Product details
Overview
TGL41-30-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 28.5 V to 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 clamping voltage (VC) - deployed in sensor interface protection for industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-30-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-30-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-30-E3/96 application, or TGL41-30-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 400 W transient handling at 10/1000 μs, 150 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with a blue band marking the cathode terminal. Its glass-passivated silicon junction enables sub-nanosecond response to ESD and switching surges, while low incremental surge resistance ensures stable clamping under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 for transient suppression and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤ 250 °C). Thermal derating begins above 25 °C ambient, with full 400 W rating only at TA = 25 °C; power dissipation drops to 1.0 W at TL = 75 °C on infinite heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 28.5 V / 31.5 V - defines minimum voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage. |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; must exceed normal circuit operating voltage to prevent leakage or false triggering. |
| IPPM | 9.7 A - peak pulse current survivable under 10/1000 μs waveform; determines minimum series impedance required for effective clamping. |
| VC | 41.4 V - clamped voltage at IPPM; limits maximum stress imposed on protected downstream ICs during transient events. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power capability; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surge immunity testing. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design margin for PCB layout and power cycling reliability. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - requires correct orientation relative to DC bias; cathode (blue band) connects toward positive rail in standard protection configuration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB (GL41) - cylindrical plastic MELF case with solderable matte tin-plated ends; 0.105"–0.095" diameter (2.67 mm–2.41 mm), 0.238" length (6.0 mm); blue band denotes cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TGL41-30-E3/96?
The TGL41-30-E3/96 is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode marked by a blue band. During normal operation, the cathode is held at a higher potential than the anode; it conducts only when reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. This configuration makes TGL41-30-E3/96 appropriate for DC-biased lines where polarity is fixed, such as power rails or single-ended signal paths - unlike bidirectional variants used for AC or differential lines.
Does the TGL41-30-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-30-E3/96 carries the "E3" suffix indicating full RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU and passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. Its matte tin-plated terminals are solderable per J-STD-002 and rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 250 °C (MSL Level 1), making TGL41-30-E3/96 fully compatible with standard lead-free SMT processes without special handling or baking.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-30-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-30-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 41.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 9.7 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream components during worst-case transient events - a critical parameter for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings.
Can the TGL41-30-E3/96 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the TGL41-30-E3/96 is qualified for automotive use with a junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. Its 400 W surge rating and low clamping voltage support protection of LIN, CAN, and sensor inputs in body control modules and engine bay electronics - though system-level validation per AEC-Q200 remains the responsibility of the end designer.
How does the DO-213AB (GL41) package of the TGL41-30-E3/96 compare to SMA or SMC packages?
The DO-213AB (GL41) package of the TGL41-30-E3/96 is a plastic MELF case offering superior thermal performance per unit volume versus SMA, with smaller footprint and compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Unlike SMA or SMC, GL41 lacks molded leads - instead relying on solderable cylindrical ends - which reduces parasitic inductance and improves high-frequency transient response, making TGL41-30-E3/96 especially effective for fast-rising ESD and switching noise.
