Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C 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_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C 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 assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case, optimized for fast response to ESD and inductive switching transients. Its low incremental resistance and excellent clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) ensure minimal overshoot during surge events while maintaining stable leakage (<5 µA at VWM).
Designed for unidirectional operation only, it features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, HE3 suffix meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test, and UL 94 V-0 flammability-rated molding compound - supporting high-temperature reliability up to 185 °C TJ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.50 V / 10.5 V - precise breakdown threshold ensures reliable triggering before downstream IC damage |
| VWM | 8.55 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage without leakage degradation |
| IPPM | 27.6 A - peak pulse current handling at 10/1000 µs waveform defines surge immunity level |
| VC (max) | 14.5 V - clamping voltage limits protected circuit stress during worst-case transients |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power rating determines energy absorption capability per transient |
| TJ max | +185 °C - extended junction temperature enables under-hood automotive deployment |
| IFSM | 40 A - 8.3 ms single half-sine surge current rating supports motor driver and relay coil suppression |

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, but lower 400 W PPPM rating and SMA package (surface-mount); 15.5 V VC vs. 14.5 V | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C TJ rating | Select SMAJ10A only for non-automotive, board-level surge protection where reflow compatibility is required |
| 1.5KE10A | Higher 1500 W PPPM, DO-201 package, 10.5 V VBR, 16.7 V VC; no AEC-Q101 or 185 °C rating | Better for high-energy industrial transients; larger footprint and lower thermal robustness than MPG06 | Choose 1.5KE10A when surge energy exceeds 400 W but automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with SMAJ10A and 1.5KE10A, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C operation, and axial-leaded MPG06 packaging - making it the only option among the three validated for under-hood automotive use with full thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 9.50 V to 10.5 V at 1.0 mA test current, per the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88404. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots and supports reliable overvoltage protection design margins in 12 V systems. The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode. For bidirectional protection, two TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ10CA should be selected. The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C datasheet confirms polarity is marked by a cathode band and does not support reverse conduction.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C at rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C is 14.5 V at 27.6 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the Vishay datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C achieves this with a clamping ratio of approximately 1.45 relative to its nominal VBR.
Does TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021 (Document Number 88404). It passes stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and surge endurance required for automotive electronics. The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C also supports operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, exceeding typical under-hood requirements.
What is the lead finish and solderability specification for TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C?
TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability, and meets JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance. The HE3 suffix denotes this qualification. The device supports solder dip at 275 °C for up to 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106. These specifications ensure reliable through-hole assembly in high-volume manufacturing and long-term interconnect integrity in harsh environments. The TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C datasheet explicitly lists these process qualifications.
