Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11AHE3/73 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 features a 10.5 V to 11.6 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 9.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 25.6 V clamping voltage at 15.6 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-11AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-11AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-11AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity configuration, and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly per JESD 22-B102 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements.
Technical Context
The TMPG06-11AHE3/73 operates as a silicon avalanche diode that enters controlled breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (10.5–11.6 V), limiting transient energy by diverting surge current to ground. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping at 25.6 V up to 15.6 A IPPM, with response time under 1.0 ps.
Thermal design is governed by a maximum junction temperature of +185 °C and power derating above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2; it sustains 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 10.5 V / 11.6 V - defines precise breakdown onset for reliable triggering at system-level overvoltage thresholds |
| VWM | 9.40 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 2.0 µA, ensuring no false triggering during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 25.6 V - clamping voltage at 15.6 A peak pulse current, directly limiting protected circuit voltage stress during ESD or load dump |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, supporting automotive ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance testing |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), enabling resilience against inductive switching events in motor control or relay drivers |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC package with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy, and AEC-Q101 qualification |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a color band. Leads are matte tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or CAN_H); color band identifies this end for correct PCB orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces |

| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 2.2) | Minimizes voltage overshoot across protected ICs, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide damage in MOSFETs and microcontrollers |
| High-temperature stability (TJ = –65 °C to +185 °C) | Enables deployment in under-bonnet, powertrain, and industrial motor drive environments where ambient exceeds 125 °C |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Provides flame-retardant encapsulation required for automotive and industrial safety-critical assemblies |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed on each -48 V feed to backplane modules to prevent cascading failure during insertion/removal. Use Value: Withstands 40 A IFSM and maintains stable VBR across -40 °C to +105 °C operating range, ensuring uptime in central office environments. |
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 VWM (9.4 V) and VBR range, but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (23.0 V @ 17.3 A), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Preferred for space-constrained consumer PCBs; less suitable for sustained automotive thermal cycling due to smaller package thermal capacity | Select SMAJ11A only if board area is critical and peak surge duration is strictly limited to <100 µs |
| 1.5KE11A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, VBR 10.5–11.6 V identical, but VC = 18.2 V @ 82.5 A - significantly lower clamping ratio | Better for high-energy industrial motor drives; not AEC-Q101 qualified and incompatible with automated SMT assembly | Choose 1.5KE11A only for through-hole legacy designs requiring >400 W surge margin and no automotive qualification requirement |
Compared with SMAJ11A and 1.5KE11A, the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 qualification, SMT-compatible MPG06 packaging, 400 W capability, and 25.6 V clamping - making it optimal for new automotive and industrial SMT platforms where reliability, manufacturability, and thermal robustness are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-11AHE3/73?
The TMPG06-11AHE3/73 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 10.5 V to 11.6 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage threshold design in automotive and industrial circuits using the TMPG06-11AHE3/73.
Is TMPG06-11AHE3/73 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It conducts in reverse bias during overvoltage events but blocks forward current above ~3.5 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), a separate symmetric TVS like SMBJ11CA or dedicated dual-rail design is required; the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 must be used in polarity-aware configurations.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-11AHE3/73 under surge conditions?
The TMPG06-11AHE3/73 clamps to a maximum of 25.6 V at its rated peak pulse current of 15.6 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events - a critical parameter when selecting the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 for 12 V system protection.
Does TMPG06-11AHE3/73 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes - the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay document 88404. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing, validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications where the TMPG06-11AHE3/73 is deployed.
What is the lead finish and solderability specification for TMPG06-11AHE3/73?
The TMPG06-11AHE3/73 features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 (solderability) and JESD 22-B102 (solder heat resistance). Its HE3 suffix indicates passing JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The device supports solder reflow up to 275 °C for 10 s (per JESD 22-B106), confirming robust compatibility with standard lead-free SMT processes used for the TMPG06-11AHE3/73.
