Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3/53 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 15.2–16.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 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 TMPG06-16AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-16AHE3/53 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 lead-free reflow and solder dip per JESD 22-B106.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (15.2–16.8 V at 1.0 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 infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and maintains stable clamping behavior 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) | 15.2 V / 16.8 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for predictable clamping onset |
| VWM | 13.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage without leakage degradation |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.5 V at 17.8 A (10/1000 µs) - actual clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current handling for 8.3 ms half-sine, enabling protection against load dump events |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating supporting high-ambient automotive applications |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and TC |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables reliable suppression of ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, and 5a transients in 12 V systems |

| 185 °C max junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources (e.g., engine ECUs, motor drivers) without thermal derating penalties |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream components during transient events |
| HE3 suffix compliance | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - ensures long-term solder joint integrity in vibration-prone environments |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|

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 (vs. MPG06), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive; suitable for commercial-grade consumer/industrial PCBs with space constraints | Select SMAJ16A only if AEC-Q101 is not required and board layout allows SMA footprint |
| TPSMF16A | Same VBR range and AEC-Q101 qualification, but higher PPPM (1000 W), larger SOD-123FL package, VF = 3.5 V at 25 A | Designed for higher-energy transients (e.g., ISO 16750-2); requires more PCB area and thermal relief | Choose TPSMF16A when protecting against severe load dump (≥100 V, 200 ms) where 400 W is insufficient |
Compared with SMAJ16A and TPSMF16A, the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 400 W surge capacity, and MPG06's robust lead-frame construction - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding automotive modules where footprint and qualification must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The TMPG06-16AHE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 17.8 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Rev. 17-Sep-2021) and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on the protected circuit during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is TMPG06-16AHE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Section "MECHANICAL DATA" and "Notes"). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating its use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS systems without additional component-level qualification.
What does the HE3 suffix indicate on TMPG06-16AHE3/53?
The HE3 suffix on TMPG06-16AHE3/53 denotes compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating on leads. It also confirms qualification to AEC-Q101 standards. This suffix is part of Vishay's standardized ordering code for automotive-grade versions of the MPG06 package, distinguishing it from commercial variants lacking whisker mitigation or automotive qualification.
Can TMPG06-16AHE3/53 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as stated in the Vishay datasheet "FEATURES" section. It contains a single PN junction optimized for reverse-biased avalanche clamping. For bidirectional transient suppression, a separate device such as the SMBJ16CA or an externally configured back-to-back pair would be required - the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 itself does not support symmetrical clamping in both directions.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for TMPG06-16AHE3/53?
Vishay does not publish RθJL for the TMPG06-16AHE3/53 in the available datasheet (88404). Instead, thermal performance is characterized via power derating curves (Fig. 5) and maximum junction temperature (TJ = +185 °C). The device is rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink - design guidance emphasizes lead temperature monitoring and layout-based thermal relief rather than discrete RθJL values.
