TGL41-62-E3/96 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TGL41-62-E3/96 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, part of the TransZorb® series. This component is designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications and features a 50.2V reverse standoff voltage with an 89V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current. The device is housed in a DO-213AB (MELF) surface mount package.

The TGL41-62-E3/96 is classified as obsolete. Identifying suitable substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TGL41-62-E3/96 is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Unidirectional Channel Configuration: Must remain 1 channel
• Package Type: Must be DO-213AB (MELF) surface mount
• Voltage Class: Reverse standoff voltage and clamping voltage must fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for the protected circuit
• Peak Pulse Current Rating: Must support the required transient current levels
• Power Dissipation: Peak pulse power rating must be adequate for the application
• Operating Temperature Range: Must maintain -55°C to 150°C performance envelope
• Manufacturer Series Compatibility: TransZorb® series devices maintain consistent electrical and mechanical characteristics

The TGL41-62A-E3/96 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TGL41-62A-E3/96 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TGL41-62-E3/96. Both devices maintain identical mechanical compatibility through the DO-213AB (MELF) surface mount package and identical thermal operating ranges. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

The TGL41-62A-E3/96 offers active product status with higher current capacity (4.7A versus 4.5A) and improved availability. The voltage parameters show minor variations: the substitute exhibits a 53V reverse standoff voltage (compared to 50.2V) and an 85V maximum clamping voltage (compared to 89V). These variations remain within the functional envelope of the TransZorb® series and do not compromise substitution validity for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TGL41-62A-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for the TGL41-62-E3/96?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical package geometry (DO-213AB, MELF), mounting type (surface mount), thermal range (-55°C to 150°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The electrical parameter variations fall within acceptable substitution tolerances for general-purpose TVS applications.

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

A: The TGL41-62A-E3/96 features a 53V reverse standoff voltage and 85V clamping voltage, compared to the main part's 50.2V and 89V respectively. The substitute also provides 4.7A peak pulse current versus 4.5A. The TGL41-62A-E3/96 maintains active product status, whereas the TGL41-62-E3/96 is obsolete.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical DO-213AB (MELF) surface mount packaging and are supplied in the same package configuration. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TGL41-62-E3/96 and TGL41-62A-E3/96 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. REACH status is unaffected for both devices.

Q: What is the basis for substitution between these parts?

A: Substitution is based on matching unidirectional channel configuration (1 channel), identical package type (DO-213AB), compatible voltage ratings within the TransZorb® series specification envelope, equivalent power dissipation capability (400W), and identical operating temperature range. Both devices are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division within the same product series.
