Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3/100 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 16 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 15.2–16.8 V), 13.6 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.5 V clamping voltage at 17.8 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3/100 pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3/100 application, or TMPG06-16AHE3/100 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin leads in MPG06 package.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that remains high-impedance below VWM (13.6 V) and rapidly avalanches above VBR (min 15.2 V) to limit transient voltages. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of ESD, load dump, and inductive switching spikes.
Rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses and validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests, the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 sustains operation across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, with thermal derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 and Figure 5 in the datasheet.

Use Value: Responds in <1 ns to limit voltage excursions before controller ICs detect overvoltage and shut down. |
Use Scenario: Protecting -48 V DC telecom power distribution boards from induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode grounded, anode tied to -48 V rail - clamps positive-going transients toward ground reference. Use Value: Withstands repeated 400 W pulses at 0.01% duty cycle, ensuring longevity in central office power systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A | Same VWM (13.6 V) and VC (22.5 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), smaller SMA package (lower thermal mass, less robust for repetitive surges). | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment without automotive validation requirements. | Select SMAJ16A only when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| TPSMF16A | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM) and AEC-Q101 qualification, but in SOD-123FL package with shorter lead form and higher IFSM (50 A vs. 40 A). | Better suited for high-density layouts and automated placement; slightly improved surge endurance due to enhanced thermal path. | Choose TPSMF16A when optimizing for reflow compatibility, tighter pitch designs, or marginally higher single-pulse surge headroom. |
Compared with SMAJ16A and TPSMF16A, the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 offers superior thermal stability at elevated ambient temperatures due to its larger MPG06 case, making it preferred for under-hood automotive locations where sustained +125 °C board temperatures occur.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 during a 10/1000 µs surge?
The TMPG06-16AHE3/100 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 17.8 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during standardized surge events.
Is the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 is unidirectional only, with polarity indicated by a cathode band. It protects against positive transients relative to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data buses), a separate symmetric TVS like SMBJ16CA or a dual-diode array would be required - the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 does not provide reverse-conduction capability.
Does the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, confirming its suitability for automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 above 25 °C ambient?
The TMPG06-16AHE3/100 follows the derating curve in Figure 2 of its datasheet: peak pulse power (PPPM) decreases linearly from 400 W at 25 °C to zero at approximately 175 °C junction temperature. At 125 °C ambient (assuming typical thermal resistance), usable PPPM drops to ~240 W - design margins must account for this reduction when deploying the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 in hot environments.
How is the polarity marked on the TMPG06-16AHE3/100 package?
The TMPG06-16AHE3/100 uses a color band to denote the cathode end, consistent with industry-standard diode marking. The banded end connects to ground or the lower-potential node in shunt TVS configurations. This marking is visible on the molded MPG06 epoxy case and is confirmed in the "Mechanical Data" section of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404).
