Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 25.7–28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V clamping voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-27AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 10.7 A, unidirectional polarity, MPG06 package thermal limits (TJ = 185 °C), and compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-type overvoltage protector, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (25.7–28.4 V) to clamp transients to ≤37.5 V at 10.7 A. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching spikes.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it supports continuous operation up to 185 °C junction temperature, is qualified to AEC-Q101, and uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise activation threshold for overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V - clamped voltage during 10.7 A 10/1000 µs transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak surge handling capability under standardized lightning/surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without failure, critical for load-dump immunity |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near hot components (e.g., engine control units, power converters) |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects only against reverse-polarity transients; cathode marked by band |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with UL 94 V-0 rating, 0.115–0.125 inch lead length, 0.023–0.026 inch lead diameter, designed for through-hole mounting and wave soldering (275 °C, 10 s max).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Marked by color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail) to shunt surges to ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood use per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HAST, etc.) |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Ensures long-term reliability of matte tin leads in high-temperature, high-humidity environments |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b and IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes let-through energy during clamping, reducing stress on downstream MOSFETs or ICs |
| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports direct placement on PCBs adjacent to power inductors or DC-DC converters without derating |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V supply lines in body control modules against load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt TVS device clamping voltage spikes before they reach MCU power inputs or CAN transceivers. Use Value: Withstands 40 A surge current and maintains clamping below 37.5 V, preventing brownout or latch-up in safety-critical ECUs. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog input channels of programmable logic controllers exposed to field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor placed before signal conditioning op-amps and ADC drivers. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 µA at VWM) avoids measurement drift; fast response preserves signal integrity during 10/1000 µs transients. |
| Telecom Power Feeds | Consumer Appliance Motor Drivers |
Use Scenario: Guarding PoE-powered equipment DC inputs against induced lightning surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on secondary-side 48 V rail, coordinated with upstream MOVs. Use Value: 400 W rating handles multi-kV surges; UL 94 V-0 package prevents flame propagation in enclosed telecom cabinets. | Use Scenario: Shielding gate drivers and bootstrap circuits in washing machine inverter boards from motor commutation spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rail-to-rail TVS across high-side and low-side FET supply rails. Use Value: 185 °C TJ rating allows mounting directly on motor driver heatsinks; unidirectional polarity matches DC bus topology. |
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), but higher VC (45.4 V @ 8.8 A); SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-current load dump; better for space-constrained consumer PCBs | Select SMAJ28A only if board area is critical and peak surge current remains ≤8.8 A |
| 1.5KE27A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, slower response due to higher junction capacitance | Better for high-energy lightning surges; not AEC-Q101 qualified or optimized for automotive thermal cycling | Choose 1.5KE27A for non-automotive infrastructure where energy absorption >400 W is required |
Compared with SMAJ28A and 1.5KE27A, the TMPG06-27AHE3/73 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C operation, and 10.7 A clamping capacity in the compact MPG06 through-hole package-making it optimal for thermally demanding automotive and industrial control designs where reliability trumps raw power rating.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-27AHE3/73?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±10% tolerance around the nominal 27 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports reliable coordination with downstream overvoltage detectors in systems using the TMPG06-27AHE3/73.
Is TMPG06-27AHE3/73 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TMPG06-27AHE3/73 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a cathode band. It protects against reverse-voltage transients on positive rails but does not suppress positive-going surges on negative rails. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as the SMBJ26CA or a dual-diode array must be used-TMPG06-27AHE3/73 is not rated or characterized for symmetrical clamping.
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering for TMPG06-27AHE3/73?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/73 supports solder dip at up to 275 °C for 10 seconds maximum, per JESD 22-B106. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements. Exceeding this limit risks delamination of the epoxy molding compound or degradation of internal junction integrity-always verify profile compliance before reflow or wave soldering of TMPG06-27AHE3/73.
How does the clamping voltage of TMPG06-27AHE3/73 compare to its stand-off voltage?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/73 has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 23.1 V and a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V at 10.7 A, yielding a clamping ratio of ~1.62. This ratio reflects the device's ability to remain non-conductive below 23.1 V while limiting let-through voltage to 37.5 V during surge events-critical for ensuring protected ICs operate within their absolute maximum ratings when TMPG06-27AHE3/73 activates.
Does TMPG06-27AHE3/73 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, the peak pulse power (PPPM) of TMPG06-27AHE3/73 must be derated above 25 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in Vishay document 88404. At 125 °C, PPPM drops to approximately 50% of its 400 W rating. Designers must apply this derating curve when deploying TMPG06-27AHE3/73 in high-temperature enclosures or near heat-generating components to maintain reliable surge suppression performance.
