Product details
Overview
TGL41-150A-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 143–158 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 128 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 207 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 0.97 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-150A-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-150A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-150A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-150A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 150 °C junction temperature rating, low leakage (<5 µA at VWM), and verified clamping performance under repetitive surge conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown range (143–158 V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping response across temperature.
The device is rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), derated above 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). Its blue band denotes cathode polarity, and it meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 143 V / 158 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VWM | 128 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 207 V at 0.97 A - clamped voltage during transient suppression, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - peak surge energy handling capacity under standard test waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current capability without bond wire failure |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in harsh industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Leakage @ VWM | <5 µA - minimal standby power loss and signal integrity impact in high-impedance circuits |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a plastic MELF surface-mount package with solderable matte tin-plated ends. The blue band identifies the cathode terminal, which is positive relative to the anode during normal TVS operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-biased operation | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms current path during clamping |
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient voltage sensing and conduction node | Connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic MELF package | Enables high-volume automated placement and robust thermal cycling reliability in compact layouts |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 % typical), low leakage, and long-term parameter stability |
| 400 W peak pulse power | Handles common IEC 61000-4-5 surge events (e.g., 2 Ω/12 Ω coupling networks) without degradation |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 250 °C peak without moisture-induced damage |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Simplifies layout and biasing for DC-biased lines such as power rails and sensor supply paths |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Sensor Interfaces |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and feedback circuits against inductive kickback from relay coils and solenoid switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping transient spikes on 24 V control lines before they reach isolated gate drivers or ADC inputs. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to microcontrollers and analog front-ends by limiting voltage to ≤207 V during 400 W surges. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceivers and temperature/pressure sensor outputs in engine control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acting as first-line transient suppressor on 12 V supply and signal lines exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. Use Value: Maintains signal fidelity and prevents false triggering by clamping transients within 1 ns response time while drawing <5 µA at 128 V. |
| Telecom Power Supplies | Consumer Appliance Control Boards |
Use Scenario: Input-stage protection for AC/DC adapters and PoE injectors subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS on primary-side DC bus to absorb 10/1000 µs surges before they propagate to PWM controllers. Use Value: Enables compliance with ITU-T K.20 and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 kV) without derating or parallel staging. | Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection for microcontroller I/O pins connected to push-button panels and display backlights. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized clamping on 5 V or 3.3 V rails feeding touch controllers and LED drivers. Use Value: Eliminates need for external series resistors or RC filters by providing sub-1 ns response and 207 V clamping at 0.97 A. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA150A-E3/73 | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 150 V VWM, 243 V VC at 1.23 A; 400 W rating | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; suited for board space where MELF placement is impractical | Select when PCB layout requires gull-wing leads or higher creepage distance than DO-213AB allows |
| SMAJ150A | DO-214AC package; 150 V VWM, 243 V VC at 1.23 A; 400 W rating; no E3 RoHS suffix | Same electrical specs but non-RoHS-compliant and not qualified to JESD 201 class 1A whisker test | Acceptable for legacy industrial designs where RoHS and whisker resistance are not mandated |
Compared with TGL41-150A-E3/97, P4SMA150A-E3/73 offers identical VWM and PPPM but requires PCB redesign due to SMA package, while SMAJ150A lacks RoHS compliance and whisker resistance - making TGL41-150A-E3/97 preferable for new automotive and medical-grade designs requiring MELF reliability and full compliance.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-150A-E3/97?
The TGL41-150A-E3/97 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 143 V to 158 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset in high-voltage protection circuits and aligns with its 128 V stand-off rating for reliable DC bias margin.
Is the TGL41-150A-E3/97 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TGL41-150A-E3/97 is suitable for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics, provided the design accounts for its -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and unidirectional polarity. It meets requirements for ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression on 12 V/24 V lines when applied per Vishay's recommended layout guidelines.
Does the TGL41-150A-E3/97 have a bidirectional variant?
No, the TGL41-150A-E3/97 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 14-Nov-2023. Bidirectional variants are not offered in the TGL41 family; designers requiring symmetrical clamping must select alternate families such as the SMBJ or SMCJ series with "CA" suffixes.
What does the "E3/97" suffix indicate in TGL41-150A-E3/97?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction and JESD 201 class 1A whisker resistance qualification; "/97" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 5000 units per reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and satisfies IPC/JEDEC assembly standards for lead-free manufacturing.
Why is the TGL41-150A-E3/97 marked as "Not For New Designs"?
The "Not For New Designs" designation applies to the entire TGL41 family per Vishay document 88403 (rev. 14-Nov-2023), indicating Vishay recommends newer alternatives like the P4SMA series for future designs. However, TGL41-150A-E3/97 remains fully supported, in active production, and available for existing designs requiring DO-213AB MELF form factor and proven field reliability.
