Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13AHE3/73 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 12.4–13.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 11.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 18.2 V clamping voltage at 22 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-13AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-13AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-13AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-13AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 22 A IPPM, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, MPG06 package thermal capability up to +185 °C junction temperature, and compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that remains high-impedance below VWM (11.1 V) and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min 12.4 V). Its 0.081 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable triggering across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
It handles non-repetitive 10/1000 µs surges up to 22 A (IPPM), clamping to ≤18.2 V, with low incremental resistance enabling effective energy diversion. The device is rated for 40 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) and 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 12.4 V / 13.7 V - defines precise voltage threshold for avalanche conduction onset |
| VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V @ 22 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient power handling per single 10/1000 µs pulse |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables placement near high-temperature sources like power MOSFETs or engine controllers |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against positive transients only; cathode marked by band |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronic modules per stress test requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead pitch, 1.0" minimum tape reel length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry during forward conduction | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); conducts only during surge events above VBR |
| Cathode | Current exit during avalanche clamping | Marked by color band; tied to ground or lower-potential reference to shunt transient energy |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ13A | Same VWM (11.1 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (21.5 V @ 19.1 A), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for sustained high-temperature environments due to lower TJ max (150 °C vs. 185 °C) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal derating is managed externally. |
| SMCJ13A | Same VWM/VBR, identical PPPM (1500 W), higher IPPM (86.6 A), larger SMC package with superior thermal dissipation | Better for systems requiring higher surge margin or longer pulse duration immunity (e.g., ISO 16750-2) | Choose when system-level surge tests exceed 400 W single-pulse limits or require >1500 W rating. |
Compared with SMAJ13A and SMCJ13A, the TMPG06-13AHE3/73 delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C junction rating, and MPG06 mechanical robustness-making it preferred for under-hood automotive modules where thermal stability and vibration resistance are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-13AHE3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and ensures downstream ICs see limited overvoltage stress during transient events. The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-13AHE3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-13AHE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and robust MPG06 package meet stringent under-hood environmental requirements. The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 has been validated for thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 test conditions.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-13AHE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, while "/73" identifies the specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration (13" diameter reel, 5500 units per reel, C package code). This suffix confirms the TMPG06-13AHE3/73 meets automotive-grade plating and logistics standards required for high-reliability manufacturing. The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 is not a generic variant-it is the production-qualified version for automotive OEMs.
How does TMPG06-13AHE3/73 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 is unidirectional and optimized for suppressing positive transients on DC power rails or signal lines referenced to ground. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, it does not protect against negative-going surges. Its lower leakage (<1 µA at VWM) and tighter VBR tolerance (12.4–13.7 V) make the TMPG06-13AHE3/73 preferable for precision DC systems where reverse conduction must be avoided. Bidirectional alternatives would require different circuit topology and offer no advantage for standard 12 V automotive rails.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-13AHE3/73?
The TMPG06-13AHE3/73 supports solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability. Reflow profiles must stay within peak temperatures defined for its MPG06 package-typically ≤260 °C for 10 s. Exceeding these limits risks internal bond wire damage or epoxy delamination. Always verify the TMPG06-13AHE3/73's thermal profile against your assembly process.
