Product details
Overview
TGL41-75-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 71.3 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 64.1 V standoff voltage (VWM), 103 V maximum clamping voltage at 3.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 μs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-75-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-75-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-75-E3/96 application, or TGL41-75-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 64.1 V working voltage, 103 V clamping performance under 3.9 A surge, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminations meeting JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode marked by a blue band and anode as the unmarked end. Its glass-passivated junction enables fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, critical for suppressing inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges on DC rails and analog signal paths.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2; its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) applies at 75 °C lead temperature (TL), supporting reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 71.3 V / 78.8 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false clamping during normal transients |
| VWM | 64.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 μA, defining safe operating margin vs. 48 V or 60 V DC rails |
| VC @ IPPM | 103 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 3.9 A 10/1000 μs surge, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standard 10/1000 μs waveform, sufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges |
| IFSM | 40 A - maximum non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), enabling robustness against accidental reverse-bias faults |
| Junction Temp Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package: cylindrical glass-body construction with solderable matte tin-plated ends; cathode denoted by blue band; no leads - terminals are axial end caps. Compatible with automated placement and reflow soldering per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to lower-potential side of protected line | Must be tied to ground or return path when protecting positive rail; defines unidirectional conduction path |
| Cathode (blue band) | Current exit point in forward bias; connected to higher-potential side of protected line | Connected to supply rail or signal line being protected; clamps to ~103 V during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables sub-nanosecond response time and stable VBR tolerance over lifetime, critical for fast ESD and switching noise suppression |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and reflow at 250 °C peak without moisture-related popcorning, simplifying SMT manufacturing |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during high-di/dt events, improving clamping precision for sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in high-vibration or thermal-cycling applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ70A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 70 V VWM; 113 V VC @ 3.5 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher clamping voltage and larger footprint; better suited for higher-energy surges where board space allows | Select SMBJ70A when PCB layout permits SMB footprint and clamping voltage margin >113 V is acceptable |
| 1.5KE75A | DO-201AD package; 75 V VWM; 121 V VC @ 3.3 A; 1500 W PPPM | Higher power rating but slower response and larger size; intended for primary-level AC/DC input protection | Choose 1.5KE75A only for front-end bulk surge suppression where fast response is secondary to energy handling |
Compared with SMBJ70A and 1.5KE75A, TGL41-75-E3/96 offers superior board-area efficiency in MELF form, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %), and lower clamping voltage - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-density DC rail and signal-line protection where precise voltage limiting is required.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TGL41-75-E3/96?
The TGL41-75-E3/96 is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode identified by a blue band. During normal operation, the cathode is at higher potential than the anode. This configuration allows it to clamp positive transients on DC power rails or signal lines referenced to ground, and it must be oriented accordingly in-circuit to avoid forward conduction during steady-state operation.
Does the TGL41-75-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-75-E3/96 carries the E3 suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance per Directive 2011/65/EU and matte tin-plated terminations qualified to JESD 201 Class 1A for whisker resistance. It is rated for lead-free reflow up to 250 °C peak temperature and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards for the molding compound.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TGL41-75-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-75-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.9 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a defined transient event, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of document 88403.
Can the TGL41-75-E3/96 be used in bidirectional protection applications?
No, the TGL41-75-E3/96 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. It lacks symmetrical breakdown characteristics and will conduct heavily in forward bias if subjected to negative transients. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the TGL41-75CA or SMAJ75CA must be selected instead of the TGL41-75-E3/96.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TGL41-75-E3/96 above 25 °C ambient?
The TGL41-75-E3/96 follows the derating curve in Figure 2 of document 88403: its peak pulse power (PPPM) remains constant at 400 W up to 25 °C ambient, then decreases linearly to zero at 150 °C junction temperature. Steady-state power dissipation (PD) is rated at 1.0 W only when lead temperature (TL) is held at 75 °C; operation at higher TL requires proportional reduction per the Power Derating Curve (Figure 5).
