Product details
Overview
TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for automotive-grade surge protection with 9.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 8.19–10.0 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 13.8 V clamping voltage at 50 A IPPM, and 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at 7.37 V stand-off voltage. It protects MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at rated IPPM, temperature coefficient of VBR (0.068 %/°C), AEC-Q101 eligibility via HE3 variant, and RoHS/WEEE compliance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of inductive switching transients and ESD events. Its junction operates up to +185 °C and maintains stable VBR across temperature due to a documented 0.068 %/°C coefficient.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and exhibits <1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM = 7.37 V - critical for low-power sensor interface protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 8.19 V / 10.0 V at 1 mA - defines precise breakdown threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VC @ IPPM | 13.8 V at 50 A (10/1000 µs) - ensures protected circuit sees no more than 13.8 V during worst-case surge |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA at 7.37 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical automotive modules |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform, 0.01 % duty cycle) - sustains repetitive surge events without degradation |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - supports under-hood operation in modern automotive powertrain and ADAS systems |
| Temp. Coeff. VBR | 0.068 %/°C - enables accurate clamping performance prediction across full operating temperature range |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated, cathode denoted by color band. Lead length: 0.375" (9.5 mm).

Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller I/O pins and driver circuits from load-dump spikes and alternator ripple in 12 V vehicle electrical systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping element placed between protected signal line and chassis ground. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤13.8 V at 50 A, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream 5 V/3.3 V logic. |
Use Scenario: Shields analog output lines of pressure/temperature sensors in factory automation PLCs from EMI and switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector maintaining <1.0 µA leakage at 7.37 V to avoid signal offset in precision 4–20 mA loops. Use Value: Ensures measurement integrity by clamping surges before they distort low-level mV-range sensor outputs. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Telecom Interface Port Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguards LIN bus transceivers and window motor drivers against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients.

Use Value: Maintains signal integrity while delivering 400 W surge handling - critical for telecom infrastructure uptime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC = 14.4 V at 38.9 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules requiring MPG06's robust leadframe thermal path | Select SMAJ9.0A only if board area is critical and 0.6 V higher clamping is acceptable in system-level testing |
| TPSMF9.0A | Same VBR range (8.1–9.0 V), but lower PPPM (200 W); SOD-123FL package with 1.2 mm height | Insufficient for 400 W load-dump events - limited to low-energy ESD and contact discharge scenarios | Choose TPSMF9.0A only for consumer electronics where surge energy is below 100 W and height restriction applies |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A and TPSMF9.0A, TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 delivers superior thermal robustness via MPG06's extended leads and higher sustained power rating, making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding repeatable 400 W surge immunity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.8 V at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events. The TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 achieves this with low dynamic impedance enabled by its PAR® construction.
Is TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 qualified for automotive use?
The TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 is rated for automotive-grade temperature operation (–65 °C to +185 °C) and meets RoHS/WEEE requirements. While the E3 suffix denotes commercial grade, the HE3 suffix variant is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified. Engineers selecting TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 for automotive applications should verify qualification status per batch and consult Vishay's AEC-Q101 test reports for the HE3 version of TMPG06-9.1.
What does the "E3/73" suffix mean in TMPG06-9.1-E3/73?
The "E3" suffix indicates commercial-grade temperature rating and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating per J-STD-002B. The "/73" denotes packaging in 7" diameter tape-and-reel (base quantity 5500 pcs), distinct from "/54" (13" reel). This packaging format ensures compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and supports high-volume automotive manufacturing flow.
How does TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 compare to Zener diodes used for overvoltage protection?
Unlike standard Zener diodes, TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 is engineered as a transient voltage suppressor with optimized junction design for high peak power (400 W), fast response (<1 ns), and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.52). Its PAR® construction provides stable performance under repetitive surges - a capability not guaranteed by general-purpose Zeners. The TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 also specifies guaranteed IPPM and thermal derating curves absent in most Zener datasheets.
Can TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, with cathode identified by a color band. Bidirectional protection requires either two series-opposed unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ9.0CA. Using TMPG06-9.1-E3/73 in reverse-biased mode beyond its specified VRWM risks irreversible breakdown, as its reverse standoff voltage is defined only for forward-biased clamping operation.
