Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13AHE3_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 delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at 18.2 V under 22 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - qualified to AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12.4–13.7 V breakdown voltage range, 11.1 V stand-off voltage, low 0.081 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, optimized for fast response to ESD and inductive switching transients. Its low incremental resistance and 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A support effective clamping without excessive conduction loss during surge events.
The device is characterized under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform testing per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, with derating curves provided for junction temperatures up to 185 °C and pulse repetition at ≤0.01 % duty cycle. It meets JESD 22-B106 solder dip (275 °C, 10 s) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements.

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) and VC (18.2 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Preferred for space-constrained consumer PCBs; less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to lower TJ max (150 °C) | Select SMAJ13A when board area is critical and ambient temperature stays below 105 °C. |
| TPSMF13A | Same electrical specs, but SOD-123FL package with gull-wing leads; higher IFSM (60 A vs. 40 A), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Targeted at industrial and computing applications where automotive qualification is not required | Choose TPSMF13A for cost-sensitive industrial designs needing higher surge margin but no automotive certification. |
Compared with SMAJ13A and TPSMF13A, the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B provides superior high-temperature operation (185 °C vs. 150 °C/175 °C), AEC-Q101 validation, and axial-leaded mechanical robustness - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical automotive and harsh-environment deployments where long-term reliability outweighs footprint savings.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B has a specified breakdown voltage range of 12.4 V to 13.7 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing ±5.5 % tolerance around the nominal 13 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise system-level overvoltage margining in 12 V automotive architectures.
Is TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B is unidirectional only, with a cathode band marking polarity. It protects against positive transients on the anode side relative to cathode (ground). For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ13CA would be required; the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B must be used with correct orientation in the circuit.
What does the "HE3_A/B" suffix indicate in TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "A/B" indicates revision level per Vishay's internal documentation - both revisions share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications per Document Number 88404, Revision 17-Sep-2021.
Can TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B replace SMPG06-13A in existing designs?
Yes - TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B and SMPG06-13A share identical electrical characteristics, MPG06 package dimensions, and lead finish. The "TMPG" prefix reflects Vishay's updated part numbering convention; no PCB layout or schematic changes are needed when migrating from SMPG06-13A to TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-13AHE3_A/B is rated for solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106. Reflow profiles must comply with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature not exceeding 260 °C for ≤30 seconds. Lead-free assembly is supported, and terminations meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
