Product details
Overview
TGL41-8.2-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-213AB (GL41) MELF package, designed for clamping inductive switching 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), 33.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 12.1 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs).
For engineers reviewing the TGL41-8.2-E3/96 datasheet, TGL41-8.2-E3/96 pinout, TGL41-8.2-E3/96 application, or TGL41-8.2-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, MELF package compatibility with automated placement, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.55), 0.068 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and RoHS-compliant E3 suffix with JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates exclusively in unidirectional mode, with cathode denoted by a blue band and forward conduction only during transient overvoltage events. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<200 μA at VWM), while the DO-213AB package supports high thermal dissipation under repetitive surge conditions.
The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above that temperature per Fig. 2, and sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). Clamping occurs within picoseconds, with incremental surge resistance optimized to limit voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients (e.g., inductive kick from relay or solenoid switching).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.79 V / 8.61 V - defines precise clamping onset range at 10 mA test current; tight tolerance enables predictable protection threshold |
| VWM | 7.02 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 200 μA; sets safe margin below VBR |
| IPPM | 33.1 A - peak current it safely shunts during 10/1000 μs transient; determines minimum trace width and PCB layout robustness |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.1 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit; lower value reduces stress on downstream ICs like microcontrollers or sensors |
| PPPM | 400 W - energy-handling capacity for standard lightning/surge waveforms; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| TJ max | 150 °C - maximum junction temperature; allows operation in industrial ambient up to 125 °C with appropriate derating |
| Package | DO-213AB (GL41) - MELF glass-body package with matte tin-plated ends; compatible with reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002 |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (GL41) is a cylindrical plastic MELF package with two solderable ends. Polarity is marked by a blue band indicating the cathode (positive terminal during clamping); anode is the unmarked end. The package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and is rated MSL Level 1 (peak reflow ≤250 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (blue band) | Transient current sink during overvoltage | Connected to protected line; carries full IPPM surge current to ground reference |
| Anode | Reference return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane; must minimize inductance to preserve clamping speed |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TGL41-8.2-E3/96?
The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 has a specified 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 tight ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage protection design for 5 V and 8 V systems. The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 achieves this performance using a glass-passivated silicon junction.
Is the TGL41-8.2-E3/96 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TGL41-8.2-E3/96 is qualified for automotive use due to its E3 suffix (JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance), MSL Level 1 reflow rating (250 °C peak), and operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. It is commonly deployed on 12 V sensor supply rails and CAN bus power domains. The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements when applied per Vishay's recommended layout and derating guidelines.
What does the "E3/96" suffix mean in TGL41-8.2-E3/96?
The "E3" denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD201 Class 1A for whisker resistance. The "/96" indicates packaging in 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel format with 1500 units per reel. This configuration ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports automated SMT assembly. The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 is shipped in dry-packed, moisture-barrier bags per J-STD-033.
How does the clamping voltage of TGL41-8.2-E3/96 compare to its breakdown voltage?
The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 clamps at 12.1 V when subjected to its rated 33.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), yielding a clamping ratio (VC/VBR) of approximately 1.55. This ratio reflects low incremental surge resistance and efficient energy diversion. Designers use this ratio to verify that protected ICs (e.g., microcontrollers with 13.2 V absolute max ratings) remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The TGL41-8.2-E3/96 maintains this performance across its full temperature range.
Can TGL41-8.2-E3/96 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TGL41-8.2-E3/96 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a blue cathode band. It conducts and clamps only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a pair of TGL41-8.2-E3/96 devices in series-opposed configuration-or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as TGL41-8.2CA-is required. Using a single TGL41-8.2-E3/96 in reverse bias risks permanent breakdown if VWM is exceeded.
