Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10AHE3/73 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 max under 27.6 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - qualified to AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-10AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-10AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-10AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 V breakdown voltage (9.5–10.5 V), 8.55 V stand-off voltage, low 3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A, 40 A surge rating, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, enabling stable clamping performance under repetitive transients up to 0.01 % duty cycle. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events without compromising signal integrity.
The device is characterized for operation at TJ = 25 °C unless derated per Fig. 2, with thermal performance validated up to 185 °C maximum junction temperature and lead temperature (TL) derating defined at 75 °C for 1.0 W continuous power dissipation. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 9.5–10.5 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for reliable overvoltage detection |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA, ensuring no false triggering |
| Peak Pulse Power PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive kick scenarios |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 14.5 V at IPPM = 27.6 A - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge events |
| Surge Current IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive motor-driver or relay-switching surges without degradation |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including engine control units and industrial motor drives |
| Package | MPG06 - axial-leaded, surface-mount compatible outline with 2.54 mm lead spacing and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased TVS on negative supply rail to clamp positive-going transients induced by lightning or switching noise. Use Value: Stable 10 V VBR tolerance and -65 °C to +185 °C operation ensure reliability in outdoor cabinets exposed to wide ambient swings. |
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 10 V VBR range but SMA package (surface-mount, smaller footprint); 400 W rating; lower IFSM (30 A) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; less robust for high-repetition surge events in motor drive circuits | Select when board area is limited and surge repetition rate is low; verify thermal pad layout for 1.0 W PD |
| P6SMB10A | DO-214AA package; identical VBR/VWM specs; same 400 W PPPM; slightly higher VC (15.0 V) | Compatible with automated SMT assembly; requires rework of land pattern vs. axial MPG06 through-hole or gull-wing variants | Choose for full SMT production flow; confirm clamping margin remains acceptable at 15.0 V vs. TMPG06-10AHE3/73's 14.5 V |
Compared with SMAJ10A and P6SMB10A, TMPG06-10AHE3/73 offers superior surge endurance (40 A IFSM), axial-leaded mechanical stability for high-vibration environments, and AEC-Q101 validation - making it preferred for automotive and industrial applications where long-term reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 under peak pulse conditions?
The TMPG06-10AHE3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 27.6 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and reflects the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The clamping performance remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to low temperature coefficient (0.073 %/°C).
Is the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control modules, transmission control units, and body electronics. Its MPG06 package provides mechanical robustness, and the HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing - essential for long-term reliability in thermally aggressive environments.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-10AHE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements, while "73" refers to Vishay's internal packaging and reel configuration code (13" diameter paper tape and reel, 5500 units per reel). This full designation confirms the part meets automotive-grade material and assembly standards required for high-reliability production.
How does the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 compare to standard P6KE series TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-10AHE3/73 offers higher surge current capability (40 A IFSM vs. typical 25–30 A for P6KE10A), tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %), and AEC-Q101 qualification - features not found in legacy P6KE devices. Its MPG06 package also supports higher thermal dissipation than DO-15, and the HE3 plating ensures long-term solder joint integrity in vibration-prone applications where TMPG06-10AHE3/73 is deployed.
Can the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to the anode (ground). For bidirectional protection - such as AC line or data bus applications - a separate symmetric TVS like SMBJ10CA or a back-to-back diode arrangement would be required; the TMPG06-10AHE3/73 must not be substituted without circuit redesign.
