Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11AHE3/54 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 15.6 V under 25.6 A peak pulse current, and operates with a 9.40 V stand-off voltage and 10.5–11.6 V breakdown range at 1 mA - enabling reliable suppression of load dump and inductive switching transients in 12 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-11AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-11AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-11AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.075 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a planar passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low dynamic impedance to limit transient overvoltage before downstream ICs or MOSFETs are stressed. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode-band marking ensure correct orientation during automated placement.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it sustains 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C lead temperature and exhibits only 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A - supporting high-energy transient absorption without latch-up or thermal runaway in harsh environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ11A | Same 11 V VWM, but lower 400 W PPPM rating applied to SMA package; 150 °C max TJ | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and extended temperature needs |
| TPSMF11A | 11 V VWM, 400 W PPPM, SOD-123FL package; 175 °C max TJ, AEC-Q101 qualified | Surface-mount only; lower surge current rating (23.5 A vs. 25.6 A) and higher VC (17.0 V) | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where axial leads are impractical and 1.4 V higher clamping is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ11A and TPSMF11A, the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 provides superior thermal robustness (185 °C TJ), verified automotive qualification, and tighter clamping (15.6 V), making it optimal for under-hood and high-reliability power rail designs where axial mounting is feasible.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 under peak pulse conditions?
The TMPG06-11AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.6 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and ensures protected circuits remain within safe voltage margins during transient events such as load dump or inductive switching.
Is the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and robust construction make it suitable for under-hood automotive modules where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-11AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/54" specifies the packaging configuration: 5500 pieces per 13-inch paper tape and reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-volume automated assembly and meets automotive supply chain traceability requirements.
How does the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in circuit design?
The TMPG06-11AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed - such as 12 V battery rails or regulated DC supplies. Unlike bidirectional variants, it offers lower leakage (<2 µA at 9.4 V) and tighter VBR tolerance, improving noise immunity and reducing standby power loss in polarized systems.
Can the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 be used in parallel for higher surge handling?
No - the TMPG06-11AHE3/54 is not recommended for parallel operation due to mismatch in dynamic impedance and VBR tolerances, which can cause current imbalance and premature failure. For higher energy requirements, select a higher-rated device (e.g., TMPG06-15AHE3/54) or consult Vishay's application note AN1002 on staged protection topologies.
