Product details
Overview
TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) plastic MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 7.13–7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 35.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 11.3 V clamping voltage (VC) - used to protect MOSFETs and ICs in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB package compatibility, 11.3 V clamping performance at 35.4 A, thermal derating above 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals meeting J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device with glass-passivated planar junction construction, enabling fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction only during reverse overvoltage events, with cathode marked by blue band and rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
The device complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge standards and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (reflow peak 250 °C). It delivers 400 W peak pulse power at 25 °C but derates linearly above that ambient, dropping to 200 W at ≥91 V VBR ratings - consistent across the TGL41 family including TGL41-7.5A-E3/96.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.13 V / 7.88 V - defines reliable avalanche initiation window under 10 mA test current; ensures predictable clamping onset |
| VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 500 μA; sets safe margin below VBR |
| IPPM | 35.4 A - peak transient current it safely shunts at 10/1000 µs waveform without failure; determines PCB trace sizing |
| VC | 11.3 V - clamped voltage across device at 35.4 A; directly limits stress on downstream ICs or MOSFETs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; constrains thermal design and power cycling endurance |
| Package | GL41 (DO-213AB) - cylindrical MELF outline with solderable ends; supports high-speed automated placement |
Pinout & Package
GL41 (DO-213AB) is a plastic MELF package with two solderable axial terminals. The blue band denotes the cathode (positive terminal during clamping), while the opposite end is the anode. No internal leads or pads - terminals are integral to molded body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band) | Clamping output node | Connected to protected line; sinks surge current to ground when VLINE > VC |
| Anode | Reference/return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic MELF package | Enables high-volume automated placement and reflow compatibility with standard SMT processes |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Validates immunity to Level 4 IEC 61000-4-5 surges (4 kV line-to-ground, 2 kV line-to-line) |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.48) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to protected circuitry compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and single-reflow processing without baking preconditioning |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog voltage inputs of 24 V industrial pressure sensors exposed to relay coil flyback and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between sensor signal line and ground, absorbing transients before they reach ADC input stage. Use Value: Limits induced voltage to ≤11.3 V at 35.4 A, preventing latch-up or damage to 12-bit SAR ADCs with 12 V absolute max rating. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus receiver pins in BCMs subjected to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby protection element on LIN data line, activated only during overvoltage events exceeding 6.40 V. Use Value: Clamps 10/1000 µs surges to 11.3 V within <1 ns, preserving signal integrity and meeting ISO 16750-2 transient immunity requirements. |
| Consumer Appliance Motor Driver Protection | Telecom Power Supply Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Shielding gate drivers in BLDC motor inverters from inductive switching spikes generated by 200 W fan motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across half-bridge high-side FET source-drain, triggered during VDS overshoot. Use Value: Absorbs 400 W peak energy without degradation, maintaining gate oxide integrity and avoiding false turn-on due to dv/dt coupling. | Use Scenario: Front-end transient suppression on 48 V telecom rectifier outputs feeding DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge limiter on secondary-side DC bus, positioned before bulk capacitor and controller IC. Use Value: Withstands repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 0.01% duty cycle, ensuring uninterrupted operation during lightning-induced grid disturbances. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA7.5A-E3/96 | Same VWM (6.4 V), identical VC (11.3 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), packaged in SMA (DO-214AC) instead of GL41 | SMA offers higher thermal mass and easier manual rework; GL41 enables denser layout and faster placement | Select P4SMA7.5A-E3/96 if board space allows larger footprint and hand-soldering is required |
| SMAJ7.5A-E3/52T | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM), but in SMA package with different tape/reel packaging (52T vs 96) | No functional difference; differs only in reel size (1500 vs 3000 pcs) and carrier tape width | Choose SMAJ7.5A-E3/52T for volume procurement where 3000-unit reels optimize logistics |
Compared with TGL41-7.5A-E3/96, P4SMA7.5A-E3/96 offers identical clamping performance in a more serviceable SMA package, while SMAJ7.5A-E3/52T provides identical specs with alternate reel logistics - neither is pin-compatible due to DO-213AB vs DO-214AC mechanical mismatch.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TGL41-7.5A-E3/96?
The TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage margining in protected circuits.
Is TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 is unidirectional only - it conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection, Vishay recommends separate devices like the SMBJ7.5CA or dedicated bidirectional TVS arrays; using TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 in reverse-biased AC signal paths would not provide clamping.
What does the "E3/96" suffix mean in TGL41-7.5A-E3/96?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated terminals qualified to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing. The "/96" denotes packaging in 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 1500 units - standard for high-speed SMT placement equipment.
How does TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 perform at elevated ambient temperatures?
TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 derates linearly above 25 °C ambient: its peak pulse power drops to ~200 W at 91 V VBR and higher, per Figure 2 in document 88403. At 85 °C ambient, maximum non-repetitive IPPM falls to approximately 28 A, requiring thermal-aware layout and surge duty cycle limitation.
Why is TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 marked as "Not For New Designs"?
Vishay designates TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 as "Not For New Designs" because newer platforms favor surface-mount packages with enhanced thermal performance (e.g., SMA, SMC) or integrated protection solutions. However, TGL41-7.5A-E3/96 remains fully supported for legacy production, repair, and maintenance with no obsolescence timeline published.
