Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11AHE3_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 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), 15.6 V clamping voltage at 25.6 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection considerations include its unidirectional polarity, low 0.075 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 185 °C max junction temperature, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-temperature reflow and solder-dip processes.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that activates above its specified VWM (9.40 V) to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events without affecting normal circuit operation.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and maintains stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range - critical for under-hood automotive 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), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. 400 W), higher VC (18.2 V), and SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for sustained high-temperature environments due to lower TJ max. (150 °C vs. 185 °C) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is not required |
| TPSMA6L11A | Identical VBR, VWM, and VC, but rated for 600 W PPPM and qualified to AEC-Q101 Rev G; same MPG06 footprint | Higher pulse power margin allows use in more severe transient environments (e.g., heavy-duty truck load dump) | Preferred for next-generation automotive designs requiring extended surge margin and latest qualification revision |
Compared with SMAJ11A and TPSMA6L11A, the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B offers the optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 185 °C junction rating, and proven MPG06 mechanical robustness - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding automotive modules where long-term reliability outweighs peak power headroom.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only in reverse bias during overvoltage events. Its cathode is marked by a color band on the MPG06 package body. This configuration provides precise clamping on positive-rail transients while maintaining high impedance during normal forward-biased operation - a key requirement for protecting 12 V and 24 V automotive power domains. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B does not support bidirectional surge suppression.
Is the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and robust construction meet requirements for under-hood applications such as engine control modules and transmission control units. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B HE3 suffix also confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.6 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.6 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This clamping level ensures protected circuits remain below typical 16 V absolute maximum ratings for automotive-grade microcontrollers and power management ICs. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B achieves this with low incremental resistance and minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients.
Can the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B be used in high-temperature PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B supports solder dip at 275 °C for up to 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 for solderability. The device is compatible with standard reflow profiles, including lead-free processes up to 260 °C peak temperature. Its MPG06 epoxy molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring stability during thermal cycling. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B is designed for reliable integration into high-volume automotive manufacturing lines.
How does the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B differ from the TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B has a higher breakdown voltage range (10.5–11.6 V) and stand-off voltage (9.40 V) compared to the TMPG06-10AHE3_A/B (9.50–10.5 V VBR, 8.55 V VWM). This makes the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/B better suited for 12 V systems with tighter noise margins or higher nominal rail voltages. Both share identical package, power rating (400 W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal specifications - allowing direct substitution where voltage thresholds align with system design requirements.
