Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection with 25.7 V to 28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 37.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 10.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in engine control units and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-27A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-27A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-27A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 10.7 A, unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101-compatibility via HE3-grade lineage, RoHS compliance, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2. Its 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 23.1 V stand-off voltage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on automotive circuits.
The device operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and supports soldering at 260 °C for 40 seconds. Its 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable breakdown behavior under thermal cycling in under-hood environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A | 28 V VBR min/max (25.2–30.8 V), 35.2 V VC @ 11.4 A, SMA package (DO-214AC), same 400 W rating | Higher VC and slightly wider VBR tolerance; identical thermal rating but lower TJ max. (150 °C) | Select when footprint compatibility with SMA is required and 150 °C max junction temperature suffices |
| SMCJ28A | 28 V VBR min/max (25.2–30.8 V), 42.6 V VC @ 9.4 A, SMC package (DO-214AB), 1500 W rating | Higher clamping voltage and larger package; intended for higher-energy transients, not direct replacement | Choose only if system-level surge energy exceeds 400 W and PCB space allows SMC footprint |

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TMPG06-27A-E3/54?
The TMPG06-27A-E3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight 2.7 V window ensures predictable turn-on behavior in automotive power rail protection circuits where precise clamping thresholds are critical.
Is TMPG06-27A-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - TMPG06-27A-E3/54 is built on Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified HE3-grade process lineage and rated for –65 °C to +185 °C operation. Its 400 W peak pulse power, low clamping voltage (37.5 V), and 185 °C junction limit make it appropriate for engine control units, sensor modules, and other under-hood automotive systems.
What does the "E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-27A-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes commercial-grade matte tin plating per J-STD-002B, while "/54" specifies packaging in 13-inch paper tape and reel with 5500-unit base quantity. This differs from HE3-suffixed variants, which indicate AEC-Q101-qualified high-reliability grade with enhanced testing.
How does TMPG06-27A-E3/54 compare to TMPG06-27 in terms of electrical performance?
TMPG06-27A-E3/54 offers tighter VBR tolerance (25.7–28.4 V) versus TMPG06-27 (24.3–29.7 V), lower VC (37.5 V vs. 39.1 V at respective IPPM), and identical 400 W PPPM. The "A" variant is optimized for applications requiring improved consistency in clamping threshold and reduced let-through voltage.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-27A-E3/54 during a transient event?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-27A-E3/54 is 37.5 V at 10.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is guaranteed per datasheet Table "Electrical Characteristics" and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
