Product details
Overview
TMPG06-20-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection with 20 V breakdown voltage (VBR: 18.0–22.0 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 40 A peak forward surge current, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-20-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-20-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-20-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-20-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (29.1 V at 13.7 A), low leakage (<1.0 µA at 16.2 V), AEC-Q101-compatibility via E3 suffix (commercial grade), and UL 94V-0 epoxy packaging - all critical for robust overvoltage protection in high-reliability embedded electronics.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon avalanche diode with patented PAR® construction, delivering fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance to clamp transient voltages before sensitive downstream components are damaged. Its unidirectional polarity and color-band cathode marking ensure correct PCB orientation during assembly.
The TMPG06-20-E3/54 is rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C, with thermal derating above 25 °C per Figure 2 and validated performance under repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01% duty cycle. Stand-off voltage is 16.2 V, enabling reliable blocking of normal operating signals while triggering conduction only during overvoltage events exceeding VBR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 18.0 V / 22.0 V - Ensures consistent avalanche initiation across temperature and unit variation |
| VC @ IPPM | 29.1 V at 13.7 A - Maximum clamped voltage during 400 W transient, limiting stress on protected circuitry |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA at 16.2 V - Negligible leakage current preserves signal integrity and power efficiency |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive kick scenarios |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Supports under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures |
| Package | MPG06 - Surface-mount molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated |
| RoHS/WEEE | Compliant - Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC and 2002/96/EC requirements |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 is a DO-214AC (SMC) surface-mount package with two terminals: anode and cathode. The cathode is marked by a color band on the body. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D standards. Dimensions: 9.5 mm length × 7.1 mm width × 2.5 mm height (0.375" × 0.280" × 0.100").
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to protected circuit ground or low-side reference | Provides low-VF path (3.5 V @ 25 A) during surge conduction; must be routed with low-inductance trace |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked by color band; connected to line being protected | Defines polarity-sensitive clamping direction; incorrect orientation disables transient suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR® construction | Enables uniform current distribution across junction area, improving surge reliability and reducing hot-spot formation |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Handles automotive load-dump pulses (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without degradation over 1000+ cycles |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during clamping, protecting 24 V-rated ICs and gate drivers |
| 185 °C max junction temperature | Supports placement near heat-generating components (e.g., power MOSFETs) without thermal derating penalties |
| Solder dip 260 °C, 40 s | Validates compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles and manual repair processes |
Applications

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 | DO-214AC package, bidirectional, 20 V standoff, 400 W PPPM, but higher VC = 32.4 V @ 12.3 A | Requires polarity-insensitive protection; less effective for DC-biased lines where unidirectional clamping is preferred | Select SMAJ20A only when bidirectional capability is required; TMPG06-20-E3/54 offers lower clamping and tighter VBR tolerance |
| SMCJ20A | DO-214AB package, same unidirectional configuration, 20 V standoff, 1500 W PPPM, VC = 32.4 V @ 46.7 A | Higher power rating suits larger systems (e.g., engine control units); larger footprint increases board area and thermal mass | Choose SMCJ20A for >400 W surge requirements; TMPG06-20-E3/54 provides optimal size/power balance for space-constrained BCMs |
Compared with SMAJ20A and SMCJ20A, the TMPG06-20-E3/54 delivers superior clamping performance (29.1 V vs. ≥32.4 V) in a compact MPG06 outline, making it ideal for automotive modules where PCB real estate and voltage margin are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-20-E3/54 under full-rated surge current?
The TMPG06-20-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 29.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 13.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 24 V-rated components. The clamping behavior is repeatable across temperature and unit-to-unit variation due to the device's patented PAR® junction design.
Is the TMPG06-20-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101?
The TMPG06-20-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per JESD22-A108 and RoHS/WEEE compliance. While not itself AEC-Q101 certified, it belongs to the TMPG06 family where the HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Engineers selecting TMPG06-20-E3/54 should verify system-level qualification requirements; for full automotive qualification, TMPG06-20-HE3/54 is the designated variant.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-20-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes Vishay's commercial-grade reliability level with standard screening, while "/54" specifies the preferred packaging code: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel containing 5500 units. This format supports automated SMT placement and is compatible with industry-standard feeders. The unit weight is 0.218 g, and lead finish meets J-STD-002B solderability requirements.
Can the TMPG06-20-E3/54 be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No - the TMPG06-20-E3/54 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It conducts surge current only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential pairs), a dual-diode configuration or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ20A is required. Using TMPG06-20-E3/54 on bidirectional signals risks reverse-bias breakdown and failure.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMPG06-20-E3/54?
The TMPG06-20-E3/54 has a specified operating junction and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +185 °C. At ambient temperatures above 25 °C, power derating applies per Figure 2 in the datasheet (Document Number 88404), with full 1.0 W dissipation allowed only up to 75 °C lead temperature. Its 185 °C TJ max enables use in under-hood automotive locations where conventional TVS devices would thermally throttle.
