Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, with 22.8 V to 25.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 33.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 12.0 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It operates from −65 °C to +185 °C and protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-24A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-24A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-24A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, low leakage (<1.0 µA at 20.5 V), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with high-temperature PCB reflow and inductive load switching environments.
Technical Context
This device implements patented PAR® construction for stable avalanche behavior under repetitive transients and maintains <1.0 µA reverse leakage at rated stand-off voltage (20.5 V) up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its 0.094 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable breakdown shift across automotive thermal cycles.
The MPG06 package supports 260 °C solder dip (40 s) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability; cathode polarity is marked by a color band. It delivers 3.5 V maximum forward voltage at 25 A and withstands 40 A non-repetitive surge (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for protecting 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems against ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - defines minimum overvoltage threshold before clamping activation |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 12.0 A - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability per single 10/1000 µs pulse |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine, critical for relay/coil turn-off spikes |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near hot engine-control electronics without derating loss |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA at 20.5 V - ensures negligible standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC variant with matte tin leads, UL 94V-0 epoxy |

Applications
| Automotive Powertrain Control | Industrial Sensor Signal Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller GPIO and CAN transceiver inputs from alternator load dump and starter motor cranking spikes in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between protected node and chassis ground, responding within <1 ns to limit voltage to ≤33.2 V. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces while surviving >1000 surges per AEC-Q101 stress test. |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog output lines of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLC I/O modules from relay contact bounce and EMI coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage (20.5 V) exceeds sensor supply rails (e.g., 24 V loop-powered), enabling transparent operation during normal conditions. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <1.0 µA leakage at 20.5 V, avoiding offset errors in 16-bit ADC front-ends. |
| DC-DC Converter Input Stage | Motor Drive Gate Driver Protection |
Use Scenario: Suppressing voltage spikes on 24 V input rails of buck converters used in ADAS camera modules subjected to battery disconnection events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed upstream of input filter capacitors to clamp transients before they propagate into switching regulator ICs. Use Value: 400 W rating handles ISO 16750-2 Test 4a (load dump) without degradation, supporting 15-year automotive service life. |
Use Scenario: Clamping Miller-induced voltage spikes on high-side N-channel MOSFET gates driven by isolated gate drivers in HVAC blower inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Connected between gate and source, limiting dV/dt-induced false turn-on during high dv/dt switching transitions. Use Value: 33.2 V clamping voltage stays below typical MOSFET VGS(max) (±20 V), preventing gate oxide overstress during 100 kHz PWM operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | DO-214AC package, same VBR range (22.8–25.2 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W (same rating), higher VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A | Higher clamping voltage increases risk of downstream IC damage in tight-margin 24 V systems | Select TMPG06-24A-E3/73 when clamping voltage margin is critical and AEC-Q101 qualification is required |
| SMCJ24A | DO-214AB package, larger footprint, PPPM = 1500 W, VC = 38.9 V at 38.9 A, TJ max = 175 °C | Over-specified power rating adds cost and board space; lower temperature rating limits under-hood use | Choose TMPG06-24A-E3/73 for space-constrained automotive PCBs where 400 W suffices and 185 °C operation is mandatory |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, TMPG06-24A-E3/73 offers tighter clamping (33.2 V vs. ≥38.9 V), AEC-Q101 compliance, and extended junction temperature range-critical for compact, high-reliability 24 V automotive nodes where voltage margin and thermal resilience are design constraints.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-24A-E3/73 and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage of TMPG06-24A-E3/73 is 33.2 V, measured at 12.0 A peak pulse current using a 10/1000 µs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during standardized surge testing and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range. The TMPG06-24A-E3/73 achieves this low clamping level via optimized PAR® junction design and low incremental surge resistance.
Is TMPG06-24A-E3/73 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, TMPG06-24A-E3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified. The "E3" suffix denotes commercial grade with AEC-Q101 validation, confirmed in Vishay Document Number 88404. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and surge robustness-making TMPG06-24A-E3/73 suitable for automotive powertrain and body electronics. The TMPG06-24A-E3/73 data sheet explicitly lists compliance with AEC-Q101 requirements.
What does the "73" in TMPG06-24A-E3/73 indicate?
The "73" in TMPG06-24A-E3/73 is Vishay's packaging code specifying tape-and-reel delivery: 73 indicates 7-inch diameter reel with 2500 pieces per reel. This differs from "54" (13-inch reel, 5500 pieces) and "52" (bulk pack). The TMPG06-24A-E3/73 configuration ensures compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and supports high-volume automotive manufacturing throughput.
How does TMPG06-24A-E3/73 compare to TMPG06-24-E3/73?
TMPG06-24A-E3/73 has tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (22.8–25.2 V) versus TMPG06-24-E3/73 (21.6–26.4 V), resulting in more consistent clamping onset and lower VC variation across production lots. The "A" suffix also correlates with enhanced screening for automotive use. Both share identical package, power rating, and temperature range, but TMPG06-24A-E3/73 is preferred where precise voltage threshold control is required-such as in 24 V rail monitoring circuits interfacing with TMPG06-24A-E3/73.
Can TMPG06-24A-E3/73 be used in 12 V automotive systems?
Yes, TMPG06-24A-E3/73 is commonly deployed in 12 V systems-for example, protecting LIN bus transceivers or microcontroller reset lines from load dump transients. Its 20.5 V stand-off voltage exceeds typical 12 V system peaks (e.g., 14.4 V charging), while its 33.2 V clamping voltage remains safely below absolute maximum ratings of most 3.3 V/5 V logic ICs. The TMPG06-24A-E3/73 datasheet confirms suitability for both 12 V and 24 V architectures per ISO 7637-2 test profiles.
