Product details
Overview
TMPG06-10HE3/73 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 with a 8.55 V stand-off voltage and 9.5–10.5 V breakdown range at 1 mA. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-10HE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-10HE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-10HE3/73 application, or TMPG06-10HE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, low clamping voltage (VC = 14.5 V), high surge capability (IFSM = 40 A), and MPG06 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly in harsh-environment designs.
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 AEC-Q101 qualification confirms reliability under automotive thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress conditions.
The device operates unidirectionally with a defined cathode band, supports soldering per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing due to matte tin-plated leads. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature enables use in under-hood and high-power industrial environments without derating penalties.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.50 V / 10.5 V at 1 mA - defines precise breakdown onset for predictable clamping initiation |

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), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (16.7 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to 150 °C TJ max vs. 185 °C | Select when board space is constrained and ambient temperature remains <105 °C |
| 1.5KE10A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, same VBR range, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not validated for automotive vibration, thermal cycling, or long-term reliability in safety-critical modules | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMAJ10A and 1.5KE10A, TMPG06-10HE3/73 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction rating, and MPG06 axial-leaded form factor-making it optimal for automotive power distribution and high-reliability industrial controls where thermal robustness and qualification compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-10HE3/73 under full-rated surge current?
The TMPG06-10HE3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 14.5 V when subjected to its peak pulse current (IPPM) of 27.6 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected downstream components-such as microcontrollers or CAN transceivers-remain within their absolute maximum voltage ratings during transient events. The low VC is achieved through low incremental resistance and optimized junction design in the TMPG06-10HE3/73.
Is TMPG06-10HE3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-10HE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and long-term reliability under under-hood conditions. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and robust surge handling make TMPG06-10HE3/73 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TMPG06-10HE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix in TMPG06-10HE3/73 denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. It also indicates tape-and-reel packaging (5500 pcs per 13" reel) and alignment with Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified base P/NHE3_X product line. The "/73" denotes a specific manufacturing lot or traceability code per Vishay's internal ordering convention.
How does TMPG06-10HE3/73 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
TMPG06-10HE3/73 is unidirectional only, meaning it clamps positive transients on the cathode side while blocking reverse voltage up to VWM = 8.55 V. Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot suppress negative-going surges on the same node. This makes TMPG06-10HE3/73 ideal for DC power rail protection (e.g., 12 V battery lines), whereas bidirectional types are used for AC or differential signal lines like USB or Ethernet.
What is the lead spacing and package outline for TMPG06-10HE3/73?
TMPG06-10HE3/73 uses the MPG06 package: axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with 0.100" (2.54 mm) nominal lead spacing, 0.125" (3.18 mm) body length, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002. Full mechanical dimensions-including lead diameter (0.026"/0.66 mm) and body diameter-are specified in Vishay document 88404, Figure on page 4.
