Product details
Overview
TGL41-15-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 power and signal lines. It features 14.3 V to 15.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 12.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 18.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 21.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, used in consumer electronics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-15-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-15-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-15-E3/96 application, or TGL41-15-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 12.8 V working voltage margin, 21.2 V clamping performance under 18.9 A surge, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations meeting JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above its 12.8 V stand-off threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<5 µA at VWM), while the MELF package enables automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
It delivers 400 W peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01% duty cycle, derated linearly above 25 °C ambient, and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, and thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is optimized for surface-mount PCB dissipation without heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 14.3 V / 15.8 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 12.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA; sets safe operating margin below VBR |
| IPPM | 18.9 A - peak transient current it safely clamps at 10/1000 µs waveform without failure |
| VC @ IPPM | 21.2 V - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated surge; determines downstream IC survivability |
| PPPM | 400 W - transient energy absorption capacity under standard 10/1000 µs test condition |
| PD | 1.0 W - steady-state power dissipation limit on infinite heatsink at 75 °C lead temperature |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature defining thermal design headroom for PCB layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ15A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 15 V VWM; 24.4 V VC @ 24.9 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for board space–constrained but thermally robust designs | Select when PCB layout allows SMB footprint and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for protected ICs |
| 1.5KE15CA | DO-201AE (Axial) package; bidirectional; 15 V VWM; 24.4 V VC @ 24.9 A; 1500 W PPPM | Through-hole mounting; bidirectional capability; higher surge rating but no MELF automation support | Choose for legacy through-hole assemblies or AC-coupled signal lines requiring symmetrical clamping |
Compared with SMBJ15A and 1.5KE15CA, the TGL41-15-E3/96 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%), lower profile MELF packaging for high-speed placement, and optimized 21.2 V clamping for 12 V system compatibility-making it preferable where precision clamping and SMT scalability are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TGL41-15-E3/96?
The TGL41-15-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 14.3 V to 15.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes, making TGL41-15-E3/96 suitable for designs requiring tight overvoltage threshold control.
Does TGL41-15-E3/96 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, TGL41-15-E3/96 is strictly unidirectional, with a blue band marking the cathode. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode, making it appropriate for DC-biased lines like 12 V power rails or LIN bus. For AC or bidirectional signal lines, a different part such as 1.5KE15CA must be selected-TGL41-15-E3/96 does not provide symmetrical clamping.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-15-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-15-E3/96 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 21.2 V when subjected to its rated 18.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events, directly impacting downstream IC survivability.
Is TGL41-15-E3/96 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TGL41-15-E3/96 carries the E3 suffix indicating RoHS compliance and qualification for lead-free soldering. Its matte tin-plated terminations meet J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 standards, and the device is rated for a maximum lead temperature (TL) of 250 °C, supporting standard Pb-free reflow profiles including JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 handling.
How does the DO-213AB package of TGL41-15-E3/96 compare to SOD-123 in thermal performance?
The DO-213AB (GL41) package of TGL41-15-E3/96 provides greater thermal mass and lower junction-to-lead thermal resistance than SOD-123, enabling higher transient energy absorption without excessive temperature rise. Its cylindrical geometry also improves airflow cooling and mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments-key advantages over planar SOD-123 in industrial and automotive deployments of TGL41-15-E3/96.
