminal. During normal operation, the cathode is held at a higher potential than the anode; it conducts only when reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. This configuration suits DC-biased lines such as 12 V sensor supplies or MOSFET gate drive rails where forward conduction must be blocked.

Does the TGL41-13-E3/97 meet JEDEC moisture sensitivity level requirements?

Yes, the TGL41-13-E3/97 meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 250 °C. No floor life limitation or baking preconditioning is required prior to surface-mount assembly, supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles used in high-volume manufacturing of industrial and telecom equipment.

What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-13-E3/97 under full-rated surge conditions?

The TGL41-13-E3/97 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events.

Can the TGL41-13-E3/97 be used in bidirectional signal line protection?

No, the TGL41-13-E3/97 is specified for unidirectional polarity only and lacks symmetrical breakdown characteristics. For bidirectional protection (e.g., USB data lines or RS-485 buses), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMAJ12CA or TPSMD12CA must be selected instead - the TGL41-13-E3/97 would not provide adequate clamping during negative-going transients.

What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the TGL41-13-E3/97?

The TGL41-13-E3/97 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W at TL = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink. This rating applies to continuous DC or low-frequency leakage conditions - not transient events - and reflects thermal limits under sustained reverse bias at elevated ambient temperatures.
