Product details
Overview
ZGL41-100A-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount, glass-passivated Zener diode in a plastic MELF (DO-213AB) package, rated for 100 V nominal Zener voltage at 3.7 mA test current, 1.0 W total power dissipation, and 1.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 76 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ZGL41-100A-E3/96 datasheet, ZGL41-100A-E3/96 pinout, ZGL41-100A-E3/96 application, or ZGL41-100A-E3/96 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), low dynamic impedance (250 Ω at IZT), thermal stability up to 150 °C junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, unidirectional voltage-regulating diode with cathode indicated by a red band. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low regulation factor across temperature, while the DO-213AB package supports automated placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements (peak 250 °C).
The ZGL41-100A-E3/96 delivers precise regulation under steady-state DC conditions, with specified surge current handling (10.0 A, 8.3 ms square wave) and derated power dissipation above 75 °C lead temperature. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of ~180 mV/°C near 100 V, confirmed in typical curves.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for ZGL41-100A-E3/96?
The ZGL41-100A-E3/96 has a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with a guaranteed tolerance range of 95 V to 105 V (±5 %) at IZT = 3.7 mA and TA = 25 °C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range (-55 to +150 °C), supported by the device's specified temperature coefficient of approximately +180 mV/°C.
Does ZGL41-100A-E3/96 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, ZGL41-100A-E3/96 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C and meets MSL Level 1 with a maximum peak temperature of 250 °C. Its matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, ensuring robust wetting and intermetallic formation during standard Pb-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum surge current rating for ZGL41-100A-E3/96?
The ZGL41-100A-E3/96 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 10.0 A with an 8.3 ms pulse width (square wave or equivalent sine-wave), as defined by JEDEC test method. This rating applies at TA = 25 °C and is critical for evaluating its suitability in load-dump or inductive-switching transient suppression circuits.
How does the DO-213AB package of ZGL41-100A-E3/96 affect thermal performance?
The DO-213AB (GL41) package of ZGL41-100A-E3/96 provides lower thermal resistance compared to axial DO-41 packages due to its cylindrical MELF geometry and direct end-soldering interface. When mounted on 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads, it achieves 1.0 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, enabling higher power density in compact SMT designs.
Is ZGL41-100A-E3/96 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, ZGL41-100A-E3/96 is RoHS-compliant (per Directive 2011/65/EU) and carries the "E3" suffix indicating commercial-grade, lead-free, and halogen-free construction. The molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and material compliance is documented per Vishay specification document 99912.
