Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B 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 delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at 22.5 V under 17.8 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - enabling use in engine control units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 13.6 V stand-off voltage, low 0.086 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Its unidirectional polarity features a cathode band marking and supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 %.
The device exhibits low incremental resistance and fast response time, enabling effective clamping of transients induced by inductive load switching or ESD events. It is characterized with 1.0 mA test current for breakdown voltage and specified for operation up to 185 °C maximum junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 13.6 V - blocks normal operating voltage while remaining inactive below clamping threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 15.2–16.8 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise turn-on range for predictable clamping onset |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 22.5 V at 17.8 A IPPM - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge events |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - supports under-hood and industrial environments without derating loss |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements including temperature cycling and HTRB |
| Package | MPG06 - axial-leaded, RoHS-compliant, UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy housing with 2.54 mm lead spacing |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 is an axial-leaded package with cathode identified by a color band on one end. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002; package dimensions: 2.54 mm (0.100") lead spacing, 2.29 mm (0.090") body diameter, 25.4 mm (1.0") minimum lead length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit point during reverse-biased clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or sensor input) to shunt surge energy to ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature stability | Junction max. 185 °C enables placement near heat sources without performance drift or reliability loss |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling per JEDEC standards |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.42 - ensures minimal overvoltage margin between breakdown and clamping, improving system safety margin |
| Solder dip tolerance | 275 °C for 10 s - withstands standard wave-soldering profiles without parametric shift or delamination |
| Whisker-resistant plating | HE3 suffix meets JESD 201 Class 2 - eliminates tin whisker risk in long-life sealed assemblies |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ16A | DO-214AA package; 16 V VWM, 25.6 V VC at 15.6 A; same 400 W PPPM rating | Surface-mount footprint - requires PCB redesign; lower thermal mass limits sustained surge repetition | Select when space-constrained layouts preclude axial-leaded devices and thermal cycling is moderate |
| P6KE16A | DO-15 package; 16 V VWM, 25.6 V VC at 15.6 A; 600 W PPPM but larger footprint and higher leakage | Higher peak power but slower response; not AEC-Q101 qualified - unsuitable for automotive production | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ16A and P6KE16A, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B offers AEC-Q101 compliance, axial-leaded ease of through-hole rework, and tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %), making it optimal for production automotive modules requiring traceable reliability and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B under rated surge conditions?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 17.8 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during transient events.
Is TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 certification?
Yes, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021). The HE3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - both required for automotive production use.
What does the "HE3_A/B" suffix indicate in TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B?
The "HE3" suffix identifies the RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified version with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-resistant plating; "A/B" denotes the revision code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature, indicating manufacturing batch and process revision - both versions share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
How does the MPG06 package of TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B compare to DO-15 or SMB packages in thermal performance?
The MPG06 package provides superior thermal dissipation versus DO-15 due to longer leads and optimized epoxy molding, enabling higher sustained power handling. Unlike surface-mount SMB packages, MPG06's axial construction allows direct heatsinking via lead bending and supports wave-soldering up to 275 °C - critical for high-volume automotive assembly.
Can TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/B is unidirectional only, as stated in the datasheet's FEATURES section. It conducts in forward bias and clamps in reverse bias; for bidirectional protection, two devices must be connected in series opposing configuration - though this increases board area and cost versus a dedicated bidirectional TVS.
