Overview
TGL41-33-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping inductive load switching transients and lightning-induced surges on signal lines. It features 31.4 V to 34.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 45.7 V maximum clamping voltage at 8.8 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-33-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-33-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-33-E3/96 application, or TGL41-33-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, 0.101 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and suitability for consumer, industrial, and telecom sensor line protection where fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device in series with sensitive downstream circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and long-term reliability under repetitive transient stress.
The DO-213AB (GL41) MELF package enables automated placement and provides robust thermal dissipation for 1.0 W steady-state power handling. With 0.01 % duty cycle capability and 150 °C maximum junction temperature, it supports high-reliability operation in ambient temperatures up to 125 °C after derating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ33A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 33 V VWM, 53.3 V VC @ 7.5 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for PCB space-constrained but thermally robust layouts | Select SMBJ33A when board layout allows larger SMD footprint and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for downstream device margins |
| 1.5SMC33A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 33 V VWM, 53.3 V VC @ 7.5 A; 1500 W PPPM | Higher power rating and larger thermal mass; requires more PCB area and different reflow profile | Choose 1.5SMC33A for high-energy surge environments (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets) where 400 W is insufficient |
Compared with TGL41-33-E3/96, SMBJ33A offers higher peak power but less precise clamping due to higher VC, while 1.5SMC33A delivers triple the surge capacity at the cost of footprint and assembly compatibility-making TGL41-33-E3/96 optimal for compact, high-volume consumer and industrial sensor nodes requiring tight voltage margins and MELF placement efficiency.
