Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13HE3/54 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 - enabling use in engine control units, sensor interfaces, and 12 V battery-supplied circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-13HE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-13HE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-13HE3/54 application, or TMPG06-13HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.081 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TMPG06-13HE3/54 operates as a clamping-type TVS diode that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its 12.4–13.7 V breakdown range, limiting transients to ≤18.2 V at 22 A. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and ESD events.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains specified performance across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, with derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2. The device is qualified to AEC-Q101, uses UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy encapsulation, and supports soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s per JESD 22-B106.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 12.4 V / 13.7 V - defines precise avalanche onset range for reliable clamping threshold setting |
| VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 22 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, directly limits stress on downstream ICs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ13A-E3/52 (Vishay) | Same VBR range (13.7–15.1 V), but SMB package (smaller footprint, lower IPPM = 20.5 A) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for full load dump compliance | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy ≤300 W suffices |
| 1.5KE13A (ON Semiconductor) | Higher VC (21.2 V), larger DO-201 package, same PPPM (400 W), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not automotive-qualified; requires additional validation for automotive use | Acceptable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ13A-E3/52 and 1.5KE13A, the TMPG06-13HE3/54 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MPG06 axial-leaded mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments, and precise 18.2 V clamping - making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade 12 V rail protection where reliability and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TMPG06-13HE3/54?
The TMPG06-13HE3/54 is a unidirectional TVS diode, with the cathode identified by a color band on the MPG06 package. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events and blocks forward current like a standard rectifier diode. This configuration makes TMPG06-13HE3/54 ideal for protecting positive-rail circuits where clamping to ground is required, unlike bidirectional variants used for AC or differential line protection.
Is the TMPG06-13HE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-13HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life required for automotive electronics. This qualification applies specifically to the HE3 suffix variant, confirming TMPG06-13HE3/54 for use in engine control modules, body control units, and other safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-13HE3/54 under surge conditions?
The TMPG06-13HE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 22 A (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is measured at the device terminals and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Can the TMPG06-13HE3/54 be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the TMPG06-13HE3/54 supports an operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +185 °C and is explicitly characterized for performance at elevated temperatures. Its 0.081 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient and derating curves (Figure 2) allow accurate design margining in under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C - a key advantage of TMPG06-13HE3/54 over standard TVS diodes rated only to 150 °C.
What packaging and plating specifications apply to the TMPG06-13HE3/54?
The TMPG06-13HE3/54 uses the MPG06 axial-leaded package with UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy encapsulation and matte tin-plated leads. These leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing (HE3 suffix). The device ships in 13" paper tape and reel (5500 pcs/reel), and its 0.100" lead pitch supports standard through-hole assembly processes - all verified for TMPG06-13HE3/54 in Vishay Document 88404.
