Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 10.5 V to 11.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 15.6 V clamping voltage at 10 A IPPM, 2.0 µA max reverse leakage at 9.40 V stand-off, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for protecting MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-11A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-11A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-11A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, low incremental surge resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification status (E3 suffix denotes commercial grade; HE3 required for AEC-Q101), thermal stability up to 185 °C, and compatibility with J-STD-002B soldering standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to achieve fast response time (<1 ns) and low dynamic impedance, enabling effective suppression of inductive switching transients and ESD events on low-voltage signal paths. Its unidirectional polarity and 9.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM) make it suitable for DC-biased protection circuits where forward conduction must be avoided during normal operation.
The device operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and maintains stable VBR with 0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient. It sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits <3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A, supporting robust fault-current handling without latch-up in high-energy automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 10.5 V / 11.6 V at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage |
| VWM | 9.40 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; sets safe margin below breakdown for stable standby operation |
| VC @ IPPM=10 A | 15.6 V - clamped voltage during 10 A transient; determines maximum stress imposed on protected circuitry |
| ID @ VWM | ≤2.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on automotive modules |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - peak surge energy absorption capacity; meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a requirements |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended thermal rating enables placement near high-power components without derating |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount molded epoxy case (9.5 mm length), UL 94V-0 rated, matte tin-plated leads |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 is a 2-terminal axial-lead surface-mount package with cathode indicated by color band. Terminals are matte tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002B solderability standards. No internal pins - device functions as a two-terminal bidirectional clamp in unidirectional configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during forward conduction | Connects to ground or low-side return path; enables safe dissipation of positive transients when used in unidirectional mode |
| Cathode | Current exit during reverse breakdown | Connects to protected line (e.g., sensor supply or CAN bias); conducts surge current into ground during overvoltage event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR® construction | Enables sub-nanosecond response and consistent clamping across temperature and lifetime |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets stringent automotive load-dump and inductive-switching immunity requirements per ISO 7637-2 |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients, reducing risk of logic upset in microcontrollers |
| RoHS-compliant & UL 94V-0 epoxy | Supports environmentally regulated production and flame-retardant board-level safety compliance |
| Solder dip rated 260 °C / 40 s | Withstands standard reflow and wave-solder processes without parameter shift or delamination |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11A | Same VBR range (10.5–11.6 V), but SMB package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass); 600 W PPPM, 17.0 V VC @ 10 A | Higher clamping voltage increases stress on protected ICs; lower thermal mass limits repetitive surge duty cycle | Select when board space is constrained and single-event surge dominates; verify thermal design for >0.01% duty cycle use |
| TPSMF11A | DFN1006 package, 400 W rating, 15.4 V VC @ 10 A, 1.0 µA ID; AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3-grade equivalent) | Surface-mount only, no axial leads; requires rework-compatible layout; tighter leakage spec improves low-power sleep mode | Prefer for new automotive designs requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and automated assembly; not drop-in compatible with MPG06 footprint |
Compared with SMBJ11A and TPSMF11A, TMPG06-11A-E3/73 offers superior thermal robustness (185 °C TJ max, 1.0 W PD), axial-leaded mechanical stability for high-vibration environments, and proven field reliability in legacy automotive platforms - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability under-hood applications where leaded mounting is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-11A-E3/73 at 10 A peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-11A-E3/73 is 15.6 V when subjected to a 10 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the maximum voltage seen across the device during standardized surge testing. It directly determines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry, making TMPG06-11A-E3/73 suitable for safeguarding 12 V systems with 3.3 V or 5 V interface ICs.
Is TMPG06-11A-E3/73 qualified to AEC-Q101?
No, TMPG06-11A-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per Vishay's internal specifications and RoHS/WEEE compliance. For AEC-Q101 qualification, the HE3 suffix variant (e.g., TMPG06-11A-HE3/73) must be selected. The E3 version shares identical electrical parameters and package but lacks the extended reliability testing required for automotive under-hood deployment per AEC-Q101.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why does it matter for TMPG06-11A-E3/73?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of TMPG06-11A-E3/73 is 9.40 V - the maximum continuous reverse voltage that can be applied without triggering significant conduction. This parameter ensures the device remains effectively invisible to the circuit during normal operation, minimizing leakage current (<2.0 µA) and avoiding interference with signal integrity or power efficiency. It establishes the safe operating margin below the 10.5–11.6 V breakdown range.
Can TMPG06-11A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, TMPG06-11A-E3/73 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88404. Its internal structure and test methodology assume cathode-to-anode surge conduction. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ11CA or an anti-parallel pair would be required - TMPG06-11A-E3/73 cannot be repurposed without violating its rated performance and reliability envelope.
What is the thermal resistance and power dissipation capability of TMPG06-11A-E3/73?
TMPG06-11A-E3/73 has a power dissipation rating (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C. Its thermal resistance from junction to leads (RθJL) is not explicitly published, but the 185 °C maximum junction temperature and 1.0 W PD rating indicate suitability for moderate-power surge absorption without external heatsinking. Derating curves in Figure 2 show linear reduction above 25 °C ambient.
