Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for TVS diodes is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a part qualifies as a direct substitute for the TGL41-24-E3/96:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Unidirectional channel configuration (1 channel required)
• Package type (DO-213AB, MELF surface mount)
• Voltage rating compatibility (Reverse Standoff and Clamping voltage ranges)
• Peak pulse current capability (minimum 11.5A)
• Peak pulse power rating (minimum 400W)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C)
• RoHS and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant)

The TGL41-24A-E3/96 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share the same base product number (TGL41), manufacturer, series designation, package specification, and compliance certifications. Electrical parameters remain within acceptable tolerance ranges for general-purpose TVS applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TGL41-24A-E3/96 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TGL41-24-E3/96. Selection is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status with Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part delivers equivalent or superior electrical characteristics. Peak pulse current capability increases from 11.5A to 12A, while clamping voltage decreases from 34.7V to 33.2V, representing improved transient suppression performance within the same power envelope (400W).

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical package specification (DO-213AB, MELF) and mounting type (surface mount) ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Thermal Characteristics: Operating temperature range remains constant at -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ), maintaining thermal performance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TGL41-24A-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for the TGL41-24-E3/96 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical DO-213AB (MELF) surface mount packages. No PCB layout changes are required for mechanical or electrical integration.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part (TGL41-24A-E3/96) operates at a slightly higher reverse standoff voltage (20.5V vs. 19.4V) and lower clamping voltage (33.2V vs. 34.7V), with marginally higher peak pulse current capability (12A vs. 11.5A). These variations remain within the design envelope for general-purpose TVS applications.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Vishay's manufacturing and product line decisions. The substitute part provides equivalent functionality with active production status, ensuring long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The TGL41-24A-E3/96 is available in active production with 3,511 pieces in new original stock, compared to 761 pieces of the obsolete original part.
