Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11-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 a breakdown voltage range of 9.9 V to 12.1 V at 1 mA test current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 16.2 V maximum clamping voltage at 24.7 A peak pulse current, and operates from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed on signal lines and MOSFET gates in automotive sensor units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-11-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-11-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-11-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage vs. IPPM, VBR tolerance, low leakage (<2.0 µA at 8.92 V), AEC-Q101 eligibility (E3 suffix denotes commercial grade), and UL 94V-0 epoxy encapsulation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction with passivated junction and molded epoxy case (MPG06), delivering fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity enables robust reverse-biased clamping during inductive switching transients.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it maintains stable VBR with ±0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient and exhibits <3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A - critical for minimizing conduction loss during fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 9.9 V / 12.1 V at 1 mA - defines reliable turn-on threshold under temperature variation |
| VC @ IPPM | 16.2 V at 24.7 A - limits protected circuit voltage during 400 W transient |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - handles high-energy surges without failure |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive inrush or load-dump events |
| TJ range | –65 °C to +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive operation |
| ID @ VWM | <2.0 µA at 8.92 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-critical systems |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC outline, 9.5 mm body length, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads |

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 | DO-214AC package, bidirectional, VBR = 12.2–13.5 V, VC = 18.2 V @ 21.3 A, PPPM = 400 W | Supports AC-coupled or floating signal lines; higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 5 V logic | Select when bidirectional protection is required; verify layout accommodates same footprint but different polarity marking |
| SMCJ11A | DO-214AB package, larger body (7.11 mm x 6.22 mm), VBR = 12.2–13.5 V, VC = 18.2 V @ 32.4 A, PPPM = 1500 W | Higher surge rating suits heavy industrial environments; requires more PCB area and thermal relief | Choose for enhanced ruggedness where space permits; not drop-in due to larger outline and different lead spacing |
Compared with SMAJ11A and SMCJ11A, TMPG06-11-E3/73 offers tighter VBR tolerance (±10 % vs. ±5 %), lower clamping voltage (16.2 V vs. ≥18.2 V), and optimized thermal resistance for compact automotive modules - making it preferred where board space and voltage margin are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-11-E3/73?
The TMPG06-11-E3/73 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 9.9 V to 12.1 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This ±10 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in automotive and industrial transient suppression circuits where precise clamping thresholds are required.
Is TMPG06-11-E3/73 qualified to AEC-Q101?
No - TMPG06-11-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. For AEC-Q101 compliance, the HE3 suffix variant (e.g., TMPG06-11A-HE3) must be selected. The TMPG06-11-E3/73 meets all electrical and mechanical specs of the family but lacks the extended reliability testing required for automotive under-hood deployment.
What does the "73" in TMPG06-11-E3/73 signify?
The "73" in TMPG06-11-E3/73 is Vishay's internal packaging code specifying 7-inch diameter tape-and-reel delivery with 5500 units per reel. It corresponds to the same physical device as TMPG06-11-E3/54 (13-inch reel), differing only in packaging format - both share identical electrical characteristics and MPG06 package dimensions.
Can TMPG06-11-E3/73 replace a standard 1N4007 in power rectification?
No - TMPG06-11-E3/73 is a transient voltage suppressor diode, not a general-purpose rectifier. It is optimized for fast clamping of high-energy surges, not continuous forward conduction. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A make it unsuitable for rectification; use dedicated rectifiers like 1N4007 or MUR series instead.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-11-E3/73 under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-11-E3/73 is 16.2 V, measured at 24.7 A peak pulse current using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for system-level overvoltage margin calculations in protected circuits.
