Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 10.5 V maximum breakdown voltage (VBR), 27.6 V clamping voltage at 20 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-10A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-10A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-10A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 20 A, unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101-compatibility via HE3-grade lineage, RoHS/WEEE compliance, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 8.55 V stand-off voltage.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating supports repetitive 0.01% duty cycle operation with thermal stability up to 185 °C junction temperature.
The device operates with a 9.50–10.5 V breakdown range at 1 mA test current, 8.55 V stand-off voltage, and exhibits only 0.073 %/°C temperature coefficient - critical for stable clamping across automotive ambient ranges. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002B solderability standards and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.50 V / 10.5 V at 1 mA - defines reliable turn-on threshold before clamping begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 27.6 V at 20 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without bond wire failure |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near high-temperature engine-control electronics |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5.0 µA at 8.55 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on sensor circuits |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC outline, 9.5 mm body length, UL 94V-0 epoxy |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 package is a molded epoxy surface-mount case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode denoted by color band. Leads are solderable per J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D, rated for 260 °C dip for 40 s.

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial PLC Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V switched loads (e.g., relays, solenoids) from inductive kickback in BCM power distribution networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between load driver output and chassis ground to clamp negative-going transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ10A | DO-214AC package, 10 V VBR, 27.2 V VC @ 20.5 A, 400 W PPPM, but rated only to 150 °C TJ | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and high-temp stability beyond 150 °C | Preferred for cost-sensitive consumer designs where under-hood temperature extremes are absent |
| SMCJ10A | DO-214AB package, same VBR/VC, 1500 W PPPM, 200 A IPPM, 175 °C TJ max | Higher surge capacity but larger footprint and higher capacitance - may affect high-speed signal integrity | Selected when system-level surge testing exceeds ISO 7637-2 Level IV and PCB space permits larger case |
Compared with SMAJ10A and SMCJ10A, the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 delivers superior high-temperature reliability (185 °C vs. 150–175 °C), identical clamping performance at lower surge currents, and automotive-grade process traceability - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained engine-bay placements.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-10A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.6 V at 20 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees the protected circuit will not experience more than 27.6 V during such transients - a critical parameter for safeguarding 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces downstream of the TMPG06-10A-E3/54.
Is the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101?
The TMPG06-10A-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. However, its die and PAR® construction are shared with the HE3-grade variant, which is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified. While the E3 version itself is not certified, its identical electrical and thermal behavior - including 185 °C TJ max and automotive-grade process flow - makes it widely accepted in non-safety-critical automotive applications where full AEC-Q101 documentation is not mandated for the TMPG06-10A-E3/54.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-10A-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes Vishay's commercial-grade reliability level with standard screening, while "/54" specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel containing 5500 units. This packaging complies with EIA-481-D standards and is optimized for high-volume automated SMT placement. The TMPG06-10A-E3/54 is supplied in this format with guaranteed moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 handling per J-STD-020.
How does the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 compare to the TMPG06-10 in terms of breakdown voltage?
The TMPG06-10A-E3/54 has a tighter breakdown voltage tolerance: 9.50–10.5 V at 1 mA, versus the TMPG06-10's wider 9.00–11.0 V range. This ±5% spread (vs. ±10%) ensures more predictable turn-on behavior in precision clamping applications - especially valuable in systems where marginal overvoltage could trigger false resets or latch-up. Both share identical package, power rating, and thermal specs.
Can the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the datasheet features section. It conducts and clamps only positive transients relative to its cathode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), two devices must be connected anode-to-anode or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ10CA must be selected - the TMPG06-10A-E3/54 does not support reverse-polarity clamping.
