Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3J/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 34.2 V to 37.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.8 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 8.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to 49.9 V at rated surge, operating up to +185 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 application, or TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low incremental resistance, fast response time, and suitability for protecting MOSFETs, sensor interfaces, and microcontroller I/O against inductive switching transients and ESD events.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VWM (30.8 V) and entering avalanche breakdown above VBR (min 34.2 V). Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.46) and 0.099 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR ensure predictable overvoltage limiting across temperature.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform with 0.01 % duty cycle, it sustains repetitive surges without degradation when thermally managed per derating curves. The device's 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge rating support high-reliability operation in harsh environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5BT | Same VWM (30.8 V) and VC (58.1 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (58.1 V vs. 49.9 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less effective clamping margin for 3.3 V/5 V logic protection; better suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs than under-hood automotive | Select when board area is critical and thermal derating can be accommodated via layout; not recommended for AEC-Q101-mandated designs |
| 1.5SMC36A | Same VWM (30.8 V), identical VC (49.9 V), but larger SMC package (higher thermal mass), same PPPM, non-AEC-Q101 | Higher steady-state power handling (1.5 W vs. 1.0 W), but lacks automotive qualification and tighter VBR tolerance | Prefer for industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and higher PD supports longer surge durations |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5BT and 1.5SMC36A, TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 delivers superior clamping performance at elevated temperatures and meets automotive reliability standards without sacrificing surge rating-making it optimal for safety-critical vehicle subsystems where voltage margin and qualification are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-36AHE3J/73?
The TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage threshold design in 24 V and 36 V systems where TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 is commonly deployed.
Is TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling (TCT), and highly accelerated stress testing (HAST). This qualification confirms its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 provides certified surge protection.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 during a surge event?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 is 49.9 V at its rated peak pulse current of 8.0 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient conditions, making TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 appropriate for safeguarding 36 V-rated components.
Does TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 have a unidirectional or bidirectional configuration?
TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias above VBR and blocks forward current up to 3.5 V at 25 A. Its cathode is marked by a color band, and it must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line to function correctly-unlike bidirectional variants, TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 does not protect against positive-going transients on grounded lines.
What package type does TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 uses the MPG06 package: a molded epoxy case with 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead pitch, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The package supports solder dip at 275 °C for 10 s and is optimized for automated assembly and high-reliability field operation in TMPG06-36AHE3J/73 applications.
