Product details
Overview
TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS) designed for automotive-grade circuit protection. It features a 6.12–7.48 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 40 A peak forward surge current, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - deployed to safeguard ICs and MOSFETs against inductive switching transients in automotive power electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, clamping behavior at 27.8 V (IPPM), polarity marking, RoHS/WEEE compliance, and AEC-Q101-aligned reliability context for high-temperature industrial and automotive designs.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction with passivated junction and molded epoxy (UL 94V-0) packaging, enabling stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01 % duty cycle. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients without thermal runaway.
Rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C, it maintains <1.0 µA reverse leakage above 10 V at 25 °C and exhibits a 0.057 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR. The matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D solderability standards, supporting 260 °C solder dip for 40 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 6.12 V / 7.48 V - defines reliable conduction onset range under 10 mA test current; ensures predictable turn-on before downstream device damage |
| VWM | 5.50 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; sets safe operating margin below breakdown |
| VC @ IPPM | 27.8 V - clamped voltage during 400 W surge; limits stress on protected IC/MOSFET during worst-case transients |
| ID @ VWM | < 300 µA - low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on automotive modules |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a events |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating enables under-hood deployment without derating penalties |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC outline; 9.5 mm body length supports automated placement and high-power thermal path |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 package: molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode denoted by color band; lead length 9.5 mm (0.375"); UL 94V-0 rated; RoHS/WEEE compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.8A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC (11.5 V vs. 27.8 V); SMA package (smaller thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-energy load-dump; better for board-level ESD on low-voltage data lines | Select SMAJ6.8A only when space-constrained and surge energy ≤100 mJ; TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 preferred for automotive power rail protection |
| SMCJ6.8A | Same VBR/VC specs, but SMC package (higher thermal mass); PPPM = 1500 W | Overqualified for 400 W needs; larger footprint and cost; requires more PCB area | Choose SMCJ6.8A only if future design scaling to >1 kW surge immunity is anticipated; TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 offers optimal size/power balance for 400 W use cases |
Compared with SMAJ6.8A and SMCJ6.8A, TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 delivers identical VBR and certified 400 W capability in a compact MPG06 package with AEC-Q101 alignment - making it the most thermally efficient and automotive-qualified choice for mid-power transient suppression where footprint and high-temperature reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance of TMPG06-6.8-E3/54?
The TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 6.12 V and a maximum of 7.48 V at 10 mA test current, yielding a ±10 % tolerance band centered on the nominal 6.8 V rating. This range is verified per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures consistent turn-on behavior across production lots without requiring binning for most automotive protection circuits.
Is TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101?
No - TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. For AEC-Q101 compliance, the HE3-suffixed variant (e.g., TMPG06-6.8A-HE3) must be selected. The E3 version meets RoHS/WEEE and automotive-relevant thermal/surge specs but lacks formal stress-test certification required for automotive safety-critical modules.
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 clamps to a maximum of 27.8 V when subjected to its rated 400 W peak pulse current (IPPM ≈ 14.4 A for 10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 of Document Number 88404 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events.
Can TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a cathode band. Bidirectional protection requires two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ6.8CA. Using TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 in reverse-biased mode risks permanent junction damage due to lack of symmetric avalanche capability.
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-6.8-E3/54?
The TMPG06-6.8-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +185 °C and a storage temperature range of –65 °C to +185 °C. This allows direct placement in high-heat zones such as near power inductors or under-hood ECUs without external heatsinking, provided PCB copper area and ambient airflow meet thermal derating curves in Figure 2 and Figure 5.
