Product details
Overview
TGL41-200-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, rated for 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), 274 V clamping voltage at 0.73 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power with 10/1000 μs waveform. It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-200-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-200-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-200-E3/96 application, or TGL41-200-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 171 V maximum working voltage, 274 V clamping performance at rated IPPM, thermal derating above 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with a blue band marking the cathode terminal. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time and low incremental surge resistance, critical for clamping sub-microsecond transients induced by inductive load switching.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature. Junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, supporting operation in harsh industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 171 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before breakdown; defines upper limit of safe DC or AC signal swing |
| VBR min/max | 190 V / 210 V - breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V - clamped voltage at 0.73 A peak pulse current; determines maximum stress imposed on protected circuitry |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 μs waveform; supports high-energy transient suppression |
| ID @ VWM | 5 μA - maximum reverse leakage at 171 V; minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design margin for PCB layout and power dissipation |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); withstands accidental polarity reversal events |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB (GL41) - cylindrical plastic MELF case with solderable matte tin-plated ends; 0.105" diameter × 0.238" length (2.67 mm × 6.0 mm); blue band denotes cathode (positive terminal under normal TVS operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; must be routed to ground or return path for clamping action |
| Cathode (blue band) | Current exit point during forward conduction; clamping node | Connected to protected signal or power rail; absorbs transient energy when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 200 V VWM; 328 V VC @ 1.2 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage but greater surge capacity; requires larger PCB footprint | Select SMBJ200A when higher peak pulse current handling (>1 A) is required and board space permits SMB outline |
| P6KE200A | DO-15 axial package; 200 V VWM; 324 V VC @ 1.23 A; 600 W PPPM; slower response than MELF | Manual assembly compatible; less suitable for high-frequency transients due to higher parasitic inductance | Choose P6KE200A for cost-sensitive, low-volume, or through-hole designs where automated placement is not used |
Compared with SMBJ200A and P6KE200A, the TGL41-200-E3/96 offers superior high-frequency transient response and compact MELF form factor ideal for dense SMT layouts, though with lower peak current rating (0.73 A vs. ≥1.2 A) and tighter clamping (274 V vs. ≥324 V).

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-200-E3/96 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-200-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 0.73 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The TGL41-200-E3/96 maintains this clamping performance across its specified junction temperature range.
Is the TGL41-200-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-200-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 11-Dec-12. It features a blue band marking the cathode and is designed to clamp positive transients relative to ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS such as the SMAJ200A or an explicitly dual-directional part must be selected. The TGL41-200-E3/96 does not provide reverse conduction capability.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TGL41-200-E3/96?
The TGL41-200-E3/96 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of 150 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C. Its power derating curve (Figure 5 in the datasheet) specifies linear reduction of peak pulse power above 25 °C ambient. The TGL41-200-E3/96 remains fully functional within this full range when properly mounted on thermally adequate PCB copper.
Does the TGL41-200-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the "E3" suffix in TGL41-200-E3/96 indicates RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU and qualification to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Its matte tin-plated terminals are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and it supports lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C (MSL Level 1). The TGL41-200-E3/96 is certified halogen-free per JEDEC JS709A.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the TGL41-200-E3/96 at its working voltage?
The TGL41-200-E3/96 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5 μA at its maximum standoff voltage (VWM) of 171 V, measured at 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on circuits and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensor interfaces. The TGL41-200-E3/96 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table.
