Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13A-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 12.4 V to 13.7 V at 1 mA test current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.0 A peak pulse current, 18.2 V maximum clamping voltage at IPPM, 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 TMPG06-13A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-13A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-13A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-13A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under surge, thermal stability at 185 °C, unidirectional polarity, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q101 qualification via HE3-grade lineage (E3 denotes commercial grade).
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction with passivated junction and molded epoxy case (UL 94V-0), enabling high-reliability operation under repetitive transients. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective clamping of inductive-switching spikes before sensitive downstream ICs are damaged.
Rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it supports robust protection in harsh environments where junction temperatures reach 185 °C - critical for under-hood automotive electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 12.4 V min to 13.7 V max at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates reliably |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 18.2 V at 22.0 A IPPM - limits peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform, 0.01 % duty cycle) - quantifies single-event surge energy handling |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +185 °C - enables deployment in engine control modules and transmission ECUs |
| Reverse Leakage ID | ≤1.0 µA at 11.1 V and ≤5.0 µA at 150 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ13A | DO-214AA package; 13 V V(BR) range (11.7–14.3 V); same 400 W PPPM but higher VF (3.5 V @ 25 A) | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W vs. MPG06's ~35 °C/W) limits high-ambient use | Select SMBJ13A only if DO-214AA footprint is fixed and ambient temperature stays below 125 °C |
| SMCJ13A | DO-214AB package; identical V(BR) and PPPM specs but 1500 W rating (10/1000 µs); larger footprint and 3.3 W PD | Over-specified for most signal-line protection; better suited for bulk power rail clamping | Choose SMCJ13A only when system-level surge testing requires >400 W margin or PCB layout allows larger case |
Compared with TMPG06-13A-E3/73, SMBJ13A offers identical electrical protection in a smaller, less thermally robust package, while SMCJ13A delivers higher surge capacity at the cost of size and layout compatibility - TMPG06-13A-E3/73 balances automotive-grade reliability, thermal performance, and compactness for signal-level protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-13A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-13A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V at 22.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The clamping voltage is guaranteed per Vishay Document Number 88404 and applies directly to the TMPG06-13A-E3/73 device under specified test conditions.
Is TMPG06-13A-E3/73 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
The TMPG06-13A-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. While not itself AEC-Q101 certified, it shares the same die and PAR® construction as the HE3-suffix variants (e.g., TMPG06-13A-HE3), which are AEC-Q101 qualified. Engineers using TMPG06-13A-E3/73 in automotive designs must verify system-level compliance; for certified applications, TMPG06-13A-HE3 is the designated variant.
What does the "-E3/73" suffix mean in TMPG06-13A-E3/73?
The "E3" denotes Vishay's commercial-grade packaging standard (matte tin leads, RoHS-compliant, 260 °C solder dip rated), while "/73" specifies the tape-and-reel packaging option: 73 indicates 13-inch diameter reel with 5500 units per reel, per Vishay's ordering nomenclature in Document 88404. This format ensures consistent automated assembly and traceability for the TMPG06-13A-E3/73.
How does TMPG06-13A-E3/73 compare to TMPG06-13-E3/73 in terms of electrical performance?
TMPG06-13A-E3/73 has tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (12.4–13.7 V) versus TMPG06-13-E3/73 (11.7–14.3 V), resulting in more predictable clamping onset and lower V(BR) variation. Both share identical PPPM (400 W), VC (18.2 V vs. 19.0 V), and thermal ratings. The "A" suffix reflects enhanced V(BR) binning - critical for designs requiring precise standoff-to-clamp margin, such as low-voltage microcontroller I/O protection.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TMPG06-13A-E3/73 at elevated temperature?
At 11.1 V stand-off voltage and TJ = 150 °C, the TMPG06-13A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 5.0 µA, as specified in Vishay Document 88404. This elevated-temperature leakage remains well below levels that would disrupt high-impedance sensor interfaces or cause cumulative power loss in battery-operated systems using the TMPG06-13A-E3/73.
