Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial signal lines. It features a 10.5–11.6 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/C datasheet, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased interfaces, thermal stability up to +185 °C junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that activates above its breakdown voltage to divert surge energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD-like transients without significant voltage overshoot.
The MPG06 package supports high-temperature operation (TJ = –65 °C to +185 °C) and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements. Its 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge rating enable use in harsh environments where thermal cycling and repetitive load dumps occur.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 10.5 V / 11.6 V - defines precise activation threshold for clamping; ensures reliable turn-on before protected ICs exceed absolute maximum ratings |
| VWM | 9.40 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; must exceed normal signal or supply rail voltage to prevent leakage-induced power loss |
| VC @ IPPM | 15.6 V - clamped voltage at 25.6 A peak pulse; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream components during surge events |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling (10/1000 µs waveform); quantifies single-event surge energy absorption capability |
| IFSM | 40 A - 8.3 ms half-sine surge current rating; validates survivability against automotive load dump and inductive kickback |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood or high-power industrial enclosures without derating |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects only against positive-going transients on cathode-grounded configurations; requires correct orientation in PCB layout |

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 | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC (17.0 V @ 24.1 A); SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for high-temperature ambient (>125 °C) due to lower TJ max. (150 °C) and smaller package thermal capacity | Select when board space is constrained and ambient temperature remains below 105 °C; verify clamping margin with downstream 12 V ICs |
| TPSMF11A | Same VBR range (10.5–11.6 V), but SOD-123FL package; lower IFSM (30 A vs. 40 A); identical AEC-Q101 qualification | Better suited for compact surface-mount designs with automated assembly; not recommended for high-energy load-dump scenarios requiring 40 A surge handling | Choose for space-constrained automotive modules where full 40 A surge margin is not required; confirm layout thermal relief for sustained power dissipation |
Compared with SMAJ10A and TPSMF11A, the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C delivers superior thermal robustness (TJ = +185 °C), higher surge current tolerance (40 A), and larger package thermal mass-making it preferred for under-hood, motor drive, and industrial power interface protection where sustained reliability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.6 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.6 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It supports junction temperatures up to +185 °C, withstands 40 A 8.3 ms surge currents typical of load dump events, and features JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-resistant terminations. These attributes make the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where long-term reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is essential.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing requirements. The "_A/C" indicates the packaging configuration: "A" is the revision code, and "C" is the preferred package code corresponding to 13-inch paper tape and reel delivery with 5500 units per reel. This coding aligns with Vishay's standardized ordering nomenclature for the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C.
How does the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only during positive voltage excursions relative to its cathode, making it ideal for DC-biased lines like 12 V automotive supplies or 5 V logic rails. Bidirectional TVS diodes conduct for both polarities and are used in AC or floating signal paths. Using the unidirectional TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C on a DC line avoids unnecessary leakage and provides tighter clamping than a bidirectional part with equivalent standoff voltage.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C. This rating applies to continuous reverse-biased operation below VWM, where leakage current dominates power loss. Derating is required above 75 °C per the published power derating curve in the datasheet, and actual board-level dissipation depends on copper area and airflow. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/C is not intended for continuous forward conduction.
