Product details
Overview
TMPG06-39A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, rated for 37.1–41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 53.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and 185 °C maximum junction temperature - deployed to protect automotive sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-39A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-39A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-39A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, low leakage (<1.0 µA at 33.3 V), AEC-Q101 eligibility (via HE3 grade), and compatibility with reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to deliver stable clamping under high-temperature operation up to 185 °C and exhibits <1.0 µA reverse leakage at 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM). Its 10/1000 µs waveform response enables robust protection of automotive-grade ICs during load dump or inductive kick events.
The device operates as a unidirectional shunt clamp with cathode denoted by color band, optimized for fast response time and low incremental surge resistance - critical for safeguarding sensitive analog front-ends and digital I/O in harsh environments where thermal derating above 25 °C must be applied per Figure 2.
Key Specifications

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 | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VBR = 40–44.4 V, VC = 58.1 V @ 6.9 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to ambient-temp-limited deployments due to 150 °C TJ max., unsuitable for under-hood use | Select when board space is constrained and thermal environment remains <125 °C; verify layout thermal relief for sustained 1 W dissipation. |
| SMCJ36A | Same VBR/VC range, higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC package; TJ max. = 175 °C | Overqualified for 400 W needs but offers greater margin for repeated surge exposure in high-reliability systems | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds ISO 7637-2 Level IV or requires extended lifetime under cyclic stress. |
Compared with SMAJ36A and SMCJ36A, the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 delivers optimal balance of automotive-grade temperature capability (185 °C), precise 33.3 V stand-off, and compact MPG06 form factor - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-temperature ECU designs where thermal derating and AEC-Q101 compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V at 7.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected circuits remain below critical overvoltage thresholds during standardized surge events. The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 achieves this with low dynamic impedance enabled by its PAR® construction.
Is the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 is designed to meet automotive reliability requirements. While the E3 suffix denotes commercial grade, the HE3 variant is AEC-Q101 qualified. The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with HE3, including 185 °C maximum junction temperature and robust surge performance, enabling direct use in automotive designs where qualification documentation is provided per customer request.
What does the "A" suffix indicate in TMPG06-39A-E3/73?
The "A" in TMPG06-39A-E3/73 specifies a tighter breakdown voltage tolerance: 37.1–41.0 V (±5.4 %), versus 35.1–42.9 V (±11 %) for the non-A version. This improved VBR consistency ensures more predictable clamping onset in precision-sensitive applications such as low-voltage sensor interfaces. The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 maintains identical power, thermal, and mechanical specs as its non-A counterpart.
Can the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 is unidirectional only, with polarity marked by a cathode band. It conducts in reverse bias during overvoltage events and blocks forward current up to 3.5 V at 25 A. For bidirectional protection, two unidirectional devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ33CA) should be selected. The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 datasheet explicitly states "Available in Unidirectional polarity only."
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the TMPG06-39A-E3/73 at its stand-off voltage?
The TMPG06-39A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 33.3 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. At elevated temperatures (e.g., 150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA - a critical parameter for preserving battery life and signal fidelity in always-on automotive modules. This low leakage is confirmed in Table "Electrical Characteristics" of Document Number 88404.
