Product details
Overview
TGL41-200A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 190–210 V breakdown voltage, and 274 V clamping voltage at 0.73 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-200A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-200A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-200A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-200A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 171 V stand-off voltage, 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
The TGL41-200A-E3/96 uses a glass-passivated planar chip junction to achieve fast response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction only during overvoltage events, with clamping action triggered above 190 V breakdown threshold.
Designed for automated placement in high-reliability applications, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature tolerance and UL 94 V-0 flammability-rated molding compound.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers and feedback sensing circuits in variable-frequency drives subjected to IGBT switching noise and coil back-EMF. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed across DC bus or gate resistor to clamp voltage spikes before they reach sensitive control ICs. Use Value: 274 V clamping at 0.73 A prevents latch-up in isolated gate drivers operating at 171 V nominal bus voltage. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding AC-DC converter output rails and PoE interface circuitry against lightning-induced surges on telecom central office equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection device mounted at secondary-side DC output, absorbing repetitive 10/1000 μs transients from coupled primary-side surges. Use Value: 400 W peak pulse rating sustains repeated 1 kV surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 without parameter shift. |
| Automotive Sensor Signal Lines | Computer Peripheral Port Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding LIN bus and analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control modules from battery dump and load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-use TVS on PCB traces connecting microcontroller ADC inputs to external sensors. Use Value: 171 V VWM allows compatibility with 12 V/24 V automotive systems while maintaining margin against ISO 16750-2 load-dump pulses. | Use Scenario: Securing USB 2.0 data lines and HDMI hot-plug detection pins in desktop motherboards and docking stations against ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional suppressor placed inline with differential signal pairs to limit overshoot without distorting signal integrity. Use Value: Fast response time and <5 μA leakage at 171 V ensure no impact on signal eye diagram or link training stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA200A-E3/54 | Same 200 V standoff, but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating, 274 V clamping, 0.73 A IPPM | Surface-mount flat lead vs. cylindrical MELF; requires different land pattern and pick-and-place tooling | Select when board space constraints favor rectangular SMD footprint over axial MELF geometry |
| SMBJ200A | 200 V VWM, 300 W PPPM, 328 V VC @ 0.61 A; DO-214AA package | Lower pulse power and higher clamping voltage reduce protection margin for high-energy transients | Acceptable for lower-risk consumer-grade interfaces where 400 W headroom is not required |
Compared with P4SMA200A-E3/54 and SMBJ200A, the TGL41-200A-E3/96 delivers identical electrical protection performance in a compact MELF form factor optimized for high-density automated assembly, while offering superior thermal dissipation via its cylindrical geometry and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-200A-E3/96 under specified test conditions?
The TGL41-200A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 0.73 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is the TGL41-200A-E3/96 suitable for new designs?
No - the TGL41-200A-E3/96 is marked "Not For New Designs" in Vishay's official documentation. Vishay recommends the P4SMA200A-E3 series as an alternative. Engineers designing new products should evaluate P4SMA200A-E3/54 or other actively supported equivalents, while TGL41-200A-E3/96 remains viable for legacy production and repair programs.
What does the "E3/96" suffix indicate in TGL41-200A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while "/96" specifies packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 1500 units. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and satisfies commercial-grade environmental compliance requirements.
Does the TGL41-200A-E3/96 have bidirectional capability?
No - the TGL41-200A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in its datasheet features and electrical characteristics table. It conducts in reverse avalanche mode to clamp positive transients on the cathode side and must be oriented with the blue band toward the protected line. Bidirectional variants are not offered in the TGL41 family.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TGL41-200A-E3/96 above 25 °C ambient?
The TGL41-200A-E3/96 follows a linear derating curve for peak pulse power above TA = 25 °C, as shown in Figure 2 of its datasheet. At 91 °C ambient, its PPPM rating drops to 200 W; above that temperature, derating continues until reaching zero at approximately 175 °C. Continuous power dissipation (PD) remains fixed at 1.0 W regardless of ambient, assuming infinite heatsink conditions.
