Product details
Overview
TGL41-36A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 34.2–37.8 V breakdown voltage, and 49.9 V clamping voltage at 8.0 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-36A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-36A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-36A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-36A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 30.8 V stand-off voltage, 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated planar chip junction to achieve fast response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse transients above VBR, with thermal derating defined per Figure 2 up to 150 °C junction temperature.
The device operates within -55 °C to +150 °C junction/storage range and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. The blue band denotes cathode polarity, and matte tin-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 34.2 V / 37.8 V - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which device enters avalanche breakdown under 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 30.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| IPPM | 8.0 A - peak pulse current it can safely clamp at 10/1000 μs waveform without damage |
| VC | 49.9 V - clamped voltage across terminals during IPPM, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient power dissipation capability under standard 10/1000 μs pulse |
| IFSM | 40 A - maximum non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum allowable junction temperature for reliable long-term operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF case with matte tin-plated leads; blue band indicates cathode terminal. Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0. E3 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant commercial grade with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for unidirectional clamping | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; conducts forward current during overvoltage events |
| Cathode (blue band) | Clamping output node | Connected to protected line (e.g., power rail or signal); clamps transients to ≤49.9 V when VAK exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables robust protection against high-energy transients like relay coil flyback or lightning-induced surges |
| Glass-passivated planar junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<5 μA at VWM) over temperature and lifetime |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements |
| Unidirectional polarity only | Provides forward conduction path for DC-biased lines while suppressing negative-going transients |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤5 μA) TVS connected between sensor output and ground to suppress sub-microsecond transients. Use Value: Prevents false triggering and ADC saturation by limiting excursion to ≤49.9 V without loading the high-impedance signal path. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA36A-E3/96 | Same 36 V nominal breakdown, but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating, 50.4 V clamping at 8.0 A | Surface-mount flat lead package requires different PCB footprint and thermal relief design | Select for automated SMT lines preferring gull-wing leads over MELF geometry |
| SMBJ36A | DO-214AA package; 36 V VBR, 400 W, 58.1 V clamping at 6.9 A - higher VC reduces protection margin | Lower peak pulse current rating limits use in high-energy inductive circuits | Choose where board space allows larger SMB package and clamping voltage margin ≥12 V is acceptable |
Compared with P4SMA36A-E3/96 and SMBJ36A, the TGL41-36A-E3/96 offers identical electrical protection performance in a compact MELF form factor optimized for high-density layouts and automated placement, with superior thermal cycling reliability due to its glass-sealed construction.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-36A-E3/96?
The TGL41-36A-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage threshold design in 36 V nominal systems. The TGL41-36A-E3/96 maintains this specification over -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature.
Is the TGL41-36A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-36A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a blue band. It conducts forward current and clamps reverse transients but does not suppress positive-going surges on grounded lines. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or back-to-back configuration would be required. The TGL41-36A-E3/96 datasheet explicitly states "Available in unidirectional polarity only."
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-36A-E3/96 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-36A-E3/96 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.9 V at 8.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The TGL41-36A-E3/96 maintains this clamping performance with <5% variation across its full temperature range.
Does the TGL41-36A-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-36A-E3/96 carries the E3 suffix, indicating RoHS-compliant construction and matte tin-plated leads qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020 (MSL Level 1, 250 °C peak). It also passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. The TGL41-36A-E3/96 is rated for standard SMT processes without pre-baking or special handling.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TGL41-36A-E3/96 above 25 °C ambient?
The TGL41-36A-E3/96 follows linear thermal derating per Figure 2 in its datasheet: peak pulse power decreases from 400 W at 25 °C to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. At 75 °C, it retains ~70% of rated power (280 W). This derating applies to both single-pulse and repetitive operation (duty cycle ≤ 0.01%). The TGL41-36A-E3/96 must be mounted with adequate thermal relief to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under worst-case surge conditions.
