Product details
Overview
TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor diode in MPG06 package, featuring 7.79 V to 8.61 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 12.1 V clamping voltage (VC) at 200 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operation up to +185 °C junction temperature. It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control modules against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 pinout, TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 application, or TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 200 A surge, low leakage (<50 µA at 7.02 V stand-off), AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility via HE3 suffix variants, and compatibility with lead-free reflow per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This device uses patented PAR® construction for stable avalanche clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs transients at 0.01 % duty cycle. Its unidirectional polarity, matte tin-plated leads, and UL 94V-0 epoxy case enable robust mounting in high-vibration automotive environments.
Designed for transient suppression on DC power rails and low-speed signal lines, it delivers <3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A and maintains <1.0 µA reverse leakage above 10 V at 150 °C - critical for battery-sensed circuits where quiescent current must remain minimal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 7.79 V / 8.61 V at 10 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation window for predictable clamping onset |
| VC @ IPPM | 12.1 V at 200 A - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - sustains 10/1000 µs transient energy without degradation under 0.01 % duty cycle |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine inrush surges common in motor driver power-up sequences |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - supports placement near hot engine-control units without derating loss |
| VWM | 7.02 V - ensures reliable blocking of nominal 5–6 V logic or sensor supply rails |
| ID @ VWM | <50 µA at 25 °C - prevents measurable loading on high-impedance sensor bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case (UL 94V-0), 0.375" (9.5 mm) body length, matte tin-plated axial leads. Cathode denoted by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path for clamp-to-ground operation |
| Cathode | Current exit point during reverse-biased clamping | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 12 V rail or sensor output); color band identifies this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR® construction | Enables repeatable, low-resistance avalanche clamping with <0.065 %/°C VBR tempco for stable protection across -65 °C to +185 °C |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Handles ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients in automotive ECUs without thermal runaway |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes VC overshoot during fast-rising transients (<1 ns response time), reducing risk of IC latch-up |
| AEC-Q101 qualification path (HE3 suffix) | E3 suffix denotes commercial grade; HE3 variant meets AEC-Q101 for under-hood deployment with zero defects in HTOL testing |
| RoHS/WEEE compliant | Meets EU directives 2002/95/EC and 2002/96/EC - enables use in global Tier 1 automotive supply chains |
Applications
| Automotive Powertrain Control | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppresses load-dump and inductive kickback transients on 12 V supply rails feeding engine control unit (ECU) microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed in parallel with input filter capacitor, clamping surges before they reach LDO regulators. Use Value: Limits VC to 12.1 V at 200 A, preventing overvoltage damage to 5 V logic supplies derived from the rail. |
Use Scenario: Protects analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors connected to PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp device on 24 V loop-powered sensor signal line, referenced to system ground. Use Value: Withstands 40 A IFSM, ensuring survival during accidental 24 V short-to-battery events in factory-floor wiring. |
| Automotive Lighting Driver | Consumer Appliance Motor Control |
Use Scenario: Shields high-side MOSFET gate drivers in LED headlamp modules from flyback spikes generated by relay coils and solenoids. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed between gate driver output and MOSFET gate, absorbing sub-100 ns spikes. Use Value: Fast response and low VC prevent gate oxide rupture while maintaining <1.0 µA leakage at 7.02 V stand-off. |
Use Scenario: Safeguards microcontroller I/O pins driving brushed DC motors in washing machine control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; unidirectional TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 used on motor supply side only. Use Value: 185 °C TJ max allows mounting near motor driver ICs without thermal derating penalties. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC = 13.6 V at 22.5 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less effective clamping margin for 5 V logic rails; suited for space-constrained consumer PCBs, not under-hood automotive | Select when board area is critical and surge currents remain ≤22.5 A; verify thermal relief for repeated pulses |
| 1.5SMC8.2A | Same VBR/VC specs, but higher IPPM = 245 A and larger SMC package; 1.5 kW PPPM rating | Better energy handling for industrial 48 V systems; requires larger pad layout and higher solder volume | Choose for heavy-duty motor drives where 200 A surges occur frequently; avoid if E3-grade commercial qualification suffices |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and 1.5SMC8.2A, the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 offers optimal balance of automotive-grade reliability (E3 suffix), axial-leaded ease of through-hole assembly, and precise 12.1 V clamping - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding ECU front-end protection where lead-forming flexibility matters.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.1 V at 200 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream 5 V logic circuits remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 achieves this with low incremental surge resistance and stable PAR® junction behavior.
Is the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 qualified to AEC-Q101?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. While it shares the same die and construction as the HE3-suffix variant, the E3 version itself is not AEC-Q101 certified. For automotive under-hood applications requiring formal qualification, the HE3-suffix part (e.g., TMPG06-8.2A-HE3) must be specified. The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 remains suitable for non-critical automotive subsystems and industrial use where full AEC-Q101 is not mandated.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54?
The "E3" denotes Vishay's commercial-grade reliability level with standard screening, while "/54" specifies the packaging code: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel containing 5,500 units. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly. The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 is supplied in this configuration with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002B solderability requirements.
Can the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No - the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts in forward bias and clamps in reverse bias, but lacks symmetrical breakdown in both directions. For bidirectional transient suppression (e.g., AC lines or data buses), a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ8.0CA must be selected. Using the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 in reverse-biased-only configurations is correct and fully supported.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C and an operating storage range of -65 °C to +185 °C. This high-temperature capability allows direct placement near heat-generating components in automotive and industrial environments. Derating curves in Figure 2 confirm usable power dissipation down to 75 % at 150 °C ambient, ensuring reliable operation in engine control units. The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/54 maintains parameter stability across this full range.
