Product details
Overview
TGL41-150-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 143–158 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 207 V clamping voltage (VC) at 0.97 A peak pulse current - used to protect MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-150-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-150-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-150-E3/96 application, or TGL41-150-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 128 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 5 μA max reverse leakage, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective clamping of transient overvoltages before sensitive downstream components are stressed. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased protection paths where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak. It is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits a +0.111 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring predictable voltage drift under thermal variation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ150A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 150 V VWM; 243 V VC @ 1.23 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for PCBs with relaxed layout constraints | Select SMBJ150A if higher surge margin and surface-mount compatibility outweigh MELF placement requirements |
| 1.5KE150A | DO-201AD (Axial) package; 150 V VWM; 243 V VC @ 1.23 A; 1500 W PPPM | Higher power rating but axial leads limit automated assembly; intended for chassis-level primary protection | Choose 1.5KE150A only for first-stage protection where board space permits axial mounting and higher energy handling is critical |
Compared with SMBJ150A and 1.5KE150A, TGL41-150-E3/96 offers superior manufacturability in high-speed pick-and-place lines due to its MELF geometry, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs ±10 %), and lower thermal resistance in compact layouts - making it optimal for secondary-level protection near ICs.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TGL41-150-E3/96?
The TGL41-150-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 143 V to 158 V at 1.0 mA test current, as specified in the Vishay datasheet document 88403. This tight ±5 % tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for protecting 125 V–150 V DC systems. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards.
Does TGL41-150-E3/96 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, TGL41-150-E3/96 is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the E3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance - making it suitable for high-reliability industrial and automotive assemblies.
How does the clamping voltage of TGL41-150-E3/96 compare to its stand-off voltage?
TGL41-150-E3/96 has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 128 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 207 V at 0.97 A peak pulse current. This 79 V differential represents the device's overvoltage margin - sufficient to protect 150 V-rated components while avoiding false triggering during normal operation. The ratio VC/VWM ≈ 1.62 reflects optimized silicon design for low clamping overshoot.
Can TGL41-150-E3/96 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, TGL41-150-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It features a blue band marking the cathode and conducts only when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by ≥VBR. For bidirectional AC-line protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., TGL41-150CA) or back-to-back unidirectional configuration would be required - TGL41-150-E3/96 alone cannot suppress negative-going transients.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TGL41-150-E3/96 at rated VWM?
At its rated stand-off voltage of 128 V and TA = 25 °C, TGL41-150-E3/96 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5 μA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on protection circuits and avoids interference with high-impedance sensor inputs or battery-backed systems where quiescent current is critical.
