Product details
Overview
TGL41-7.5-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), 7.13–7.88 V breakdown voltage, and 11.3 V clamping voltage at 35.4 A peak pulse current. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-7.5-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-7.5-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-7.5-E3/96 application, or TGL41-7.5-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 6.40 V stand-off voltage, 500 μA max reverse leakage at VWM, 150 °C max junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction capability while clamping reverse transients above VBR, with thermal derating defined per Figure 2 for operation above 25 °C ambient.
The DO-213AB (GL41) package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. The blue band denotes the cathode, and the device complies with JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing and MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 250 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.13 V / 7.88 V - ensures reliable triggering above circuit's normal operating voltage while avoiding false clamping |
| VWM | 6.40 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| IPPM | 35.4 A - peak pulse current it can safely shunt during a 10/1000 μs transient without failure |
| VC @ IPPM | 11.3 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit under full-rated surge, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capacity for non-repetitive transients per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 |
| IR @ VWM | 500 μA - low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |
| TJ max | 150 °C - enables reliable operation in high-temperature industrial environments without thermal shutdown |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) plastic MELF package: cylindrical body with solderable matte tin-plated ends; blue band marks cathode (positive terminal under normal TVS operation); no internal leads - anode and cathode are the two axial terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for unidirectional clamping | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; defines forward conduction path when transient exceeds VBR |
| Cathode (blue band) | Clamping output node | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to anode when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, limiting voltage to ≤11.3 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and long-term reliability under repeated surge stress |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Handles typical inductive switch-off surges in 24 V industrial controls without degradation |
| MSL Level 1, 250 °C peak reflow | Supports standard lead-free SMT assembly without moisture-related popcorning or delamination |
| Uni-directional polarity only | Enables integration into DC-biased lines where forward conduction must be preserved during normal operation |
| RoHS-compliant E3 suffix | Meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance, eliminating tin whisker risk in high-reliability applications |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and logic inputs against back-EMF spikes from relay and solenoid coil de-energization in PLC I/O modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ7.0A | DO-214AA (SMB) package; 7.0 V nominal VBR; 7.78 V VC @ 38.9 A; 600 W PPPM | Higher power rating but larger footprint; requires PCB layout change | Select for higher surge margin where board space permits and MELF placement is unavailable |
| P6SMB7.0A | Same DO-214AA package as SMBJ7.0A; identical electrical specs but different qualification level (automotive-grade AEC-Q101) | Qualified for automotive use; not required for industrial/commercial designs | Choose only if AEC-Q101 compliance is mandated; otherwise TGL41-7.5-E3/96 offers better cost and size efficiency |
Compared with SMBJ7.0A and P6SMB7.0A, the TGL41-7.5-E3/96 delivers equivalent clamping performance in a smaller DO-213AB MELF package optimized for high-density automated assembly, with lower thermal resistance and tighter VBR tolerance - making it preferred for space-constrained industrial and telecom power systems.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range specified for TGL41-7.5-E3/96?
The TGL41-7.5-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 standards. This tight ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots and temperature extremes from –55 °C to 150 °C.
Does TGL41-7.5-E3/96 support automated optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes, the TGL41-7.5-E3/96 features a consistent cylindrical geometry and high-contrast blue cathode band compatible with standard AOI systems. Its DO-213AB (GL41) package meets IPC-A-610 Class 2 requirements for MELF component placement verification post-reflow.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-7.5-E3/96 under rated surge conditions?
The TGL41-7.5-E3/96 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.3 V when subjected to its rated 35.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for protected circuit voltage margining.
Can TGL41-7.5-E3/96 be used in bidirectional signal lines?
No - the TGL41-7.5-E3/96 is unidirectional only, with a defined anode and cathode (blue band). For bidirectional protection, a pair of TGL41-7.5-E3/96 devices in series-opposed configuration or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMAJ7.0CA would be required.
What is the lead finish and solderability specification for TGL41-7.5-E3/96?
The TGL41-7.5-E3/96 features matte tin-plated terminals compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 for lead-free soldering. Its E3 suffix confirms JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance, ensuring long-term solder joint integrity in high-reliability applications.
