Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection with 24.3 V to 29.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 39.1 V clamping voltage at 10.2 A, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-27-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-27-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-27-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 39.1 V), stand-off voltage (VWM = 21.8 V), low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), AEC-Q101-compatibility via HE3 grade variant, and solderability per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for stable clamping under high-temperature stress (TJ up to 185 °C) and exhibits low incremental surge resistance to maintain consistent VC during repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle. Its unidirectional polarity and color-banded cathode enable straightforward integration into DC-biased protection paths.
Electrical behavior is defined by ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards: breakdown tested at 1 mA, clamping measured at IPPM = 10.2 A, and reverse leakage validated at both 25 °C and 150 °C. The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C with UL 94V-0 epoxy encapsulation and matte tin-plated leads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 24.3 V to 29.7 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 21.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage compatible with 24 V automotive rails |
| VC @ IPPM | 39.1 V at 10.2 A - limits downstream voltage stress during 400 W transient events |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - negligible standby current draw in always-on vehicle modules |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - handles typical load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a energy without degradation |
| TJ max | +185 °C - supports under-hood placement near engines or power electronics |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC outline with 9.5 mm body length and tinned leads for reflow compatibility |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 package: molded epoxy case (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by color band. Leads are solderable per J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D (260 °C, 40 s).

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 | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VBR = 26.7–29.5 V, VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for under-hood use due to 150 °C TJ max vs. 185 °C for TMPG06-27-E3/54 | Select when board space is constrained and ambient temperature remains below 125 °C |
| SMCJ24A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), VBR = 26.7–29.5 V, VC = 38.9 V at 38.7 A; SMC package (larger, higher thermal capacity) | Over-specified for 400 W needs; requires larger PCB area and may not fit tight automotive module layouts | Choose only if future-proofing for higher-energy transients or extended thermal cycling life is required |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, TMPG06-27-E3/54 delivers optimal balance of high-temperature resilience (185 °C), compact MPG06 form factor, and precise 21.8 V stand-off for 24 V systems-making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally aggressive automotive and industrial modules where long-term parametric stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-27-E3/54 under standard test conditions?
The TMPG06-27-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 39.1 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 10.2 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream ICs and MOSFETs in 24 V systems. The TMPG06-27-E3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-27-E3/54 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
The TMPG06-27-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. For full AEC-Q101 compliance, the HE3-suffixed variant (TMPG06-27-HE3/54) must be used. The TMPG06-27-E3/54 shares identical electrical characteristics and package with the HE3 version but lacks the extended reliability testing required for automotive safety-critical modules. Always specify TMPG06-27-HE3/54 for AEC-Q101–mandated designs.
What does the "E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-27-E3/54?
In TMPG06-27-E3/54, "E3" denotes Vishay's commercial-grade reliability level and tape-and-reel packaging per J-STD-002B, while "54" specifies the preferred package code for 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel with 5500 units per reel. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed SMT pick-and-place equipment and supports automated manufacturing of automotive and industrial PCB assemblies using the TMPG06-27-E3/54.
How does the TMPG06-27-E3/54 compare to the TMPG06-27A variant?
The TMPG06-27A variant has tighter VBR tolerance (25.7–28.4 V vs. 24.3–29.7 V for TMPG06-27-E3/54), lower clamping voltage (37.5 V vs. 39.1 V), and identical VWM (23.1 V). Both share the same package, thermal rating, and surge capability. The TMPG06-27-E3/54 offers broader VBR spread for cost-sensitive applications where exact breakdown matching is less critical than overall clamping performance and supply chain flexibility.
Can the TMPG06-27-E3/54 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No. The TMPG06-27-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts in forward bias and clamps in reverse avalanche mode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses like RS-485), a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ24CA or a back-to-back unidirectional pair would be required. Using TMPG06-27-E3/54 in reverse-biased AC applications risks permanent failure due to forward conduction during negative half-cycles.
