Product details
Overview
TMPG06-15AHE3/53 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 14.3 V to 15.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 12.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 21.2 V clamping voltage at 18.9 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-15AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-15AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-15AHE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity alignment with DC-biased circuits, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring JESD22-B106 soldering compliance.
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 surge current away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping during repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
Rated for continuous operation from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, it maintains stable VBR with a +0.084 %/°C temperature coefficient and supports 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for inductive load switching events in engine control units and power supply inputs.

Use Value: Handles 40 A single-pulse surge (8.3 ms) without parametric shift, ensuring long-term reliability in high-cycle consumer applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ15A | Same VWM (12.8 V) and VC (24.4 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), smaller SMA package (lower thermal mass) | Limited to ≤125 °C TJ max; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial use where space is constrained and temperature extremes are absent |
| SMCJ15A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VBR, larger SMC package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Overqualified for 400 W needs; requires more PCB area and higher cost | Preferred only when future-proofing for higher-energy transients or when shared BOM with higher-power variants is required |
Compared with SMAJ15A and SMCJ15A, the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 185 °C thermal capability, and MPG06 footprint-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive modules needing full temperature range validation without overengineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 under standard test conditions?
The TMPG06-15AHE3/53 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 21.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 18.9 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream 24 V-rated components. The TMPG06-15AHE3/53 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low incremental resistance and stable avalanche characteristics.
Is the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C, making it fully suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications. Its construction meets JESD22-B106 soldering requirements and its electrical parameters-including VBR, VC, and PPPM-are validated per automotive surge immunity standards such as ISO 7637-2. The TMPG06-15AHE3/53 is widely deployed in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
How does the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 differ from the TMPG06-15AHE3_A/C variant?
The TMPG06-15AHE3/53 and TMPG06-15AHE3_A/C share identical electrical specifications, package (MPG06), and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "/53" suffix denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration (5500 pcs per 13″ reel, paper tape), whereas "_A/C" indicates revision code "A" and carrier type "C". Both are functionally interchangeable; the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 is the orderable part number used by major distributors for volume procurement.
What is the reverse leakage current of the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 at its stand-off voltage?
At its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 12.8 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 µA. At elevated junction temperature (150 °C), leakage remains ≤5.0 µA-ensuring minimal power loss and no interference with low-current sensor bias networks. This low leakage is critical for battery-powered automotive modules where quiescent current must be tightly controlled.
Can the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-15AHE3/53 is unidirectional only, with polarity clearly marked by a cathode band. It conducts only during reverse overvoltage events and blocks forward current beyond its specified VF (3.5 V at 25 A). For bidirectional protection, two TMPG06-15AHE3/53 devices must be connected in series opposition-or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ15CA) should be selected. Using a single TMPG06-15AHE3/53 in bidirectional mode risks catastrophic failure during positive transients.
