Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection. It features 9.5 V to 10.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD), 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) at 10/1000 µs, 27.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 20 A IPPM, and operates from −65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed on signal lines of automotive sensor units to protect MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-10A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-10A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-10A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, low leakage (<5 µA at 8.55 V), AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility (E3 suffix denotes commercial grade; HE3 required for AEC-Q101), and compatibility with reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients. Its unidirectional polarity and 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 8.55 V support stable biasing in DC-coupled protection paths.
The device sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) at 8.3 ms half-sine, with 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A, making it suitable for high-energy transient clamping without forward conduction degradation. Thermal derating follows a defined curve up to TL = 75 °C, supporting reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications

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, same VBR range (9.0–11.1 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (32.4 V @ 12.3 A) | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 12 V rail protection; suitable where layout allows higher VC | Select SMAJ10A only if board space permits identical footprint and system can tolerate 32.4 V clamping. |
| SMCJ10A | DO-214AB package, larger body, 1500 W PPPM, same VBR (9.0–11.1 V), VC = 17.0 V @ 87.7 A | Higher surge rating and lower VC ideal for high-energy industrial transients, but requires larger PCB area | Choose SMCJ10A when protecting against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 5 (6 kV) or repeated motor-start events. |
Compared with SMAJ10A and SMCJ10A, TMPG06-10A-E3/73 delivers tighter VBR tolerance (±5%), lower VC (27.6 V), and optimized thermal resistance for high-temperature automotive mounting - offering superior clamping precision in constrained SMD layouts without sacrificing reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-10A-E3/73?
The TMPG06-10A-E3/73 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 9.5 V to 10.5 V measured at 1 mA test current, per Vishay Document 88404. This ±5% tolerance ensures precise clamping onset in 12 V automotive systems and enables accurate design margining for downstream IC protection. The value is verified per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-10A-E3/73 qualified to AEC-Q101?
TMPG06-10A-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per Vishay's internal specifications and RoHS/WEEE compliance. It is not AEC-Q101 qualified - that status requires the HE3 suffix. For automotive applications demanding AEC-Q101, engineers must specify TMPG06-10A-HE3/73; the TMPG06-10A-E3/73 remains suitable for non-safety-critical consumer and industrial use where high-temperature stability (up to +185 °C) is valued.
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-10A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-10A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 20 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table in Document 88404 and represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can TMPG06-10A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, TMPG06-10A-E3/73 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of Document 88404. Its internal structure lacks symmetrical avalanche characteristics; using it in bidirectional arrangements (e.g., across AC lines or differential pairs) will result in improper clamping or failure. For bidirectional protection, engineers must select a designated bidirectional variant such as TMPG06-10CA or equivalent.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TMPG06-10A-E3/73 at its stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 8.55 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TMPG06-10A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 µA. This low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and minimizes power loss in always-on automotive subsystems - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of Document 88404 and validated at TJ = 150 °C (≤50 µA).
