Product details
Overview
TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D 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 - enabling use in engine control units and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased lines, high-temperature junction stability up to +185 °C, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (10.5–11.6 V), it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to divert surge current away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping at 15.6 V under 25.6 A IPPM, minimizing stress on protected components during load-switching transients.
The device uses a passivated silicon junction molded in UL 94 V-0 epoxy (MPG06 package), rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75 °C. Thermal derating follows Fig. 2, maintaining reliability across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 10.5 V / 11.6 V - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 9.40 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 2.0 µA, ensuring no false conduction in normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 15.6 V - clamping voltage at 25.6 A peak pulse, limiting protected circuit voltage stress during transients |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ11A-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VBR range (10.5–11.6 V), but SMB package (surface-mount); 600 W PPPM; 1.5 W PD | Requires PCB rework for SMT layout; better suited for space-constrained board areas | Select when automated assembly and smaller footprint outweigh axial lead serviceability needs |
| 1.5KE11A (ON Semiconductor) | Higher VC (18.2 V), same PPPM (400 W), TO-204AA (DO-41) package; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification and high-temp junction rating; limited to commercial/industrial use | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 18.2 V clamping is within protected IC margins |
Compared with SMBJ11A-E3/52 and 1.5KE11A, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D provides AEC-Q101 validation, +185 °C TJ max, and axial-leaded serviceability - making it optimal for automotive repairability, high-temperature under-hood deployment, and legacy through-hole manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D under specified test conditions?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 15.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 25.6 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021 (Document Number: 88404), Section "MECHANICAL DATA". This certification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its use in engine control units, body control modules, and other automotive subsystems. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D also meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why is it important for TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D selection?
The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 9.40 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state below this reverse voltage, with leakage current limited to ≤2.0 µA at 25 °C. This parameter is critical because it must exceed the maximum normal operating voltage of the protected line - for example, a 9 V nominal rail - to prevent unwanted conduction and power loss. Selecting TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D for such a rail ensures reliable blocking while providing headroom for ripple and tolerance.
Does TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D have a defined junction capacitance, and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
While the Vishay datasheet does not specify junction capacitance (CJ) for TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D individually, the TMPG06 family shows CJ < 100 pF at zero bias (Fig. 4, Document Number: 88404). For signal-line protection, this low capacitance minimizes high-frequency attenuation and timing skew - especially relevant for analog sensor outputs (e.g., MAP, O2 sensors) operating below 1 MHz. The TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D thus preserves signal fidelity without requiring additional RC filtering.
What is the lead finish and solderability specification for TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D?
TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 (solderability) and JESD 22-B102 (solder heat resistance). It supports solder dip at 275 °C for up to 10 seconds (per JESD 22-B106) and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing due to its HE3 suffix. These specifications ensure robust, void-free solder joints in both wave and hand-soldering processes - essential for long-term reliability in automotive and industrial deployments of TMPG06-11AHE3_A/D.
