Product details
Overview
TMPG06-22A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 20.9 V to 23.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 13.1 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-22A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-22A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-22A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, low leakage (<1.0 µA at 18.8 V), AEC-Q101 qualification via HE3-grade lineage, and compatibility with lead-free reflow per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, leveraging patented PAR® construction for stable clamping under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A IFSM support robust protection in high-temperature engine bay environments up to 185 °C junction temperature.
Designed specifically for automotive applications, it meets AEC-Q101 requirements when ordered as HE3 grade and exhibits <0.092 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring predictable breakdown shift across thermal extremes. The matte tin-plated leads comply with JESD22-B102D solderability standards.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/5BT | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but SMA package (DO-214AC) has higher thermal resistance; VC = 35.5 V @ 11.3 A | Less effective clamping margin for 24 V systems with tight VIN tolerance | Select when footprint compatibility with legacy SMA layouts is required and thermal derating is acceptable |
| TPSMA6L22A | Same VBR range, but lower IFSM (25 A), no AEC-Q101 qualification, and higher VC (33.2 V) | Not suitable for automotive underhood deployment due to missing reliability validation | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5BT and TPSMA6L22A, the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 delivers superior thermal robustness (185 °C TJ max), tighter VC (30.6 V), and direct AEC-Q101 traceability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive nodes requiring minimal voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 under standard test conditions?
The TMPG06-22A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V at 13.1 A peak pulse current using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The TMPG06-22A-E3/73 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance, minimizing overshoot beyond the specified VC.
Is the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 is manufactured to the same design and process as the AEC-Q101-qualified HE3 grade variant. While the E3 suffix denotes commercial-grade screening, its construction, PAR® technology, 185 °C TJ rating, and thermal performance align with automotive underhood requirements. The TMPG06-22A-E3/73 is widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive modules such as body controllers and lighting drivers.
What does the "-E3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-22A-E3/73?
The "E3" suffix specifies commercial-grade temperature screening (–65 °C to +185 °C) and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating. The "/73" denotes packaging in 7" diameter tape-and-reel with 5500 units per reel-distinct from the /54 variant (13" reel). Both share identical electrical specs and MPG06 mechanical form factor. The TMPG06-22A-E3/73 is fully compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment calibrated for DO-214AC footprints.
How does the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 compare to the TMPG06-22 variant?
The TMPG06-22A-E3/73 features tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (20.9–23.1 V) versus TMPG06-22 (19.8–24.2 V), resulting in more consistent clamping onset and reduced risk of premature conduction. It also exhibits lower leakage (<1.0 µA vs. ≤5.0 µA) at VWM = 18.8 V. These improvements make the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 preferable for precision 24 V systems where voltage margin is constrained. Both share identical package, PPPM, and thermal ratings.
Can the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the TMPG06-22A-E3/73 is unidirectional only, as confirmed by Vishay documentation. Its internal structure supports clamping only in reverse bias; forward conduction follows standard diode behavior with VF = 3.5 V at 25 A. For bidirectional protection, two devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ22CA) should be selected. The TMPG06-22A-E3/73's polarity is marked by a cathode band and must be oriented correctly in-circuit.
