Product details
Overview
TGL41-68-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features 64.6 V to 71.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 58.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 4.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 92.0 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects MOSFETs and ICs in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-68-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-68-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-68-E3/96 application, or TGL41-68-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 92.0 V clamping performance under 4.3 A surge, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, RoHS-compliant E3 termination, and 150 °C max junction temperature rating.
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 before sensitive downstream components are stressed.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform, 0.01% duty cycle), it delivers stable clamping up to 92.0 V at 4.3 A while maintaining 5.0 μA max reverse leakage at 58.1 V. Thermal derating follows JESD22-A104 curves, supporting reliable operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 64.6 V / 71.4 V - Ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots at 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 58.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below VBR |
| VC @ IPPM | 92.0 V - Clamped voltage during 4.3 A transient; defines worst-case stress on protected circuit |
| IPPM | 4.3 A - Peak surge current survivable per 10/1000 μs waveform without degradation |
| PPPM | 400 W - Transient energy handling capacity; validates suitability for 24 V–48 V industrial bus protection |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Enables use in enclosed, high-ambient environments without thermal shutdown |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - MELF-style surface-mount package with solderable matte tin leads, MSL Level 1 |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a cylindrical plastic MELF package with axial symmetry and no discrete pins. Terminals consist of two solderable metallized ends: the cathode end is marked with a blue band and functions as the positive terminal under reverse-bias transient conditions; the anode is the unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground reference during overvoltage events |
| Anode | Reference return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping loop during avalanche conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges in 24 V control circuits |
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling |
| Uni-directional polarity only | Optimized for DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation |
| MSL Level 1 (250 °C peak reflow) | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without pre-baking or special handling |
| RoHS-compliant E3 termination | Meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and J-STD-002 solderability standards |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Supplies |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed across DC bus or gate-source terminals. Use Value: Limits voltage overshoot to ≤92.0 V during 4.3 A transients, preventing gate oxide rupture and latch-up in power semiconductors. | Use Scenario: Input-stage surge suppression on 48 V telecom rectifier outputs feeding backplane distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on secondary-side DC output prior to POL converters. Use Value: Absorbs 400 W pulses without degradation, maintaining <5.0 μA leakage at 58.1 V to avoid standby power loss. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on VBAT-referenced signal lines with cathode tied to line. Use Value: Clamps 12 V system transients to 92.0 V within nanoseconds, preserving signal integrity and MCU I/O tolerance. | Use Scenario: Overvoltage safeguard on analog sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<50 pF) shunt protector on differential or single-ended analog front-ends. Use Value: Adds <1.0 V forward drop at 25 A while maintaining 58.1 V standoff, enabling precision measurement continuity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64A | DO-214AA package; 64.0 V VWM; 100 V VC @ 3.3 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage; larger footprint; higher surge rating | Select when board space allows SMB footprint and >100 V clamping is acceptable for 24 V systems |
| P6KE68A | DO-15 axial leaded package; 68.0 V VWM; 104 V VC @ 3.8 A; 600 W PPPM | Through-hole mounting; higher VC; not RoHS-compliant E3 termination | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where automated MELF placement is unavailable |
Compared with SMBJ64A and P6KE68A, the TGL41-68-E3/96 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±5%), lower clamping voltage (92.0 V vs. ≥100 V), and MELF packaging optimized for high-speed pick-and-place-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial SMT applications.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TGL41-68-E3/96?
The TGL41-68-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 64.6 V to 71.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures predictable avalanche onset across temperature and production lots, critical for repeatable circuit protection behavior in the TGL41-68-E3/96.
Is TGL41-68-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the TGL41-68-E3/96 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a blue band. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS pair or a dedicated bidirectional device such as the SMAJ6.8CA must be used-TGL41-68-E3/96 does not support reverse-polarity surge conduction.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-68-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-68-E3/96 clamps to a maximum of 92.0 V when subjected to its rated 4.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events, directly specified in the TGL41-68-E3/96 datasheet Table 1.
Does TGL41-68-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-68-E3/96 carries the E3 suffix, indicating RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102, and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance. It supports lead-free reflow up to 250 °C peak (MSL Level 1), fully satisfying modern SMT process requirements for the TGL41-68-E3/96.
How is polarity identified on the TGL41-68-E3/96 package?
Polarity is identified by a single blue band on the DO-213AB (GL41) cylindrical body of the TGL41-68-E3/96; this band marks the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the line being protected. The unmarked end is the anode and should be connected to ground or the reference node. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and verified per Vishay specification 88403.
