Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails and signal lines. It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at 14.5 V under 27.6 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - enabling use in engine control units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-10AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-10AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-10AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 8.55 V stand-off voltage, low 0.073 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Its unidirectional polarity features a cathode band marking and supports surge immunity per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 standards.
The device exhibits low incremental resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective clamping of inductive switching transients and ESD events. It is derated above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2 and supports repetitive 0.01 % duty cycle pulses without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.50 V / 10.5 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise breakdown onset for predictable clamping threshold |
| VWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 14.5 V at 27.6 A - clamped voltage during 400 W 10/1000 µs transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without failure, critical for load-dump protection |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| Temperature Coefficient | 0.073 %/°C - ensures stable VBR across wide temperature range, minimizing design margin uncertainty |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between 12 V supply and ground, triggered within nanoseconds of overvoltage event. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤14.5 V, preventing damage to 16-bit MCU and isolated CAN PHY operating at 3.3 V logic levels. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC digital input circuits from field-wiring induced surges and relay coil flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end protection device on DIN-rail mounted I/O card, positioned before optocoupler input stage. Use Value: Withstands 40 A surge current (8.3 ms) and maintains <5 µA leakage at 20 V, ensuring stable opto-isolator biasing. |
| Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Board | Telecom Power Supply Front-End |
Use Scenario: Suppressing back-EMF spikes from brushed DC motors in washing machine control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across motor terminals, conducting only during inductive turn-off transients.

Use Scenario: Secondary-side overvoltage suppression on 48 V telecom rectifier output feeding base station radios. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on regulated 48 V bus, activated only during rare lightning-induced surges. Use Value: Maintains 1.0 µA leakage at 40 V, avoiding unnecessary power loss while delivering 400 W pulse absorption capacity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ10A | Same VWM (8.55 V) and VC (14.5 V), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ10A's 400 W - identical rating), SMC package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Preferred where board space allows larger SMC package and higher thermal dissipation is needed for repetitive surges | Select SMAJ10A when PCB layout permits SMC footprint and system requires enhanced thermal stability under sustained transient load |
| 1.5KE10A | Higher VC (16.7 V), same VWM, but DO-201 package (axial, longer leads, lower surge current rating: 32.5 A vs. 27.6 A) | Used in legacy industrial designs with through-hole assembly and less stringent clamping voltage requirements | Choose 1.5KE10A only if existing DO-201 footprint must be retained and 2.2 V higher clamping voltage is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ10A and 1.5KE10A, the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 offers identical clamping performance in a smaller, AEC-Q101 qualified MPG06 package optimized for automated surface-mount and high-reliability automotive reflow, with tighter VBR tolerance and lower temperature coefficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 under peak pulse conditions?
The TMPG06-10AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 27.6 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per the test conditions defined in Vishay document 88404 and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 protection circuit.
Is the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD per JEDEC standards. This qualification confirms its suitability for use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and infotainment systems where the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 provides certified transient protection.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-10AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/54" specifies the packaging variant: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, 5500 units per reel. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment used in manufacturing the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 into automotive and industrial assemblies.
Can the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 replace a standard 1N4007 in surge protection roles?
No - the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 is not a rectifier but a specialized transient voltage suppressor with 400 W pulse rating, 14.5 V clamping, and sub-nanosecond response. The 1N4007 is a general-purpose rectifier with no controlled clamping behavior. Using TMPG06-10AHE3/54 in place of a 1N4007 would result in unintended conduction and potential failure; it must be applied only as a parallel-connected TVS, not as a series rectifier.
What is the operating temperature range for the TMPG06-10AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-10AHE3/54 operates across a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +185 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 testing. This extended range supports deployment in under-hood automotive locations, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits - a key specification differentiating the TMPG06-10AHE3/54 from generic TVS diodes.
