It operates from −65 °C to +185 °C and protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-24-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-24-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-24-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity requirement, and AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility via HE3 suffix variants.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A IFSM support robust operation under repetitive surge conditions in engine control modules.
The device exhibits <1.0 µA reverse leakage at 19.4 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and a temperature coefficient of 0.094 %/°C for VBR, ensuring stable clamping across automotive temperature ranges. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D solderability standards.

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 | DO-214AC package; 24 V nominal VBR; 38.9 V VC @ 10.3 A; 400 W PPPM; bidirectional option available | Higher clamping voltage (+4.7 V) and lower IPPM (−1.2 A) reduce margin for fast-rising 10/1000 µs transients | Select when DO-214AC footprint is fixed and bidirectional capability is required for AC-coupled lines |
| SMCJ24A | DO-214AB package; same VBR range; 38.9 V VC @ 10.3 A; 1500 W PPPM; larger thermal mass | Higher power rating suits higher-energy transients but requires 3× PCB area vs. MPG06; no AEC-Q101 variant | Choose for industrial systems requiring >400 W surge handling where space permits and automotive qualification is not mandatory |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TMPG06-24-E3/54 delivers tighter VC (34.2 V), lower thermal resistance due to MPG06 geometry, and E3-grade qualification for commercial automotive use-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-temperature ECUs where clamping precision and thermal resilience are prioritized over bidirectionality or ultra-high power.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24-E3/54 and how is it measured?
The TMPG06-24-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 34.2 V at 11.5 A peak pulse current, measured using a 10/1000 µs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value represents the highest voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a standardized surge event and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range. The TMPG06-24-E3/54 achieves this clamping performance through low incremental surge resistance and optimized junction design.
Is the TMPG06-24-E3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
The TMPG06-24-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification per Vishay's internal specifications. While not AEC-Q101 certified itself, it belongs to the TMPG06 family where the HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. Engineers selecting the TMPG06-24-E3/54 for automotive use must verify system-level compliance based on application-specific stress profiles, as the TMPG06-24-E3/54 shares the same die and construction as qualified variants.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-24-E3/54?
The "E3" suffix 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 packaging format ensures compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment and supports high-volume manufacturing workflows for the TMPG06-24-E3/54.
Can the TMPG06-24-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the TMPG06-24-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts avalanche current only when reverse-biased beyond VBR and blocks forward current above ~3.5 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC signal lines), a separate device such as the TMPG06-24A-E3/54 or alternative dual-diode architecture is required. The TMPG06-24-E3/54 must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line.
How does the TMPG06-24-E3/54 perform at elevated temperatures?
The TMPG06-24-E3/54 maintains specified electrical characteristics up to +185 °C junction temperature, with VBR drifting at +0.094 %/°C. Derating curves show 50 % reduction in peak pulse power at TJ = 125 °C versus 25 °C. Its high-temperature stability makes the TMPG06-24-E3/54 suitable for under-hood automotive locations where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C and thermal management is constrained.
