Product details
Overview
TGL41-62A-E3/97 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, and 85.0 V clamping voltage at 4.7 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients and lightning surges in industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-62A-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-62A-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-62A-E3/97 application, or TGL41-62A-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 0.107 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, and compliance with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow).
Technical Context
The TGL41-62A-E3/97 uses a glass-passivated planar junction structure optimized for fast transient response and low incremental surge resistance. Its breakdown voltage range (58.9–65.1 V at 1.0 mA) and tight 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 53.0 V ensure stable clamping under varying thermal conditions.
Designed for automated placement in high-reliability applications, it meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements and supports soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The blue band denotes cathode polarity, and E3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA62A-E3/73 | DO-41 package (axial lead), 600 W PPPM, 53.0 V VWM, 102 V VC @ 3.9 A | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 60 V-rated components; larger footprint limits high-density layouts | Select when board space allows axial packaging and higher clamping is acceptable for legacy designs |
| SMAJ60A | SMA package (SMD), 400 W PPPM, 60.0 V VWM, 96.8 V VC @ 4.1 A, MSL Level 1 | Same power rating but 13.8 V higher clamping than TGL41-62A-E3/97, reducing protection margin for 65 V systems | Choose for surface-mount compatibility where GL41's MELF form factor is incompatible with pick-and-place tooling |
Compared with P4SMA62A-E3/73 and SMAJ60A, the TGL41-62A-E3/97 delivers the lowest clamping voltage (85.0 V) among 60 V-class TVS diodes in its power class, enabling tighter voltage margins for 65 V-rated semiconductors while maintaining MELF reliability and automated placement compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-62A-E3/97 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The TGL41-62A-E3/97 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 4.7 A using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the protected circuit.
Is the TGL41-62A-E3/97 suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the TGL41-62A-E3/97 is designed for automated placement with its GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package. It complies with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 250 °C, eliminating the need for pre-baking and enabling seamless integration into high-volume SMT lines.
Does the TGL41-62A-E3/97 have bidirectional capability?
No, the TGL41-62A-E3/97 is unidirectional only. Its blue band marks the cathode, and it conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For AC or bipolar transient protection, a separate bidirectional variant or dual-diode configuration would be required.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the TGL41-62A-E3/97 at its stand-off voltage?
At the specified stand-off voltage (VWM) of 53.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TGL41-62A-E3/97 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 μA. This low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor or communication circuits.
How does the temperature coefficient of VBR affect the TGL41-62A-E3/97's performance in wide-temperature applications?
The TGL41-62A-E3/97 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.107 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. Over the full -55 °C to +150 °C range, VBR shifts by approximately ±16 %, which is factored into design margins to ensure reliable triggering across environmental extremes.
