Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13AHE3_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 12.4 V to 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 - deployed to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, 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, it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to divert transient current away from downstream ICs. Its low incremental resistance (typ. <0.5 Ω) ensures minimal voltage overshoot during clamping.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it sustains 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C and maintains stable VBR temperature coefficient of +0.081 %/°C - critical for thermal design in under-hood automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 12.4 V / 13.7 V - defines minimum trigger threshold and maximum variation band for reliable avalanche onset across temperature and unit-to-unit |
| VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; sets safe operating margin below VBR |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 22 A - clamping voltage during full 10/1000 µs surge; determines peak stress imposed on protected circuitry |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per JEDEC standard waveform; defines transient energy absorption capability |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature rating; enables operation in high-ambient environments like engine control units |
| IFSM | 40 A - peak forward surge current tolerance; supports protection of rectifier-fed or high-current DC paths |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - suitable only for DC-biased or single-polarity signal lines; cathode marked by color band |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, 0.115–0.125 inch lead length, 0.023–0.026 inch lead diameter, and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower potential node in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse voltage sensing / clamping output | Marked by color band; connected to protected line; conducts avalanche current to anode during overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - required for powertrain and ADAS modules |
| 400 W 10/1000 µs pulse rating | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a transients without degradation; supports CAN/LIN bus and 12 V/24 V system protection |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes overvoltage exposure to sensitive gate drivers and microcontroller I/O pins during fast transients |
| HE3 suffix whisker resistance | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 for tin whisker mitigation - essential for long-life sealed automotive assemblies |
| High TJ max. (+185 °C) | Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC-DC converters) without derating penalties |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ12AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (10.2 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (20.1 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less effective clamping margin; unsuitable for high-temperature ambient (>125 °C) due to lower TJ max. (150 °C) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal environment is moderate; verify layout thermal relief for sustained surges. |
| TPSMF13A | Same VBR range (12.4–13.7 V), identical VC (18.2 V), but SOD-123FL package and lower IFSM (30 A vs. 40 A) | Lower surge current capacity limits use in high-energy inductive loads; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for consumer-grade applications where automotive qualification and 40 A surge headroom are not required. |
Compared with SMAJ12AHE3_A/H and TPSMF13A, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D delivers superior thermal robustness (TJ max. +185 °C), AEC-Q101 validation, and higher forward surge tolerance - making it the preferred choice for under-hood automotive and industrial control systems demanding long-term reliability under harsh electrical stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D under rated surge conditions?
The TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 22 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transient events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. The TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D achieves this with low incremental resistance and tight VBR distribution.
Is TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 88404). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and infotainment systems. The HE3 suffix further certifies compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, a requirement for long-life sealed automotive modules.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D?
The "HE3" suffix in TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. It also confirms compliance with J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD 22-B106 solder dip specifications (275 °C for 10 s). This suffix is integral to the part number and distinguishes it from non-automotive variants - the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D cannot be substituted with non-HE3 versions in qualified designs.
Can TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No, TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D is unidirectional only, as stated in its official features list. It provides avalanche clamping only in reverse bias and conducts forward current like a standard diode - making it unsuitable for AC-coupled or bipolar signal lines such as USB D+/D− or RS-485 differential pairs. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ13CAHE3_A/H) or back-to-back unidirectional configuration would be required. The TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D datasheet explicitly restricts usage to unidirectional polarity applications.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D above 25 °C ambient?
TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D follows standard JEDEC thermal derating: its peak pulse power (PPPM) decreases linearly above TA = 25 °C, with full 400 W capability only at or below 25 °C. At 85 °C ambient, PPPM is reduced to approximately 280 W, and at 125 °C, it drops to ~180 W - per Figure 2 in Document Number 88404. Engineers must apply this derating when sizing protection for high-temperature zones, and the TMPG06-13AHE3_A/D's +185 °C TJ max. ensures functionality even under severe thermal stress.
