Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS) in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection with 9.9–12.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 16.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 24.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It operates from −65 °C to +185 °C and protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-11-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-11-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-11-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity confirmation via cathode band, and RoHS/WEEE compliance for automotive production.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of inductive switching transients and ESD events. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A IFSM support robust surge handling without thermal runaway under repetitive stress.
The device features a maximum reverse leakage of 2.0 µA at 8.92 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and a temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.075 %/°C, ensuring stable clamping across automotive operating ranges. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002B solderability standards and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.90 V / 12.1 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins reliably |
| VC @ IPPM | 16.2 V at 24.7 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge, critical for IC-level voltage margining |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - peak transient energy absorption capability without failure |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current tolerance for inductive load turn-off events |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in high-temperature engine bay environments without derating penalties |
| VWM | 8.92 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage onset |
| ID @ VWM | 2.0 µA - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity on low-current sensor lines |
Pinout & Package

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins and LIN bus transceivers from load-dump and inductive kickback in 12 V vehicle systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between protected signal line and chassis ground to clamp transients below IC absolute maximum ratings. Use Value: Clamps to 16.2 V at 24.7 A, maintaining safe margin below 20 V MCU input limits while surviving repeated 400 W surges per ISO 7637-2. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding gate drivers and feedback sensors in variable-frequency drives exposed to relay coil switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on isolated analog feedback paths to prevent latch-up during 8.3 ms motor contactor de-energization. Use Value: 2.0 µA leakage at 8.92 V preserves ADC accuracy; 185 °C rating allows mounting near heatsinks without derating. |
| Automotive Camera Module Power Rail | Telecom Base Station Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding 5 V power supply inputs of ADAS cameras from battery line transients during cold-crank and jump-start conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on camera module input rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO. Use Value: 16.2 V clamping ensures downstream 5 V LDO remains within dropout range; 40 A IFSM handles cold-crank surge peaks. |
Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 transceiver bias networks and temperature/humidity sensor inputs in outdoor telecom cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS on differential data lines to suppress lightning-induced surges without distorting signal integrity. Use Value: 2.0 µA leakage minimizes offset error in precision sensor bridges; UL 94V-0 epoxy prevents flame propagation in enclosed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ11A | Same VBR range (10.5–12.7 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (18.2 V), and SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to 150 °C TJ max and reduced thermal stability | Select when board space is constrained and ambient temperature stays below 125 °C; verify thermal relief on PCB for sustained surges |
| SMCJ11A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VBR/VC specs, SMC package (larger, better thermal dissipation) | Better for infrequent but extreme surges (e.g., ISO 16750-2 Load Dump); over-spec'd for typical sensor line protection | Choose when system-level testing requires >1000 W surge margin or long-term reliability under cyclic thermal stress is critical |
Compared with SMAJ11A and SMCJ11A, TMPG06-11-E3/54 offers optimized balance of high-temperature operation (185 °C), precise clamping (16.2 V), and automotive-grade reliability in a mid-size MPG06 package-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding ECU and sensor interface designs where both surge robustness and thermal headroom are essential.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-11-E3/54 and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-11-E3/54 is 16.2 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 24.7 A using a standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the maximum voltage that appears across the device terminals during surge conduction and is critical for ensuring protected circuits remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings. The TMPG06-11-E3/54 achieves this clamping performance consistently across its full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-11-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, TMPG06-11-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix indicating commercial grade, but its underlying MPG06 platform is qualified to AEC-Q101 when ordered with HE3 suffix (e.g., TMPG06-11-HE3/54). The device's 185 °C maximum junction temperature, robust PAR® construction, and compliance with RoHS/WEEE directives make TMPG06-11-E3/54 suitable for automotive environments-though design-in for safety-critical systems should confirm qualification status with Vishay documentation for the exact orderable part.
How does the 0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient affect TMPG06-11-E3/54 performance?
The 0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR means the breakdown voltage increases by approximately 0.009 V/°C over the −65 °C to +185 °C range. For TMPG06-11-E3/54, this results in a predictable VBR shift of ~1.9 V across the full temperature span, ensuring stable clamping behavior in under-hood applications. This coefficient supports accurate system-level margining without unexpected voltage drift during thermal cycling.
What is the meaning of the "-E3/54" suffix in TMPG06-11-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes commercial-grade temperature rating (−65 °C to +185 °C) and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, while "/54" specifies the packaging format: 13″ diameter paper tape and reel containing 5500 units. This packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly and aligns with IPC-7351 standards for MPG06 footprint placement. The TMPG06-11-E3/54 is supplied ready for high-volume SMT production without rework.
Can TMPG06-11-E3/54 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, TMPG06-11-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode and cannot suppress positive-going transients on grounded lines. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a separate symmetric TVS array or dual-diode configuration is required. Using TMPG06-11-E3/54 in bidirectional roles may result in catastrophic failure during reverse-polarity surges.
