Product details
Overview
TGL41-200-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) MELF package, rated for 200 V standoff voltage (VWM), 210 V maximum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-200-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-200-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-200-E3/97 application, or TGL41-200-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (274 V at IPPM), low leakage (<5 μA at 171 V), unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads suitable for automated placement.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with a blue band indicating cathode polarity. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time and low incremental surge resistance, critical for clamping sub-microsecond transients induced by inductive load switching.
Rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and meeting J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 250 °C), it supports high-reliability surface-mount assembly. The 400 W peak pulse power rating applies only below 91 V; above that threshold-including at its 200 V rating-the device is derated to 200 W per specification note (1).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 171 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 190 V / 210 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1.0 mA test current |
| VC @ IPPM | 274 V - Clamped voltage during 0.73 A 10/1000 μs surge, defining protection ceiling |
| PPPM | 200 W - Peak pulse power capability at 200 V rating (derated from 400 W per spec note) |
| ID @ VWM | <5 μA - Reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits |
| IFSM | 40 A - Single half-sine surge withstand (8.3 ms), supporting robust inrush handling |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - Plastic MELF case enabling automated placement and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a cylindrical plastic MELF package with solderable matte tin-plated ends. Polarity is marked by a blue band denoting the cathode (positive terminal under normal TVS operation); the anode is the unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band) | Protected circuit side | Connected to line being protected; clamps transient energy to ground when voltage exceeds VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground side | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables single-reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns (peak 250 °C) |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance and EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to downstream ICs during transient events |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Provides flame-retardant housing essential for industrial and telecom equipment safety certification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ200A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 200 V VWM; 322 V VC @ 0.62 A; higher thermal mass but larger footprint | Better suited for PCBs with space for gull-wing leads and higher sustained power dissipation needs | Select SMBJ200A if board layout allows SMB footprint and thermal management supports >1 W steady-state dissipation |
| P6KE200A | DO-15 axial package; same 200 V VWM; 324 V VC @ 0.62 A; lower surge current rating (0.62 A vs. 0.73 A) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy designs requiring axial leaded components | Choose P6KE200A only when manual assembly or socket-based testing is required; not recommended for high-density SMT production |
Compared with SMBJ200A and P6KE200A, the TGL41-200-E3/97 offers superior volumetric efficiency in MELF form, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %), and optimized performance for automated high-volume placement-making it ideal for compact, thermally constrained industrial sensor modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-200-E3/97 under standard surge conditions?
The TGL41-200-E3/97 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 274 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 0.73 A using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the specified IPPM and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is the TGL41-200-E3/97 suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the TGL41-200-E3/97 is strictly unidirectional. Its blue band marks the cathode, and it conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or back-to-back configuration would be required-neither of which is supported by the TGL41-200-E3/97's construction or datasheet specifications.
Does the TGL41-200-E3/97 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-200-E3/97 carries the E3 suffix, confirming full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and it supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 250 °C peak temperature (MSL Level 1).
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TGL41-200-E3/97?
The TGL41-200-E3/97 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of 150 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. This rating enables reliable operation in harsh environments such as industrial motor controls and under-hood automotive electronics where ambient temperatures exceed 100 °C.
How does the derating of peak pulse power apply to the TGL41-200-E3/97?
Per datasheet note (1), the TGL41-200-E3/97 is rated for 400 W peak pulse power only up to 91 V VWM. At its nominal 200 V rating, the device is explicitly derated to 200 W for non-repetitive pulses. This reflects physical limitations of energy absorption at higher voltages and must be accounted for in surge margin calculations.
