Product details
Overview
TGL41-36-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 switching transients and lightning-induced surges on signal lines. It features 34.2 V to 37.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.8 V standoff voltage (VWM), 49.9 V clamping voltage at 8.0 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used in sensor unit signal line protection for industrial automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-36-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-36-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-36-E3/96 application, or TGL41-36-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 400 W surge capability, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 0.102 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device placed in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing sub-microsecond transients induced by relay switching or ESD events.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak, and its blue band denotes cathode polarity - positive terminal under normal reverse-biased operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 34.2 V to 37.8 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false clamping during normal operation |
| VWM | 30.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 5 μA, compatible with 24 V industrial bus rails |
| VC @ IPPM | 49.9 V at 8.0 A - clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during 10/1000 μs surge, staying below typical 55 V absolute max ratings |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling for single-event transients; derates to 200 W above 91 V nominal devices |
| IFSM | 40 A - 8.3 ms half-sine forward surge rating supports high-energy inductive kickback without bond wire failure |
| TJ max | 150 °C - junction temperature limit enabling use in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - cylindrical MELF outline with solderable ends, optimized for automated placement and thermal dissipation in compact layouts |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a plastic MELF package with two solderable end terminals. The blue band identifies the cathode (positive terminal under reverse bias). No internal leads or pads - device functions as a two-terminal bilateral component with polarity-dependent clamping behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band end) | Reverse-biased anode connection point | Connected to protected line; conducts when transient exceeds VBR, shunting current to ground reference |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; completes clamping current path during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 24 V signal lines without derating |
| Glass passivated chip junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<5 μA at VWM) across temperature and lifetime |
| MSL Level 1, 250 °C peak reflow | Supports single-pass lead-free assembly without moisture-related popcorning or delamination |
| Matte tin plating, JESD 201 Class 1A | Prevents tin whisker growth in long-life industrial deployments, eliminating latent field failures |
| Uni-directional polarity only | Simplifies layout by eliminating need for bidirectional symmetry; optimized for DC-biased signal or power rail protection |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Protection | PLC Digital Input Protection |

Use Value: 49.9 V clamping voltage stays within RS-485 receiver common-mode range (−7 V to +12 V), preserving signal integrity during surge events. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus inputs and switch sense lines in automotive body control modules from battery dump and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on 12 V supply-referenced inputs, triggered at 34.2 V to divert surge current away from microcontroller GPIOs. Use Value: 0.102 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable trip point across −40 °C to +125 °C under-hood conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 36.0–40.0 V VBR; 52.0 V VC @ 7.7 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for PCB space-constrained but thermally robust designs | Select SMBJ36A if board layout allows SMB footprint and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for downstream IC margins |
| 1.5KE36A | DO-201AD (Axial) package; 34.2–37.8 V VBR; 58.1 V VC @ 6.9 A; 1500 W PPPM | Higher peak power but slower response due to parasitic inductance; requires axial mounting and manual assembly | Choose 1.5KE36A only for legacy through-hole designs where 1500 W surge margin outweighs speed and automation requirements |
Compared with SMBJ36A and 1.5KE36A, TGL41-36-E3/96 offers superior surge response speed and automated placement compatibility in a compact MELF form factor, making it optimal for high-density industrial PCBs requiring repeatable, high-yield SMT assembly.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-36-E3/96?
The TGL41-36-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) 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 design margining for 24 V and 36 V industrial systems where TGL41-36-E3/96 is commonly deployed.
Does the TGL41-36-E3/96 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the TGL41-36-E3/96 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, ensuring reliable wetting and joint formation in standard SMT processes without prebaking.
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-36-E3/96 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TGL41-36-E3/96 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.9 V at 8.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per standardized test methods and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events, directly informing downstream IC voltage margining.
Is the TGL41-36-E3/96 unidirectional or bidirectional?
The TGL41-36-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. Its blue band marks the cathode, and it conducts only when the cathode is driven positive relative to the anode - making it suitable for DC-biased signal or power rail protection, not AC or bipolar applications.
What package type does the TGL41-36-E3/96 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The TGL41-36-E3/96 uses the DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package - a cylindrical surface-mount outline with solderable ends, 0.105" diameter, and 0.238" length. Key features include UL 94 V-0 compliant molding compound, automated placement compatibility, and polarity marking via blue cathode band, all confirmed in Vishay Document Number 88403.
