Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27-E3/73 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, 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 21.8 V, and 185 °C max junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-27-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-27-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-27-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage vs. protected device VDS/VCC, stand-off voltage margin relative to system rail, peak pulse current capability under 10/1000 µs waveform, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive deployment.
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. Its unidirectional polarity and 21.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM) allow direct placement across DC rails or signal lines referenced to ground.
The device operates from −65 °C to +185 °C and maintains stable VBR with 0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient. It meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 24.3 V to 29.7 V - ensures reliable conduction above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 21.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 39.1 V at 10.2 A - clamping voltage limits transient energy delivered to downstream components |
| IPPM | 10.2 A - peak pulse current survivability under standardized 10/1000 µs surge waveform |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capacity defines transient energy absorption capability |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in high-temperature engine bay environments without derating |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94V-0 rated; cathode indicated by color band; lead length 9.5 mm (0.375″); compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; forms cathode-to-anode conduction path during overvoltage events |
| Cathode | Protected line terminal | Connected to supply rail or signal line being protected; clamps voltage to VC when transient exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR® construction | Reduces incremental surge resistance for tighter clamping and lower let-through energy |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| 0.096 %/°C VBR tempco | Ensures predictable clamping behavior across automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient) |
| 1.0 µA max ID at VWM | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on vehicle subsystems such as CAN nodes or body controllers |
| AEC-Q101 qualified (E3 suffix = commercial grade) | Validated for automotive use with extended temperature cycling, HTRB, and surge endurance testing |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Motor Drive Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V supply rail against load-dump transients up to 35 V during alternator regulation failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery rail and LDO input to clamp surges before regulator damage. Use Value: Clamps 35 V transient to ≤39.1 V within nanoseconds, preserving LDO and microcontroller operation without shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Guarding RS-485 transceiver signal lines against EFT bursts and inductive kickback from relay coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; unidirectional TMPG06-27-E3/73 used on receiver inputs referenced to local ground. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to <40 V, preventing transceiver latch-up while adding <0.5 pF capacitance per line. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Telecom Power Supply Input |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceivers and window motor drivers from battery reverse-polarity and jump-start spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode grounded, cathode tied to 12 V rail; absorbs negative transients via forward conduction and positive surges via avalanche. Use Value: Withstands 40 A IFSM and 185 °C TJ, enabling single-device protection across multiple fault modes in confined BCM PCB space. |
Use Scenario: Front-end surge suppression on 24 V telecom power entry before DC/DC converter stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device in series with fuse and common-mode choke; coordinates with MOV for multi-stage protection. Use Value: Provides precise 21.8 V stand-off and 39.1 V clamping-tighter than MOV-only solutions-reducing stress on downstream FETs and capacitors. |
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: 31.1–34.4 V), 400 W PPPM, DO-214AC package, 43.5 V VC @ 9.2 A | Higher clamping voltage and larger package footprint; lacks AEC-Q101 certification | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and board space is unconstrained |
| TPSMF28A | 28 V VBR (min/max: 31.1–34.4 V), 400 W PPPM, SOD-123FL package, 43.5 V VC @ 9.2 A, AEC-Q101 qualified | Smaller footprint but lower surge current rating (9.2 A vs. 10.2 A); same clamping performance | Selected for space-constrained designs requiring AEC-Q101 compliance and thermal performance similar to TMPG06-27-E3/73 |
Compared with SMAJ28A and TPSMF28A, TMPG06-27-E3/73 delivers lower clamping voltage (39.1 V), higher surge current tolerance (10.2 A), and optimized thermal resistance in the MPG06 package-making it preferable for high-reliability 24 V automotive power rail protection where PCB layout allows its 9.5 mm lead length.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TMPG06-27-E3/73?
The TMPG06-27-E3/73 has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 24.3 V to 29.7 V at 1.0 mA test current. This range ensures reliable turn-on above typical 24 V nominal systems while maintaining sufficient margin below absolute maximum ratings of protected ICs. The value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 88404.
Is the TMPG06-27-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-27-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix indicating commercial-grade qualification, and the underlying MPG06 platform is AEC-Q101 qualified. While E3 denotes standard commercial reliability level, the device shares the same die, PAR® construction, and thermal design as HE3-grade variants-enabling proven performance in automotive engine control, body electronics, and infotainment systems.
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-27-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27-E3/73 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 39.1 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.2 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping performance is critical for limiting stress on downstream 36 V-rated MOSFETs or 40 V-input regulators in 24 V vehicle architectures.
Does the TMPG06-27-E3/73 have bidirectional polarity?
No, the TMPG06-27-E3/73 is unidirectional only. Its cathode is marked by a color band, and it conducts in avalanche mode during positive transients applied to the cathode. For negative transients, it conducts in forward bias-providing dual-mode protection-but does not support symmetrical bidirectional clamping like an AC-coupled TVS pair.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TMPG06-27-E3/73?
The TMPG06-27-E3/73 is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C, validated per Vishay's thermal characterization in Document Number 88404. This enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C and power dissipation must be managed without external heatsinking.
