Product details
Overview
TMPG06-13HE3/73 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 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 for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-13HE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-13HE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-13HE3/73 application, or TMPG06-13HE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating up to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly per JESD 22-B102 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range (12.4–13.7 V at 1 mA). Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients before downstream ICs or MOSFETs are damaged.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C, and maintains stable performance across –65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 12.4 V / 13.7 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for predictable clamping onset |
| VWM | 11.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage without leakage degradation |
| VC @ IPPM | 18.2 V at 22 A (10/1000 µs) - actual clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |

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 | Same VWM (11.1 V), higher VC (21.5 V at 19.6 A), SMC package (larger footprint) | Lower power density; less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Select SMBJ13A only if board layout allows larger SMC footprint and thermal mass is sufficient for lower IPPM |
| 1.5KE13A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), TO-204AA (DO-4) package, slower response due to higher junction capacitance | Designed for bulkier industrial power supplies; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose 1.5KE13A for non-automotive, high-energy surge scenarios where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with TMPG06-13HE3/73, SMBJ13A offers identical standoff but reduced clamping efficiency and larger size, while 1.5KE13A delivers higher surge capacity at the cost of automotive qualification and slower transient response - making TMPG06-13HE3/73 optimal for compact, high-reliability automotive signal and power line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-13HE3/73 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The TMPG06-13HE3/73 clamps to a maximum of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 22 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and represents the upper bound of voltage seen by protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the TMPG06-13HE3/73 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-13HE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications including engine control units, lighting drivers, and body electronics. Its HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and RoHS requirements - essential for automotive manufacturing.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-13HE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified version with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards; "73" refers to the specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration (13" reel, 5500 pcs). Both identifiers confirm full compliance with automotive and high-reliability assembly requirements.
How does the TMPG06-13HE3/73 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-13HE3/73 is unidirectional only, optimized for DC power rail and signal line protection where transients occur in one polarity. Unlike bidirectional variants, it provides lower leakage at VWM (1.0 µA) and tighter VBR tolerance - advantageous in precision analog and automotive power domains where reverse conduction must be strictly avoided.
Can the TMPG06-13HE3/73 replace older P6KE13A devices?
The TMPG06-13HE3/73 is not a direct replacement for P6KE13A due to differences in package (MPG06 vs. DO-15), thermal resistance, and surge rating (400 W vs. 600 W). While both share similar VBR and VWM, the TMPG06-13HE3/73 offers superior high-temperature stability and AEC-Q101 qualification - use only after validating layout, thermal, and clamping performance in the target application.
