Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TGL41-62-E3/97 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series: Must be Vishay TransZorb® series to ensure design compatibility and performance consistency
• Device Type: Unidirectional Zener TVS diode with single channel configuration
• Package: DO-213AB (GL41) surface mount package for mechanical and thermal compatibility
• Voltage Rating: Reverse standoff voltage and clamping voltage must fall within acceptable operating ranges for the protected circuit
• Current Capability: Peak pulse current rating must meet or exceed the application requirement
• Temperature Range: Operating temperature specification must support the intended application environment
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating must be maintained

The TGL41-62A-E3/97 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both devices share identical package specifications, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications while operating within compatible voltage and current parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TGL41-62A-E3/97 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TGL41-62-E3/97. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, eliminating regulatory or environmental concerns during transition
• Package Compatibility: Identical DO-213AB (GL41) surface mount package ensures direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign
• Thermal Performance: Matching operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C) supports equivalent thermal management in the application
• Electrical Performance: The substitute provides comparable voltage protection characteristics with slightly improved peak pulse current capability (4.7A vs 4.5A), offering enhanced margin in transient suppression applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TGL41-62A-E3/97 be used as a direct replacement for the TGL41-62-E3/97 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both devices use the identical DO-213AB (GL41) surface mount package. No PCB layout modifications are required for mechanical or thermal compatibility.

Q: What are the voltage differences between these parts?

A: The TGL41-62A-E3/97 has a slightly higher reverse standoff voltage (53V vs 50.2V) and breakdown voltage (58.9V vs 55.8V), but a lower clamping voltage (85V vs 89V). These differences remain within the operational envelope for general purpose transient voltage suppression applications.

Q: Does the substitute part have better current handling capability?

A: The TGL41-62A-E3/97 provides a marginally higher peak pulse current rating of 4.7A compared to 4.5A in the original part. Both devices maintain the same 400W peak pulse power rating.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The TGL41-62A-E3/97 remains in active production and serves the same functional requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute?

A: The TGL41-62A-E3/97 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both parts use the GL41 (DO-213AB) device package specification.
