Product details
Overview
TGL41-62A-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), 53.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 85.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 4.7 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-62A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-62A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-62A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-62A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility, 53.0 V working voltage margin, 85.0 V clamping performance under 4.7 A surge, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
The TGL41-62A-E3/96 uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective clamping of ESD and inductive kickback events. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage while maintaining 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 53.0 V.
Designed per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power only up to 91 V; above that threshold, rating drops to 200 W - confirmed by Fig. 1 derating curve. Thermal operation spans -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature with 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at 75 °C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR min/max | 58.9 V / 65.1 V - breakdown occurs within this range at 1.0 mA test current, defining turn-on threshold tolerance |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 4.7 A - clamped voltage during full-rated 10/1000 μs surge, directly limiting downstream device stress |

| IFSM | 40 A - maximum non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supporting inrush robustness |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode marked by blue band; conducts only in forward direction during overvoltage |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - cylindrical MELF outline with solderable matte tin-plated ends, MSL Level 1 compliant |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a two-terminal axial plastic MELF package with no leads; terminals are solderable ends of the cylindrical body. Cathode is identified by a blue band, denoting the positive terminal under normal TVS operation (reverse-biased protection mode).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA62A-E3/96 | Same VWM (53.0 V), identical VC (85.0 V), but in SMA package (DO-214AC); 1.0 W PD vs. TGL41's 1.0 W; 400 W PPPM maintained | SMA offers higher board-level mechanical robustness and easier manual rework; GL41 preferred for high-density MELF layouts and automated optical alignment | Select P4SMA62A-E3/96 when PCB space allows larger footprint and hand-soldering or repair is anticipated |
| SMAJ62A-E3/52T | Same electrical specs (VWM = 53.0 V, VC = 85.0 V), but in SMA package with tape-and-reel packaging (52T); slightly higher IFSM (45 A vs. 40 A) | SMAJ series qualified to higher surge repetition endurance; better suited for cyclic industrial environments with frequent switching events | Select SMAJ62A-E3/52T where duty cycle exceeds 0.01% or where long-term repetitive surge reliability is critical |
Compared with P4SMA62A-E3/96 and SMAJ62A-E3/52T, the TGL41-62A-E3/96 offers superior high-frequency response due to lower parasitic inductance inherent to the MELF geometry, making it preferable for fast-rising transients (<10 ns rise time) in compact power modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-62A-E3/96 under peak surge conditions?
The TGL41-62A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V at 4.7 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream components experience no more than 85.0 V during standardized surge events. The TGL41-62A-E3/96 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Is the TGL41-62A-E3/96 suitable for new designs despite Vishay's "Not For New Designs" notice?
The "Not For New Designs" designation applies to the entire TGL41 family and reflects Vishay's strategic shift toward newer platforms like the SMAJ and P4SMA series. However, the TGL41-62A-E3/96 remains fully manufacturable, stocked, and supported with documented specifications and lifecycle management. For legacy redesigns or cost-sensitive high-volume builds where MELF form factor is essential, the TGL41-62A-E3/96 remains a valid choice.
Does the TGL41-62A-E3/96 have bidirectional capability?
No, the TGL41-62A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It features a blue band marking the cathode and conducts surge current only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For AC or dual-polarity protection, separate unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS must be used. This limitation is inherent to the TGL41-62A-E3/96's internal junction structure.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TGL41-62A-E3/96?
The TGL41-62A-E3/96 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. Derating of peak pulse power begins above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet, and steady-state power dissipation is limited to 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C. These ratings are validated per JEDEC test methods and apply directly to the TGL41-62A-E3/96.
How does the GL41 (DO-213AB) package of the TGL41-62A-E3/96 compare to SMA in thermal performance?
The GL41 (DO-213AB) package of the TGL41-62A-E3/96 has identical steady-state power dissipation (1.0 W at TL = 75 °C) as SMA-packaged alternatives, but exhibits lower thermal resistance from junction-to-case due to its metal-end MELF construction. However, board-level heat spreading is less efficient than with SMA's planar leads. The TGL41-62A-E3/96's thermal design must account for its cylindrical geometry and recommended mounting pad layout per datasheet Figure 4.
