Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3/54 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 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 TMPG06-16AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-16AHE3/54 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 (275 °C/10 s).
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 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01% duty cycle and non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 40 A, it sustains operation across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature with thermal derating per Figure 2 and Figure 5. The MPG06 package supports high-power dissipation with UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications

| VBR (min/max) | 15.2 V / 16.8 V - Ensures reliable avalanche initiation above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering. |
| VWM | 13.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage compatible with 12 V automotive systems and industrial 15 V rails. |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.5 V - Clamped voltage during 17.8 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling capability for standardized lightning and load-dump transients. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, supporting motor driver and relay coil suppression. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Protects only against positive transients on anode-to-cathode bias; cathode marked by color band. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with axial leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead spacing, 0.026" (0.66 mm) lead diameter, overall length ≥1.0" (25.4 mm). Cathode indicated by colored band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt-clamping TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp voltage before reaching downstream regulators and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits peak rail voltage to ≤22.5 V during 17.8 A surge, preventing brownout reset or permanent damage to 3.3 V/5 V logic supplies. |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of pressure, temperature, or position sensors exposed to ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<100 pF) unidirectional clamp on sensor signal lines (e.g., LIN, analog output) referenced to local ground. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <1 µA leakage at 13.6 V while clamping ±8 kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2 to <30 V. |
| MOSFET Gate Driver Protection | Telecom DC Power Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding high-side N-channel MOSFET gates driven by PWM controllers in motor drives and power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed between gate and source to absorb Miller-induced voltage spikes and shoot-through transients. Use Value: Sub-ns response and 22.5 V clamping prevent gate oxide breakdown (typical VGSS = ±20 V) during switching edge overshoot. |
Use Scenario: Guarding 48 V DC input stages of telecom base station power modules against lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level unidirectional TVS on DC input before bulk capacitance and upstream DC/DC converter.

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). | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial/industrial use. | Select SMAJ16A only if board area is critical and automotive qualification is not required. |
| TPSMF16A | Same VWM/VC, AEC-Q101 qualified, but SOD-123FL package with lower IFSM (30 A vs. 40 A) and reduced thermal dissipation. | Better suited for low-energy signal-line protection; insufficient for high-current load dump events. | Choose TPSMF16A for cost-sensitive, non-power-rail applications where 40 A surge immunity is unnecessary. |
Compared with SMAJ16A and TPSMF16A, TMPG06-16AHE3/54 delivers superior thermal robustness and automotive-grade validation in the larger MPG06 axial package-making it the preferred choice for high-energy, mission-critical 12 V system protection where sustained surge handling and under-hood reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-16AHE3/54 during a 10/1000 µs transient?
The TMPG06-16AHE3/54 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 reflects worst-case clamping performance at TA = 25 °C. Designers should verify margin against downstream component absolute maximum ratings using this VC value.
Is TMPG06-16AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-16AHE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, page 1, "FEATURES" section and page 2, footnote "(1) AEC-Q101 qualified"). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge robustness-making TMPG06-16AHE3/54 suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-16AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/54" specifies the packaging variant: 5500 pieces per 13-inch paper tape and reel. This matches the ordering information in the Vishay datasheet (page 3), where "TMPG06-10AHE3_A/C" uses the same HE3 suffix and C package code for 5500-unit reels.
Can TMPG06-16AHE3/54 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, TMPG06-16AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as stated in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive transients on the anode-to-cathode path and must be oriented with the cathode band toward ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as the SMBJ16CA or a back-to-back unidirectional pair would be required-not TMPG06-16AHE3/54.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for TMPG06-16AHE3/54?
Vishay does not publish RθJL for TMPG06-16AHE3/54 in Document Number 88404. Instead, thermal performance is characterized via the power derating curve (Figure 5), which shows 1.0 W dissipation at TL = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink. Designers should apply this curve directly for layout thermal design rather than estimating junction temperature from RθJL, as no validated RθJL value is provided for TMPG06-16AHE3/54.
