Product details
Overview
TGL41-62-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) 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 at 4.7 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and signal lines in industrial sensor units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-62-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-62-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-62-E3/96 application, or TGL41-62-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 53.0 V working voltage, 85.0 V clamping performance at 4.7 A, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above its 58.9–65.1 V breakdown range. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<5 μA at VWM) and fast response to transients, with low incremental surge resistance enabling effective energy diversion during 10/1000 μs surges.
The DO-213AB (GL41) package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Polarity is marked by a blue band indicating cathode; under normal operation, cathode is positive relative to anode - confirming strict unidirectional conduction behavior and excluding bidirectional use cases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 53.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 58.9 V / 65.1 V - guaranteed avalanche breakdown range at 1.0 mA test current |
| VC @ IPPM | 85.0 V at 4.7 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream circuit stress during 10/1000 μs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability per 10/1000 μs waveform, 0.01% duty cycle |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine) |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - cathode-marked (blue band); blocks forward current until breakdown threshold |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - 2.41–2.67 mm diameter cylindrical MELF package for high-reliability SMT placement |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a two-terminal axial MELF package with solderable matte tin-plated ends. The blue band denotes the cathode terminal, which serves as the positive reference point during transient clamping. No internal leads or pads - terminals are the metallized ends of the cylindrical body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band end) | Clamping output node | Connected to protected line; sinks surge current to ground when VLINE exceeds VBR |
| Anode (opposite end) | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable, low-leakage operation (<5 μA at VWM) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles common industrial surge events without degradation, including IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 threats |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or special handling |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance and JEDEC JS709A halogen-free requirements |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs - critical for 3.3 V/5 V logic and MOSFET gate drivers |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Protection | Automated Equipment Power Rails |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loops) in factory-floor pressure/temperature sensors exposed to relay coil kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS clamping element placed between signal line and ground, activated within nanoseconds of overvoltage onset. Use Value: Limits induced transients to ≤85.0 V, preventing damage to precision DACs and op-amps while maintaining <5 μA leakage at 53.0 V nominal operation. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC input rails in PLC I/O modules subject to inductive load switching in motor control cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main supply rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO. Use Value: Absorbs 400 W surge energy without failure, preserving rail integrity and avoiding brownout-induced firmware resets in microcontrollers. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Computer Peripheral Port Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceiver pins in base station backhaul equipment from lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage transient suppressor on differential bus lines, preceding secondary filtering and isolation. Use Value: Clamps common-mode transients to ≤85.0 V while maintaining signal integrity via low capacitance (<100 pF) and fast response (<1 ns). | Use Scenario: Guarding USB 2.0 data lines (D+/D−) in docking stations against ESD and hot-swap transients during peripheral insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed in series with each data line, referenced to ground. Use Value: Provides 8 kV contact / 15 kV air ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 while adding <0.5 pF parasitic capacitance to preserve 480 Mbps signal fidelity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 58.0 V VWM; 93.6 V VC @ 4.3 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for board-level primary protection with heatsinking | Select SMBJ58A when higher surge margin and PCB space allow; not drop-in due to different package and thermal profile |
| P6KE62A | DO-15 axial leaded package; 53.0 V VWM; 100 V VC @ 3.8 A; 600 W PPPM | Through-hole mounting; higher clamping voltage reduces protection margin for sensitive 3.3 V interfaces | Choose P6KE62A only for legacy through-hole designs; requires layout change and lacks MELF's automated placement support |
Compared with SMBJ58A and P6KE62A, the TGL41-62-E3/96 offers tighter clamping (85.0 V vs. ≥93.6 V), smaller DO-213AB footprint for dense layouts, and MELF process consistency - making it optimal for modern SMT-based industrial sensor and telecom interface protection where space and clamping precision are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-62-E3/96?
The TGL41-62-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range ensures reliable triggering across temperature and manufacturing variation while maintaining design margin below the 85.0 V clamping voltage. The TGL41-62-E3/96 is specified for unidirectional operation only.
Is the TGL41-62-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-62-E3/96 is strictly unidirectional, with polarity indicated by a blue band marking the cathode. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode - meaning it clamps positive transients on lines referenced to ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as a symmetric TVS array or a dedicated bidirectional part like SMAJ6.0A must be used instead of the TGL41-62-E3/96.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-62-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-62-E3/96 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V at 4.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in Vishay document 88403 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating area.
Does the TGL41-62-E3/96 meet lead-free reflow requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-62-E3/96 is rated MSL Level 1 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 250 °C, fully compatible with standard Pb-free soldering processes. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability, and the E3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance - all verified in Vishay document 88403.
How does the DO-213AB package of the TGL41-62-E3/96 impact PCB layout?
DO-213AB (GL41) is a 2.41–2.67 mm diameter cylindrical MELF package requiring symmetrical, centered pad geometry with 0.185–0.205 inch (4.7–5.2 mm) center-to-center spacing. Unlike rectangular SMD packages, it needs rotational alignment tolerance and optimized stencil aperture design to prevent tombstoning. The TGL41-62-E3/96's compact size supports high-density routing but demands precise placement accuracy for automated assembly.
