Product details
Overview
TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, with 7.13 V to 7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 26.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 500 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating under 10/1000 µs waveform. It protects MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 500 A, low leakage (<1.0 µA at 6.40 V stand-off), AEC-Q101 qualification via HE3 suffix lineage, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for stable high-temperature operation and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional polarity enables precise reverse-biased clamping during positive-going transients on power rails or signal lines.
Designed for repetitive 10/1000 µs surge events at 0.01 % duty cycle, it delivers consistent clamping at 26.5 V up to 500 A while maintaining <1.0 µA leakage at 6.40 V stand-off voltage - critical for low-power sensor interface protection in 12 V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 7.13 V / 7.88 V at 10 mA - ensures reliable triggering above nominal 6.40 V system stand-off without false conduction |
| VC @ IPPM | 26.5 V at 500 A - limits downstream voltage stress to safe levels for 3.3 V/5 V logic and gate drivers |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains single-event surges from load dump or inductive kick without degradation |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles short-circuit fault currents in automotive power distribution |
| TJ max | +185 °C - supports placement near engines or inverters without thermal derating penalties |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA at 6.40 V - preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules |

Applications
| Automotive Powertrain Control | Industrial Motor Drive Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppressing inductive kickback from solenoid valves and fuel injectors in engine control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between 12 V supply rail and ground to clamp transients before they reach MCU power pins. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤26.5 V during 500 A pulses, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to 5 V LDOs and CAN transceivers. |
Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers and current-sense amplifiers in variable-frequency drives exposed to motor cable reflections. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping transient spikes on isolated DC bus sensing lines referenced to high-side switches. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <1.0 µA leakage at 6.40 V, avoiding offset errors in precision shunt-based current measurement. |
| Automotive Body Electronics | Telecom Power Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding LIN bus transceivers and door module microcontrollers from ESD and load-switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS on bidirectional LIN line, grounded through series resistor to preserve signal rise time. Use Value: Achieves 26.5 V clamping at 500 A while adding negligible capacitance - no data rate degradation at 20 kbps. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding PoE-powered Ethernet PHYs and DC-DC converters from lightning-induced surges on 48 V input rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on secondary-side 12 V output of telecom DC-DC module. Use Value: Withstands repeated 400 W surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4, enabling compliance without external crowbar circuits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.5A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VC = 12.5 V @ 32.4 A - not rated for 500 A clamping | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for automotive load dump per ISO 7637-2 | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with <100 A surge exposure |
| SMCJ7.5A | Same VBR range and VC = 12.9 V @ 38.8 A, but PPPM = 1500 W - larger SMC package (7.11 mm x 6.22 mm) | Higher surge capacity but incompatible footprint; requires PCB redesign | Choose when system-level testing demands >500 A capability and board space allows SMC outline |
Compared with SMAJ7.5A and SMCJ7.5A, the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 uniquely balances 500 A clamping capability, MPG06 compactness (9.5 mm x 3.18 mm), and AEC-Q101-aligned reliability - making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained automotive ECUs requiring validated 185 °C operation.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 26.5 V at 500 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per Vishay Document Number 88404 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case transients - critical for ensuring compatibility with 24 V tolerant interfaces and 5 V logic supplies downstream of the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73.
Is the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 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. Vishay explicitly states that the TMPG06 series is designed for automotive transient suppression, with maximum junction temperature rated to +185 °C and thermal performance validated under high-reliability conditions - making the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 suitable for non-safety-critical automotive modules where full AEC-Q101 certification is not mandated.
What does the "A" in TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 signify?
The "A" in TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 denotes the tighter breakdown voltage tolerance variant: 7.13 V to 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, versus 6.75 V to 8.25 V for the base TMPG06-7.5. This ±4.2 % tolerance (vs. ±9.2 %) enables more precise system-level overvoltage margining and reduces design uncertainty when selecting downstream regulators or supervisors - a key differentiator for the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 in noise-sensitive analog front-ends.
Can the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, with cathode identified by a color band. Its electrical characteristics - including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and leakage - are defined exclusively for reverse-biased operation. For bidirectional transient suppression, Vishay offers separate dual-diode configurations (e.g., SMBJ7.5CA), but the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 must be used in single-polarity arrangements aligned with its marked cathode terminal.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73?
The TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, per Figure 5 in Vishay Document Number 88404. This rating applies to continuous DC or low-frequency operation - not transient events - and must be thermally derated linearly above 75 °C per the published curve. The TMPG06-7.5A-E3/73 is not intended for sustained power dissipation; its primary function is pulsed energy absorption.
