Product details
Overview
TGL41-22-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, with 20.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.8 V standoff voltage (VWM), and 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform - designed for protecting MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-22-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-22-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-22-E3/96 application, or TGL41-22-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (30.6 V at IPPM), unidirectional polarity, 400 W peak pulse power rating, RoHS-compliant E3 termination, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode marked by a blue band and anode as the unmarked end. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response to transient events while maintaining low leakage (<5 μA at VWM) across the operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) up to 91 V, derating to 200 W above that threshold. It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature tolerance and complies with JEDEC JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing for matte tin-plated terminals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - defines reliable conduction onset under transient stress; ensures clamping begins before downstream IC damage thresholds. |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets safe operating margin below breakdown. |
| IPPM | 13.1 A - peak surge current it safely shunts during 10/1000 μs transient; directly determines protection capability against common inductive spikes. |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - clamped voltage during full-rated surge; must remain below protected device's absolute maximum rating. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling (≤0.01% duty cycle); enables robust suppression of short-duration energy bursts. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; constrains thermal design and layout spacing in high-power density applications. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - requires correct orientation in circuit; cathode (blue band) connects toward positive rail for standard supply-line protection. |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package: cylindrical glass-body diode with solderable matte tin-plated ends; 0.105"–0.095" diameter (2.67–2.41 mm), 0.238" length (6.0 mm); blue band denotes cathode terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band end) | Protected-side reference node | Connects to line being protected (e.g., VCC, signal trace); conducts when transient exceeds VBR. |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Return path to ground or lower potential | Typically tied to system ground or negative rail; completes current path during clamping event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over time and temperature; eliminates surface degradation risks seen in epoxy-passivated devices. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Supports standard lead-free reflow without baking; simplifies SMT assembly for high-volume industrial manufacturing. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients; improves clamping precision for sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles typical automotive load-dump and industrial relay-coil kickback surges without degradation. |
| RoHS-compliant E3 termination | Meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance; ensures long-term solder joint reliability in vibration-prone environments. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Inputs |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response parallel clamp after primary MOV or GDT, before input filter capacitor. Use Value: Responds in <1 ns to suppress residual spikes missed by slower primary protectors; 13.1 A IPPM handles residual energy after upstream attenuation. | Use Scenario: Protecting Ethernet PHY interface pins (e.g., MDI lines) from ESD and induced surges in enterprise switches and routers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-entry TVS on differential pairs, placed before common-mode chokes. Use Value: 30.6 V clamping ensures compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air/8 kV contact) without distorting signal integrity at 100BASE-TX frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ22A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 22 V nominal VBR; 200 W PPPM (10/1000 μs); higher capacitance (~150 pF). | Higher board footprint; less suitable for ultra-high-density layouts where MELF placement is preferred. | Select SMBJ22A only if PCB real estate allows larger SMD package and lower peak power suffices. |
| 1.5KE22A | DO-201AD axial-leaded package; same 22 V VBR rating; 1500 W PPPM; not RoHS-compliant by default. | Requires through-hole assembly; incompatible with automated SMT lines; unsuitable for compact consumer electronics. | Choose 1.5KE22A only for legacy through-hole designs where high-energy surge handling outweighs SMT compatibility. |
Compared with SMBJ22A and 1.5KE22A, the TGL41-22-E3/96 offers superior SMT manufacturability via MELF geometry, tighter VBR tolerance (±5%), and guaranteed RoHS/E3 compliance - making it optimal for new industrial and telecom designs requiring automated placement and long-term supply stability.
