Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27HE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails and signal lines. It features a 25.7 V to 28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 10.7 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27HE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-27HE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-27HE3/73 application, or TMPG06-27HE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating up to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C, 10 s solder dip).
Technical Context
The TMPG06-27HE3/73 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental resistance, enabling precise voltage clamping during ESD and inductive switching transients. Its unidirectional structure provides reverse-biased surge suppression while allowing forward conduction only during fault conditions.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it sustains 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C and exhibits a +0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring stable breakdown across its -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - Ensures reliable avalanche initiation above system nominal voltage while avoiding false triggering. |
| VWM | 23.1 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA at 25 °C. |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V at 10.7 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient defines maximum stress on protected IC or MOSFET. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Withstands 8.3 ms single half-sine surge without degradation, critical for motor driver and relay coil suppression. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Protects against negative-going transients only; requires correct cathode orientation in circuit. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead pitch, axial lead configuration. Cathode identified by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path during surge | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return line); carries full surge current during clamping. |

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; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to lower TJ max (150 °C vs. 185 °C) | Preferred where board space is constrained and ambient temperature remains below 105 °C. |
| TPSMA6L24A | Same VBR range, AEC-Q101 qualified, but VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A; SOD-123FL package | Higher clamping voltage increases stress on protected ICs; smaller package limits surge energy absorption | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where clamping margin is less critical. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMA6L24A, the TMPG06-27HE3/73 delivers superior thermal robustness (TJ = 185 °C), axial-leaded mechanical stability for high-vibration environments, and tighter VC/VBR ratio-making it optimal for mission-critical automotive and industrial power-line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-27HE3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27HE3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.7 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The TMPG06-27HE3/73 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-27HE3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-27HE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, robust 400 W surge rating, and validation per JESD22-B106 solder dip testing make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies. The TMPG06-27HE3/73 meets the reliability and thermal requirements defined in AEC-Q101 Rev D.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-27HE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, while "/73" is Vishay's internal packaging code indicating tape-and-reel delivery in 5500-unit quantities on 13-inch diameter reels. The full designation TMPG06-27HE3/73 identifies the specific variant with 27 V nominal breakdown, MPG06 package, and qualified manufacturing flow. This exact part number appears in Vishay's ordering matrix on page 3 of document 88404.
How does the TMPG06-27HE3/73 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-27HE3/73 is unidirectional only, meaning it protects against negative-going transients on the cathode side while conducting forward current during faults. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, it does not suppress positive transients on the anode side. This makes the TMPG06-27HE3/73 ideal for DC power rails and single-polarity signal lines where polarity is fixed and forward conduction must be preserved. Its unidirectional nature yields lower leakage and tighter VC/VBR ratio than equivalent bidirectional parts.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for TMPG06-27HE3/73 at its stand-off voltage?
The TMPG06-27HE3/73 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM = 23.1 V) and ambient temperature of 25 °C. At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage rises to ≤5.0 µA-still well within acceptable limits for low-power sensor interfaces and always-on automotive modules. This low leakage is confirmed in Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" on page 2 of the Vishay datasheet 88404 for the TMPG06-27HE3/73.
