Product details
Overview
TMPG06-15AHE3/54 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 14.3 V to 15.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 12.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 21.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 18.9 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed to protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-15AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-15AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-15AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-15AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity alignment with DC-biased rails, AEC-Q101 compliance for automotive ECUs, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-temperature reflow and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that remains non-conductive below VWM = 12.8 V and rapidly avalanches above VBR = 14.3–15.8 V to limit transient voltages. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping at VC = 21.2 V under 18.9 A IPPM, with response time < 1.0 ps and junction temperature range from –65 °C to +185 °C.
The device uses passivated silicon junctions encapsulated in UL 94 V-0 epoxy (MPG06 case), with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and RoHS compliance, supporting automated assembly in high-reliability automotive modules.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 14.3 V / 15.8 V - defines minimum avalanche initiation threshold and maximum variation across production lot at 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 12.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA, sets safe DC bias margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 21.2 V at 18.9 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, determines protected circuit's maximum transient exposure |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per single 10/1000 µs waveform, derated linearly above 25 °C ambient |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supports repeated load-dump event tolerance |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature, enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating |

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 | DO-214AC package; 15.0 V VBR min, 24.4 V VC @ 17.2 A; 400 W rating; same AEC-Q101 grade | Larger footprint (7.0 × 4.5 mm vs. MPG06's 2.54 mm lead spacing); lower thermal mass limits sustained surge duty | Select when board layout allows DO-214AC and higher VC margin is acceptable |
| TPSMF15A | SOD-123FL package; 15.0 V VBR, 23.2 V VC @ 17.2 A; 400 W; AEC-Q101 qualified; 1.3 pF capacitance | Surface-mount only; unsuitable for through-hole or high-current leaded designs; lower IFSM (30 A) | Prefer for space-constrained PCBs where axial-leaded mounting is impractical |
Compared with SMAJ15A and TPSMF15A, TMPG06-15AHE3/54 offers superior thermal robustness via axial-leaded MPG06 packaging, higher IFSM (40 A), and proven suitability for high-vibration automotive harness connections - making it optimal for under-hood power rail protection where mechanical reliability and surge endurance are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-15AHE3/54 under standard surge conditions?
The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 21.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 18.9 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, with minimal drift due to its low VBR temperature coefficient of 0.084 %/°C.
Is TMPG06-15AHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-15AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, robust lead finish (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistant), and validated performance under ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge waveforms confirm its suitability. The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 meets automotive humidity, thermal cycling, and mechanical vibration requirements without derating in typical under-hood environments.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-15AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction, matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/54" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-D standard, with 5500 units per 13-inch reel - matching Vishay's preferred delivery mode for automated SMT placement. The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 therefore combines process reliability with logistics readiness for high-volume manufacturing.
How does TMPG06-15AHE3/54 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
TMPG06-15AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band, and functions exclusively on positively biased lines - it conducts during positive transients relative to ground. Bidirectional variants (e.g., TMPG06-15AE3) provide symmetrical clamping for AC or floating signals but sacrifice ~10 % peak power rating and exhibit higher leakage near zero bias. The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 delivers optimized performance for DC power rails and grounded-signal paths where polarity is fixed.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-15AHE3/54?
TMPG06-15AHE3/54 supports solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C. Its MPG06 epoxy molding compound is rated UL 94 V-0 and withstands multiple thermal cycles without delamination. The TMPG06-15AHE3/54 lead finish ensures wetting and joint integrity under IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 requirements, with no pre-bake needed for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling.
