Product details
Overview
TMPG06-39A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 39 V nominal breakdown voltage (37.1–41.0 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 40 A peak forward surge current, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed for clamping inductive switching transients on power rails and signal lines in automotive ECUs and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-39A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-39A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-39A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (53.9 V at 7.4 A), low leakage (<1.0 µA at 33.3 V), AEC-Q101-compatibility via HE3-grade lineage, and RoHS/WEEE compliance - all critical for high-reliability 12 V/24 V automotive power protection.
Technical Context
The TMPG06-39A-E3/54 uses patented PAR® construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode-band marking align with standard TVS placement on DC supply inputs.
Designed for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C, it maintains stable V(BR) with ±0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient and exhibits <3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A - supporting robust surge handling without forward conduction interference in reverse-biased protection configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 37.1–41.0 V at 1 mA - defines minimum clamping threshold before avalanche conduction begins |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage occurs |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 53.9 V at 7.4 A (10/1000 µs) - actual voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform, 0.01 % duty cycle) - determines transient energy absorption capacity |
| Reverse Leakage ID | <1.0 µA at 33.3 V, TA = 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive deployment without derating |
| Temp. Coefficient of V(BR) | +0.100 %/°C - enables predictable voltage shift across operating temperature range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A | 36 V V(BR) min/max (32.4–39.6 V); same 400 W PPPM but SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to ≤150 °C TJ rating; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when space-constrained PCB layout prioritizes size over under-hood temperature margin |
| TPSMF36A | 36 V V(BR); 400 W PPPM; SOD-123FL package; 175 °C TJ max; AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower clamping voltage (51.1 V at 7.9 A); higher leakage (≤2.0 µA at 29.0 V) | Prefer for cost-sensitive automotive designs requiring same qualification but tighter clamping tolerance |
Compared with SMAJ36A and TPSMF36A, the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 delivers higher V(BR) headroom for 36–40 V systems, superior thermal endurance (185 °C vs. 175/150 °C), and proven MPG06 mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments - making it optimal for primary protection in engine bay electronics.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-39A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 7.4 A peak pulse current using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under defined test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream 60 V-rated components.
Is the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
The TMPG06-39A-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix indicating commercial grade, but it shares the same die, PAR® construction, and MPG06 package as the HE3-suffix AEC-Q101-qualified variants. While the E3 version itself is not certified, its design basis and thermal/reliability performance (185 °C TJ max, tested per JESD22) align with automotive-grade requirements - many Tier 1 suppliers accept E3-labeled TMPG06 parts in non-safety-critical modules when validated in-system.
How does the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 differ from the TMPG06-39 version?
The TMPG06-39A-E3/54 features tighter breakdown voltage tolerance (37.1–41.0 V) versus TMPG06-39 (35.1–42.9 V), lower clamping voltage (53.9 V vs. 56.4 V at rated IPPM), and reduced temperature coefficient (0.100 %/°C vs. 0.100 %/°C - identical spec, but A-grade parts demonstrate tighter lot-to-lot consistency). Both share identical package, power ratings, and construction.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 at its stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage of 33.3 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on automotive circuits and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensor interfaces - verified per test condition in Vishay Document 88404.
Can the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TMPG06-39A-E3/54 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as confirmed in the "Features" section of its datasheet. It lacks symmetrical breakdown characteristics required for AC or dual-rail protection. For bidirectional applications, engineers must select explicitly rated parts such as the SMBJ36CA or SMCJ36CA, which provide equal clamping in both directions.
