Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TGL41-33-E3/97 is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Unidirectional channel configuration (1 channel required)
• Voltage - Reverse Standoff tolerance range
• Voltage - Breakdown minimum specification
• Voltage - Clamping maximum specification
• Current - Peak Pulse rating (10/1000µs)
• Power - Peak Pulse rating
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: DO-213AB, MELF
• Supplier Device Package: GL41 (DO-213AB)

Compliance & Status Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part TGL41-33A-E3/97 maintains compatibility across all mechanical parameters and operates within the same temperature range. Electrical parameters show minor variations within acceptable tolerance ranges for TVS diode applications, with the substitute offering comparable clamping voltage and peak pulse current specifications.
