Use Scenario: Overvoltage hardening of -48 V DC distribution in telecom base station power shelves and remote radio units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on feed lines to protect PMICs and FPGA configuration circuitry from lightning-induced surges. Use Value: 13.6 V stand-off ensures no conduction during normal -48 V operation; 22.5 V clamping prevents latch-up in sensitive logic despite negative rail polarity. |
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 16 V nominal breakdown but SMA package (surface-mount); lower 400 W rating tested at 10/1000 µs; 23.5 V clamping at 17.1 A | Requires PCB redesign for SMD layout; better suited for space-constrained consumer boards vs. axial-leaded automotive harness interfaces | Select SMAJ16A only when board-level integration and automated assembly outweigh lead-forming and through-hole mounting needs |
| P6SMB16A | Same 16 V breakdown and MPG06-compatible DO-214AA package; identical 400 W rating; slightly higher 23.0 V clamping at 17.4 A | Offers same mechanical mounting as TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C but with tighter VBR tolerance (10% vs. 11%) and lower leakage at 150 °C | Choose P6SMB16A where extended high-temperature leakage stability (>100 μA at 150 °C) is prioritized over AEC-Q101 qualification |
Compared with SMAJ16A and P6SMB16A, the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, axial-leaded MPG06 packaging for wire-harness integration, and optimized clamping performance (22.5 V) for 12 V automotive systems - making it the preferred choice where automotive compliance and mechanical interface are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 17.8 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits.
Is the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation required for automotive under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics. Its -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature range and 275 °C solder dip rating further confirm its suitability for automotive power distribution and control module designs.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3_A/C" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction (HE3), AEC-Q101 qualification, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance (A), packaged in 13-inch paper tape and reel (C). The "A" revision code confirms compliance with the latest material and process specifications per Vishay's internal revision control, while "C" specifies the preferred delivery mode of 5500 units per reel.
How does the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C is unidirectional, making it ideal for protecting positive DC rails like 12 V automotive systems where reverse-voltage blocking is required. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, it exhibits negligible leakage above its 13.6 V stand-off voltage and avoids false triggering on normal negative excursions - a key advantage in single-polarity power domains where bidirectional devices would conduct unnecessarily.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/C supports soldering at up to 275 °C for 10 seconds, per JESD 22-B106. This rating applies to both wave and selective soldering processes and ensures the integrity of the molded epoxy case and tin-plated leads remains intact. Reflow profiles must stay within this limit to avoid delamination or lead finish degradation that could compromise long-term reliability.
