Product details
Overview
TGL41-62-E3/97 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 58.9 V to 65.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 53.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 4.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 85.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-62-E3/97 datasheet, TGL41-62-E3/97 pinout, TGL41-62-E3/97 application, or TGL41-62-E3/97 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 85.0 V clamping performance at 4.7 A, thermal derating above 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode with cathode marked by a blue band. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing inductive switching spikes. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature tolerance.
Rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C and withstands 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Clamping behavior is characterized under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A-E3/52 (Vishay) | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 58.0–64.4 V VBR; 400 W PPPM; bidirectional option available | Higher mounting height (2.3 mm vs. 1.25 mm); requires different pad layout; better suited for board space-constrained but height-tolerant designs | Select when PCB layout allows SMB footprint and bidirectional capability is needed for AC-coupled lines |
| P6KE62A (ON Semiconductor) | DO-15 axial package; 58.9–65.1 V VBR; 600 W PPPM; 1.0 W PD; slower thermal response | Manual or wave-solder compatible; not suitable for high-speed automated placement; larger board area required | Select for cost-sensitive, low-volume, or legacy through-hole production where MELF placement infrastructure is unavailable |
Compared with SMBJ58A-E3/52 and P6KE62A, the TGL41-62-E3/97 offers superior automated assembly compatibility in compact MELF form, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %), and lower profile-critical for ultra-thin power modules and dense sensor nodes where Z-height and placement yield are design constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TGL41-62-E3/97 under peak pulse conditions?
The TGL41-62-E3/97 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 85.0 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 4.7 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Vishay document 88403.
Is the TGL41-62-E3/97 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-62-E3/97 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section and confirmed by its single blue band polarity marking. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode voltage by ≥58.9 V. For bidirectional protection, engineers must select alternate parts such as SMBJ58CA or P6KE62CA.
What does the "E3/97" suffix indicate in TGL41-62-E3/97?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, while "/97" specifies packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with 5000 units per reel. This ordering code aligns with Vishay's standard delivery mode nomenclature in document 88403.
Can the TGL41-62-E3/97 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?
No, the TGL41-62-E3/97 is commercial-grade (not AEC-Q200 qualified), as indicated by its base P/N-E3 designation and absence of automotive qualification references in document 88403. For AEC-Q200-compliant TVS diodes, consider Vishay's Automotive Grade TRANSZorb® series such as the AEC-Q200-qualified SMAJ58A.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TGL41-62-E3/97 above 25 °C ambient?
The TGL41-62-E3/97 follows linear derating of peak pulse power above TA = 25 °C, as shown in Figure 2 of document 88403: power capability reduces to 200 W at VBR ≥ 91 V and scales proportionally with junction temperature. Steady-state power dissipation remains fixed at 1.0 W on infinite heatsink, independent of ambient.
