Product details
Overview
TGL41-200A-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic 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-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-200A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-200A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-200A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility, 171 V stand-off voltage, 5 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, and thermal derating above 25 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated planar junction to achieve fast response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability with 3.5 V max instantaneous forward voltage at 25 A, enabling protection of DC-biased circuits without blocking normal operation.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak. Its 0.111 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR ensures predictable voltage drift under thermal stress in high-reliability industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V - defines minimum clamping threshold and maximum guaranteed breakdown spread under 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 171 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V - clamped voltage during 0.73 A 10/1000 μs transient, limiting downstream component stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per single 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting inductive load switching events |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - surface-mount MELF package optimized for automated placement and high thermal reliability |
Pinout & Package

| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life and standard Pb-free reflow without baking preconditioning |
| 0.111 %/°C VBR tempco | Ensures ≤ ±1.1 V VBR shift over full -55 °C to +150 °C operating range |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Guarantees solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, compatible with RoHS-compliant assembly |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Supply Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and feedback sensing lines against voltage spikes from contactor switching and regenerative braking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed across DC bus or gate resistor network to limit transient overvoltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA200A-E3/97 | Same 200 V VBR range but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating; higher junction capacitance (~100 pF vs ~30 pF) | Suitable for board space-constrained layouts where MELF placement is impractical; less optimal for high-frequency signal lines | Select P4SMA200A-E3/97 when footprint compatibility with existing SMA footprints is required and capacitance sensitivity is low. |
| SMBJ200A | DO-214AA package; same 200 V rating; 600 W peak power; higher IPPM (3.3 A vs 0.73 A) | Better suited for higher-energy surges; larger thermal mass allows longer pulse handling but requires more PCB area | Choose SMBJ200A when system-level surge testing exceeds 400 W requirements and board layout permits larger SMC footprint. |
Compared with P4SMA200A-E3/97 and SMBJ200A, the TGL41-200A-E3/97 offers superior high-frequency response due to lower junction capacitance and tighter VBR tolerance, making it preferred for precision analog and fast digital signal protection where minimal parasitic loading is critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-200A-E3/97 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-200A-E3/97 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 0.73 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures downstream components remain below their absolute maximum voltage ratings during transient events. The TGL41-200A-E3/97 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TGL41-200A-E3/97 suitable for new designs?
No - Vishay explicitly marks the TGL41-200A-E3/97 as "Not For New Designs" in its official documentation (Doc. #88403, Rev. 14-Nov-2023). Engineers designing new systems should consider the recommended alternative series P4SMA6.8-E3 through P4SMA540A-E3. The TGL41-200A-E3/97 remains supported for legacy production and repair, but long-term availability cannot be guaranteed beyond current inventory.
What does the "E3/97" suffix indicate in TGL41-200A-E3/97?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 whisker resistance (Class 1A). The "/97" indicates packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 5000 units - distinct from "/96" (7-inch reel, 1500 units). Both variants share identical electrical and thermal specifications.
How does the TGL41-200A-E3/97 handle thermal derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
The TGL41-200A-E3/97 follows a linear derating curve from 100 % power at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. At 75 °C ambient (with infinite heatsink), its steady-state power dissipation drops to 0.75 W from the rated 1.0 W. Derating must account for both ambient temperature and PCB copper area; Fig. 5 in the datasheet provides exact derating percentages versus TJ. The TGL41-200A-E3/97's GL41 package supports efficient heat transfer via axial leads.
Can the TGL41-200A-E3/97 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TGL41-200A-E3/97 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the "FEATURES" section and polarity diagram (blue band = cathode). It conducts surge current only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection, two TGL41-200A-E3/97 devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., P4SMA200CA-E3) should be selected. Using a single TGL41-200A-E3/97 in reverse bias risks permanent damage.
