Product details
Overview
TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in GL41 (DO-213AB) MELF package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal and power lines. It features 7.79 V to 8.61 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 7.02 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 12.1 V clamping voltage at 33.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It protects MOSFETs and ICs in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 application, or TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-213AB mechanical compatibility, 12.1 V clamping performance at 33.1 A, thermal derating above 25 °C, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
The TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient overvoltages induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its unidirectional configuration enables integration into DC-biased signal paths where reverse conduction must be blocked until clamping threshold is exceeded.
It complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.35 surge waveform standards and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 250 °C lead-free reflow peak temperature. The device exhibits 0.068 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring predictable voltage drift across its -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.79 V / 8.61 V - defines minimum and maximum guaranteed avalanche onset under 10 mA test current; sets lower bound for protection threshold |
| VWM | 7.02 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 200 μA; ensures no conduction during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.1 V at 33.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream circuitry |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with standard 10/1000 μs waveform; validates robustness against common lightning/surge events |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine); supports temporary overload conditions without failure |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; constrains thermal design margin and PCB copper area requirements |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P4SMA8.2-E3/96 | Same VBR range (7.79–8.61 V), but SMA package (DO-214AC); 400 W rating; higher junction capacitance (~200 pF vs. ~100 pF for TGL41) | Suitable for PCBs with surface-mount pad layouts instead of MELF-compatible land patterns; less optimal for high-frequency signal lines | Select P4SMA8.2-E3/96 when board space allows larger footprint and thermal mass is prioritized over RF performance. |
| SMBJ8.0A | Stand-off voltage 8.0 V, clamping voltage 12.7 V at 31.2 A; SMB package (DO-214AA); same 400 W rating but higher VC/IPPM ratio | Better suited for higher-energy surges where slightly elevated clamping is acceptable; requires different mounting geometry | Choose SMBJ8.0A when system-level testing shows margin exists above 12.1 V clamping and DO-214AA placement is already standardized. |
Compared with P4SMA8.2-E3/96 and SMBJ8.0A, the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 offers superior high-frequency immunity due to lower junction capacitance and tighter VBR tolerance, making it preferred for precision analog signal protection where minimal loading and consistent threshold behavior are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range specified for TGL41-8.2A-E3/96?
The TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.79 V to 8.61 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots. The "8.2" in the part number indicates nominal VBR, but actual units must fall within this validated window to meet specification.
Is TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 14-Nov-2023. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode voltage by ≥VBR; it does not protect against positive transients on the anode side. For bidirectional applications, a separate symmetric TVS or back-to-back configuration is required - the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 itself provides no reverse conduction capability.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 under surge conditions?
The TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.1 V at 33.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case surge events. Derating applies above ambient temperature per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 meet RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 carries the "E3" suffix, indicating full RoHS compliance and qualification for lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and it achieves MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C - verified in Vishay Document Number 88403.
Why is the TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 marked as "Not For New Designs"?
The "Not For New Designs" designation for TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 (per Vishay Doc. #88403, Rev. 14-Nov-2023) indicates Vishay recommends newer alternatives like the P4SMA8.2-E3/96 for new projects due to enhanced manufacturability and broader distribution. However, TGL41-8.2A-E3/96 remains fully supported for existing designs, with active production, full datasheet validation, and unchanged electrical specifications - no obsolescence or quality changes are implied.
