Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B 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 with a 8.55 V stand-off voltage and 9.5–10.5 V breakdown range at 1 mA test current. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), high surge capability (40 A IFSM), RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, and MPG06 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental resistance to limit voltage overshoot during ESD or inductive switching transients. Its thermal design supports operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, with power derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2.
The device meets JESD 22-B106 solderability (275 °C, 10 s) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its 0.073 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable clamping across wide temperature ranges, critical for automotive engine bay and industrial motor drive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure in automotive load-dump or inductive kick scenarios |
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets operating margin below system rail |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 9.5–10.5 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for predictable overvoltage response |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 14.5 V at 27.6 A IPPM - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case surge, enabling downstream IC survival |
| Peak Forward Surge Current | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive motor commutation or relay coil de-energization surges |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial inverters, and high-ambient environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with UL 94 V-0 rating; cathode indicated by color band; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path during surge | Connected to protected line's lower-potential side (e.g., GND or return path) in unidirectional configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connected to protected line's higher-potential side (e.g., 12 V rail or signal input); color band marks this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional polarity only | Enables precise clamping on positive-going transients while blocking normal forward bias in DC power paths |
| Low incremental resistance | Minimizes voltage rise under high di/dt surges, improving clamping accuracy and reducing stress on downstream components |
| Fast response time | Sub-nanosecond turn-on ensures suppression before sensitive ICs experience damaging overvoltage |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates long-term reliability under automotive thermal, mechanical, and electrical stress profiles |
| RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, eliminating tin whisker risk in high-reliability PCB assemblies |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Same 10 V nominal breakdown but SMB package (surface-mount); 600 W PPPM; slightly higher VC (16.7 V) | Requires PCB re-layout for SMD footprint; better suited for space-constrained board-level protection | Select when automated SMT assembly and smaller board area are priorities over axial lead serviceability |
| P6SMB10A | Identical SMB package and 600 W rating; same VWM (8.55 V) but higher VBR tolerance (9.4–10.4 V); RoHS-compliant | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not validated for automotive thermal cycling or humidity testing | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B, SMBJ10A offers higher surge rating and surface-mount convenience but requires layout change and has looser clamping; P6SMB10A matches SMB form factor and cost but omits AEC-Q101 validation, limiting use to non-automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B clamps to a maximum of 14.5 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current of 27.6 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured per Figure 1 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) ensures effective protection for 12 V systems without overstressing downstream regulators or ICs.
Is TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD immunity. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance) make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
What does the "HE3_A/B" suffix indicate in TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements, while "_A/B" specifies the revision code-"A" or "B" indicates minor process or material updates per Vishay's internal revision control. Both revisions share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and qualification status; the suffix ensures traceability and compliance alignment with automotive and industrial procurement standards.
How does TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B is unidirectional only, meaning it clamps positive transients relative to its cathode connection and blocks reverse current like a standard diode. Unlike bidirectional TVS devices-which protect both polarities-it cannot suppress negative-going surges on the same node. This makes TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B ideal for DC power rail protection (e.g., 12 V systems), where polarity is fixed and clamping direction is known, offering tighter VBR tolerance and lower leakage than equivalent bidirectional parts.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B?
TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B supports solder dip at up to 275 °C for a maximum of 10 seconds, per JESD 22-B106. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability. Reflow profiles must stay within this thermal limit to avoid epoxy cracking or junction degradation. The MPG06 package's UL 94 V-0 molding compound remains stable under these conditions, ensuring mechanical integrity and flame resistance after assembly.
