Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24A-E3/54 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 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1 mA test current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 12.0 A peak pulse current, and clamps transients to ≤33.2 V at rated current - deployed on signal lines and MOSFET gates in automotive sensor units and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-24A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-24A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-24A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at IPPM, junction temperature rating up to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity confirmation, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q101 qualification status (E3 suffix denotes commercial grade, not HE3).
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for stable clamping under high-temperature stress and repetitive surge conditions. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time enable effective suppression of inductive-switching transients and ESD events on sensitive analog and digital signal paths.
Rated for operation from −65 °C to +185 °C, it maintains <1.0 µA reverse leakage at 20.5 V stand-off voltage and exhibits a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage of +0.094 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in engine bay and powertrain electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 22.8 V min to 25.2 V max at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates under controlled DC test |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Clamping Voltage VC | ≤33.2 V at 12.0 A IPPM - actual voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - energy-handling capacity for transient suppression without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial power systems |
| Reverse Leakage ID | ≤1.0 µA at VWM - ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sensor or communication lines |
| Surge Current IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive inrush or fault currents in power rail protection |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 9.5 mm length, 3.18 mm max lead diameter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to ground or lower-potential node in unidirectional TVS configuration | Provides low-impedance path to ground during reverse-transient clamping; must be routed with minimal inductance |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked by color band; connected to protected line | Acts as the "input" terminal for transient energy; voltage referenced to anode during clamping event |
Key Features

| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, and 5a transients in 12 V automotive systems |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.31) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream ICs while maintaining margin above VWM |
| 185 °C max junction temperature | Permits placement near heat sources (e.g., power modules, ECUs) without derating concerns |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC and JESD22-B102D solderability standards for automated assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Same VWM (20.5 V) and VC (33.2 V), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ24A's 400 W); identical MPG06 footprint and unidirectional polarity | Qualified to AEC-Q101 only in HE3 variant; standard SMAJ24A is commercial-grade like TMPG06-24A-E3/54 | Select TMPG06-24A-E3/54 when PAR® construction and higher Tj max (185 °C vs. 150 °C) are required for under-hood use |
| 1.5SMC24A | Higher package thermal mass (SMC vs. MPG06); same V(BR) range but higher VC (36.0 V) and lower Tj max (175 °C) | Used in non-automotive industrial power supplies where PCB space allows larger SMC package | Choose TMPG06-24A-E3/54 for space-constrained automotive modules needing tighter clamping and extended temperature range |
Compared with SMAJ24A and 1.5SMC24A, TMPG06-24A-E3/54 delivers superior thermal endurance (185 °C), lower clamping voltage, and patented PAR® junction design - making it preferred for high-reliability automotive signal-line protection where layout density and ambient temperature are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-24A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.0 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under defined test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuits. The TMPG06-24A-E3/54 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance, contributing to reliable system-level surge immunity.
Is the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101?
No - the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per Vishay's internal standards and RoHS compliance, but not full AEC-Q101 stress testing. For AEC-Q101 qualification, the HE3 suffix variant (e.g., TMPG06-24A-HE3/54) is required. The TMPG06-24A-E3/54 remains widely used in automotive subsystems where thermal and surge performance meet design requirements without formal qualification.
What does the "A" in TMPG06-24A-E3/54 signify?
The "A" denotes the tighter tolerance version of the device: TMPG06-24A-E3/54 has a breakdown voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V (±5 % around nominal 24 V), whereas the non-A variant TMPG06-24-E3/54 spans 21.6 V to 26.4 V (±10 %). This tighter V(BR) distribution improves predictability in clamping threshold across production lots and supports more precise system-level surge margin analysis for the TMPG06-24A-E3/54.
Can the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 is specified and characterized exclusively for unidirectional operation, as confirmed in its datasheet features and electrical characteristics table. It lacks symmetrical breakdown behavior and is not rated for reverse conduction. For bidirectional protection, discrete back-to-back configurations or purpose-built bidirectional TVS devices (e.g., SMBJ24CA) must be used instead of the TMPG06-24A-E3/54.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 junction?
The TMPG06-24A-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +185 °C, validated per its datasheet absolute maximum ratings table. This enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine control units, transmission control modules, and industrial motor drives. Derating curves in Figure 2 confirm usable power dissipation down to zero at 185 °C ambient, confirming the TMPG06-24A-E3/54's suitability for thermally demanding placements.
