Equivalent & Substitute Parts for TGL41-200-E3/96

Part Overview

The TGL41-200-E3/96 from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division is a TransZorb® series Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode operating as a unidirectional zener type device. It is designed for general-purpose applications requiring overvoltage protection with a voltage reverse standoff (VWM) of 162V, a breakdown voltage minimum of 180V, a maximum clamping voltage of 287V, and a peak pulse power rating of 200W. The product is supplied in a DO-213AB (GL41) surface mount package. The current status of the TGL41-200-E3/96 is obsolete, making it necessary to identify alternative models with comparable parameters and package for continued product support and design continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TGL41-200-E3/96 is obsolete. Its substitute, TGL41-200A-E3/96, is active and maintains ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and the same moisture sensitivity level. Selection based on these regulatory and availability criteria is aligned with operational requirements for environmental compliance and continuous supply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the most critical parameter when selecting a substitute for the TGL41-200-E3/96 TVS diode?
A1: The most critical parameters are voltage ratings (reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage), peak pulse current, peak pulse power, and package compatibility.

Q2: Are the GL41 and DO-213AB packages mechanically compatible?
A2: Yes. The main part and its substitute both specify DO-213AB (GL41) as their case and supplier device package.

Q3: Can the TGL41-200A-E3/96 be used in place of the TGL41-200-E3/96 without modifications to the PCB footprint?
A3: Both use the DO-213AB, MELF package, so no PCB footprint modifications are required.

Q4: Are there differences in environmental compliance between the main part and the substitute?
A4: Both the TGL41-200-E3/96 and the TGL41-200A-E3/96 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and have a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited).

Q5: Why is it necessary to find a substitute for the TGL41-200-E3/96?
A5: The TGL41-200-E3/96 is classified as obsolete, requiring substitution for ongoing production and design support.
