Product details
Overview
TMPG06-20A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 20 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 19.0–21.0 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 14.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 17.0 V, and 27.7 V clamping voltage at IPPM. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-20A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-20A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-20A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected device VDS/VCC, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity requirement, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs patented PAR® construction for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and 0.090 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient support operation in under-hood environments.
The device operates with a 17.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and delivers 27.7 V clamping at 14.4 A IPPM, ensuring robust overvoltage protection while maintaining low forward voltage (3.5 V at 25 A) during surge conduction. It is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 19.0 V / 21.0 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage with margin against tolerance drift |
| VWM | 17.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins; matches 12 V automotive systems with safety margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 27.7 V - clamping voltage limits stress on downstream MOSFET gate oxide or IC supply rails during 10/1000 µs transients |
| IPPM | 14.4 A - peak surge current capacity compatible with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) energy levels |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 µs waveform defines transient energy absorption capability |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near high-temperature components (e.g., engine control modules) without thermal derating failure |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on automotive circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated, 9.5 mm body length, lead pitch 2.54 mm. Cathode denoted by color band.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ20A | Same VBR range (19.0–21.0 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (32.4 V), and only 150 °C TJ max. | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable for commercial-grade industrial power supplies but not automotive under-hood use. | Select SMAJ20A only when automotive qualification is unnecessary and higher clamping voltage is acceptable. |
| SMCJ20A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC package, identical VBR/VC specs, and AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 variant). | Requires more PCB area; used where higher surge energy (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b) must be absorbed without cascaded devices. | Choose SMCJ20A when system-level testing requires >400 W single-device capability or extended thermal mass is available. |
Compared with SMAJ20A and SMCJ20A, the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, compact MPG06 footprint, and precise 27.7 V clamping-making it ideal for space-constrained ECU designs requiring certified reliability without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 14.4 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected devices remain within safe operating voltage limits during standardized surge events. The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance due to its patented PAR® construction.
Is the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use, as confirmed by its E3/54 ordering suffix and documentation in Vishay's Automotive Transient Voltage Suppressor product family. It meets requirements for high-temperature operation (TJ up to +185 °C), humidity resistance, and mechanical shock/vibration endurance. The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 is routinely deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules where certified reliability is mandatory.
What does the "A" in TMPG06-20A-E3/54 indicate?
The "A" suffix in TMPG06-20A-E3/54 denotes the tighter breakdown voltage tolerance version: VBR = 19.0–21.0 V (±5 %) versus 18.0–22.0 V (±10 %) for the non-A variant. This tighter specification ensures more predictable clamping onset in precision-sensitive applications such as low-voltage microcontroller supply protection. The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 maintains all other electrical and thermal ratings identical to the base TMPG06-20 variant.
Can the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts surge current from cathode to anode and blocks reverse voltage up to 17.0 V (VWM). For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines subject to ± transients), a separate symmetric TVS array or dual-diode configuration is required. The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 must be oriented with its cathode band toward the protected line and anode to ground.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 at its stand-off voltage?
The TMPG06-20A-E3/54 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 17.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. At elevated junction temperatures (e.g., 150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA, supporting low-power always-on functions in automotive networks. This low leakage is critical for preserving battery life in vehicle modules powered continuously, and the TMPG06-20A-E3/54 meets this requirement without compromise.
