Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27A-E3/73 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 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1 mA test current, 37.5 V clamping voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), 400 W peak pulse power, and operates from −65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed on signal lines and MOSFET gates in automotive sensor units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-27A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under surge, unidirectional polarity confirmation, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal derating above 25 °C, and compatibility with 260 °C solder dip processes.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of inductive-switching transients and ESD events. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage, with VF = 3.5 V at 25 A surge current and typical reverse leakage <1.0 µA at 23.1 V stand-off voltage.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform, 0.01% duty cycle), it sustains repetitive surges up to 40 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains stable V(BR) with 0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient - critical for high-temperature automotive environments where junction temperatures reach 185 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 25.7 V min to 28.4 V max at 1 mA - defines minimum voltage at which clamping initiates, ensuring reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 37.5 V at 10.7 A (10/1000 µs) - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W - energy-handling capacity for transient suppression without failure |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage begins |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Motor Drive Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of ABS wheel speed sensors exposed to inductive switching noise from solenoid valves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor output and ECU input to clamp transients below ADC input rating. Use Value: Clamps 37.5 V at 10.7 A, preventing latch-up or damage to 3.3 V or 5 V rail-tied receivers while maintaining <1 µA leakage at 23.1 V. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding microcontroller GPIOs connected to limit switches in CNC machine tool control cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protection device on 24 V DC digital input lines subject to relay coil flyback. Use Value: Withstands 40 A surge (8.3 ms) and 400 W pulses without degradation, enabling long-term reliability in factory-floor environments. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer Power Adapter Feedback Loop |
Use Scenario: Transient suppression on RS-485 bus lines in outdoor telecom base stations subjected to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping element on differential pair, referenced to local ground plane. Use Value: Fast response (<1 ns) and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) preserve signal integrity during sub-microsecond transients. |
Use Scenario: Protecting optocoupler feedback path in isolated AC/DC adapters against primary-side switching noise coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased TVS across secondary-side error amplifier inputs to prevent saturation during burst-mode events. Use Value: 23.1 V stand-off allows normal 12–15 V bias operation while clamping spikes >37.5 V - avoiding false regulation trips. |
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 | Lower PPPM (400 W same), higher V(BR) range (25.2–29.1 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to ≤125 °C TJ max; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary and board space is constrained |
| TPSMF28A | Same V(BR) and VC specs, SOD-123FL package, 150 °C TJ max, RoHS-compliant but no AEC-Q101 validation | Lower surge current rating (8.5 A vs. 10.7 A), unsuitable for high-energy automotive load dump | Prefer for portable electronics with moderate surge exposure and strict height restrictions (<1.1 mm) |
Compared with SMAJ28A and TPSMF28A, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 delivers higher thermal robustness (185 °C TJ), AEC-Q101 qualification, and superior surge current handling - making it the only choice for under-hood automotive modules requiring long-term reliability under repeated thermal cycling and high-energy transients.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-27A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V when subjected to a 10.7 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 achieves this with low incremental resistance due to its PAR® construction.
Is TMPG06-27A-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 carries the E3/73 suffix indicating compliance with AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for discrete semiconductors. It has been validated for high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TCT), and highly accelerated stress test (HAST), supporting use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor modules. The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 operates reliably up to +185 °C junction temperature - exceeding standard automotive under-hood requirements.
What does the "A" in TMPG06-27A-E3/73 signify?
The "A" suffix in TMPG06-27A-E3/73 denotes a tighter tolerance version of the device: its breakdown voltage is specified as 25.7 V minimum to 28.4 V maximum at 1 mA test current, versus 24.3–29.7 V for the non-A variant (TMPG06-27). This improved V(BR) consistency enables more precise clamping margin design in safety-critical systems. The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 retains identical power, thermal, and packaging specifications as the base part.
Can TMPG06-27A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts in forward bias like a standard diode and clamps in reverse bias - it cannot suppress positive-going transients on grounded lines without external circuitry. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as SMBJ26CA or an externally configured back-to-back pair would be required. The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 polarity is marked by a cathode band and must be oriented accordingly in PCB layout.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TMPG06-27A-E3/73 at its stand-off voltage?
At its 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient, TMPG06-27A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA. At elevated junction temperature (150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA - confirming stable performance in hot environments. This low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and minimizes standby power loss. The TMPG06-27A-E3/73 meets this spec across full production lot screening per Vishay's quality protocol.
