Product details
Overview
TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 7.79 V to 8.61 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 24.8 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 units against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 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 (E3 suffix denotes commercial grade; HE3 required for AEC-Q101), and compatibility with reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002B.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (< 1.0 ps typical), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients in automotive 12 V systems. Its unidirectional polarity and 7.02 V stand-off voltage (VWM) allow integration into DC-biased signal or power rails without forward conduction during normal operation.
The device operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and maintains stable VBR with 0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation (PD) on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C supports continuous thermal management in engine bay environments.

Applications
| Automotive Powertrain Control | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller GPIO and analog front-end inputs in engine control units exposed to alternator load dump and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between sensor signal line and ground, activated within picoseconds of overvoltage onset. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to 24.8 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in 30 V-rated input buffers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 4–20 mA current loop receivers in factory automation PLC I/O modules subjected to field wiring ESD and inductive coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage (7.02 V) isolates normal loop operation; clamps surges >8.61 V to protect op-amp inputs. Use Value: Maintains <50 µA leakage at 7.02 V, preserving loop accuracy while surviving 400 W transients. |
| Automotive Body Electronics | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive |
Use Scenario: Shielding LIN bus transceivers and window lift motor drivers from battery reverse connection and jump-start spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to LIN line, anode to chassis ground; responds faster than internal IC ESD structures. Use Value: Clamps 200 A surge to ≤24.8 V within <1 ns, preventing communication failure during vehicle cranking. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing back-EMF from brushed DC motors in smart home appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners, blenders). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed across motor terminals to absorb inductive energy during PWM commutation. Use Value: Handles 40 A IFSM and 400 W PPPM, eliminating need for external snubbers in cost-sensitive designs. |
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 VBR min/max = 8.55–9.45 V; higher VC = 12.5 V @ 32.4 A | Rated for lower surge current (32.4 A vs. 200 A); suitable only for sub-100 W transients | Select when lower clamping voltage at modest surge levels is prioritized over high-current handling |
| SMCJ8.0A | Same VBR range (7.78–8.60 V), identical VC (24.4 V @ 200 A), but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package | Higher thermal mass allows 1.5× longer surge duration tolerance; not footprint-compatible with MPG06 | Choose for enhanced thermal robustness in high-duty-cycle industrial environments where board space permits |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and SMCJ8.0A, the TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 delivers identical clamping performance at 200 A while fitting the smaller MPG06 footprint-critical for dense automotive ECUs-yet requires verification of layout thermal relief due to its 1.0 W PD limit on infinite heatsink.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range specified for TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 7.79 V to 8.61 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in 12 V automotive systems and avoids premature conduction during normal operation.
Is TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 qualified to AEC-Q101?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 carries the E3 suffix, indicating commercial-grade qualification. For AEC-Q101 compliance, the HE3 suffix variant (e.g., TMPG06-8.2A-HE3) must be selected. The E3 version shares identical electrical specs and package but lacks the extended reliability testing required for automotive safety-critical applications.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 and at what current is it measured?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 24.8 V at 200 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is critical for ensuring downstream components-such as 30 V-rated MOSFETs or op-amps-remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events.
Does TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 features matte tin-plated leads compatible with lead-free reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D. It withstands solder dip at 260 °C for 40 seconds, meeting IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements without preconditioning.
How does the temperature coefficient of VBR affect TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 performance in under-hood applications?
The TMPG06-8.2A-E3/73 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.065 %/°C, meaning breakdown voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At 150 °C, VBR rises ~2.2 V above room-temperature value-still well below 24.8 V clamping threshold-ensuring robust protection across full –65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
