Product details
Overview
TGL41-30A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features a 28.5–31.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 25.6 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 9.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 41.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-30A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-30A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-30A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-30A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 400 W surge rating at 10/1000 µs, thermal derating above 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to transient events such as inductive switching spikes and ESD.
The GL41 package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. With a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and MSL Level 1 rating (peak reflow ≤250 °C), it is qualified for surface-mount reflow processes without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 28.5 V / 31.5 V - defines precise avalanche turn-on range for reliable clamping onset |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 41.4 V - clamped voltage during 9.7 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream circuitry |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standard 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting inrush and fault conditions |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum operating junction temperature, enabling use in high-ambient industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a plastic MELF package with axial leads; polarity is marked by a blue band indicating the cathode (positive terminal under normal TVS operation). The device has two terminals only: anode and cathode - no internal circuitry or additional pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; defines directionality of clamping |
| Cathode (blue band) | Avalanche conduction terminal | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when VRM exceeded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic MELF packaging | Enables high-volume automated placement and consistent thermal performance in compact layouts |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and immunity to humidity-induced parameter drift |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Provides robust protection against common lightning-induced and inductive-switching transients |
| MSL Level 1 compliance | Eliminates pre-bake requirement for SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing cost and cycle time |
| RoHS-compliant matte tin plating | Guarantees solderability per J-STD-002 and whisker resistance per JESD 201 Class 1A |
Applications

Use Value: Clamps 8 kV contact ESD events to <41.4 V within <1 ns, preserving ADC accuracy and avoiding false triggers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA30A-E3/96 | Same VWM (25.6 V), identical VC (41.4 V), but rated for 400 W at 10/1000 µs and packaged in SMA (DO-214AC); higher thermal resistance than GL41 | Suitable for PCBs with larger footprint allowance; less optimal for high-density MELF layouts | Select when existing design uses SMA footprint or requires higher IFSM (50 A vs. 40 A) |
| SMAJ30A-E3/52T | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VC, PPPM), but in SMA package with different tape-and-reel packaging (52T = 3300 pcs/reel) | Compatible with same pick-and-place tooling as P4SMA series; not MELF-form factor | Choose for supply chain flexibility where GL41 lead-time is constrained, accepting minor layout adaptation |
Compared with TGL41-30A-E3/96, P4SMA30A-E3/96 offers identical clamping performance but trades MELF's compactness and thermal efficiency for SMA's ease of manual rework; SMAJ30A-E3/52T provides full electrical equivalence with alternate packaging logistics - neither is pin-compatible due to differing package geometries.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-30A-E3/96?
The TGL41-30A-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 28.5 V to 31.5 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior across production lots and temperature ranges, critical for protecting 24 V nominal systems where overvoltage margin must be precisely controlled. The TGL41-30A-E3/96 maintains this specification across its full operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Is the TGL41-30A-E3/96 suitable for new designs?
No - Vishay explicitly marks the TGL41-30A-E3/96 as "Not For New Designs" in its official documentation (Document Number 88403, Revision 14-Nov-2023), recommending P4SMA30A-E3/96 or SMAJ30A-E3/52T as alternatives. While fully functional and supported for existing production, the TGL41-30A-E3/96 is intended for legacy program continuity only. Engineers designing new systems should evaluate the recommended alternatives for long-term availability and updated qualification data.
What does the "E3/96" suffix indicate in TGL41-30A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. The "/96" indicates packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 1500 units per reel - optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment. This ordering code directly maps to Vishay's preferred package code and delivery mode, ensuring traceable, factory-standard configuration for TGL41-30A-E3/96.
How does the GL41 (DO-213AB) package affect thermal performance of the TGL41-30A-E3/96?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package provides superior thermal dissipation per unit volume compared to flat-pack alternatives like SMA, due to its cylindrical geometry and direct metal-to-pad contact area. At TL = 75 °C, the TGL41-30A-E3/96 sustains 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink - a value validated by Vishay's thermal characterization curves. This enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments where airflow is limited, unlike planar packages that rely more heavily on copper pour area for cooling.
Can the TGL41-30A-E3/96 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TGL41-30A-E3/96 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, with cathode identified by a blue band. Its internal structure is a single avalanche junction optimized for reverse-bias clamping; it does not support symmetrical bidirectional transient suppression. For applications requiring protection against both positive and negative transients (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ30CA or separate back-to-back unidirectional devices would be required - the TGL41-30A-E3/96 cannot be repurposed for bidirectional use.
