Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D 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 - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased lines, high-temperature junction stability up to +185 °C, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (15.2–16.8 V), it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to divert surge current away from downstream circuitry. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping at 22.5 V even under 17.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM).
Thermal design is enabled by a 185 °C max junction temperature, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink, and derating per Fig. 2 above 25 °C ambient. The MPG06 package supports soldering at 275 °C for 10 s and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 15.2 V / 16.8 V - defines minimum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins reliably at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 13.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.5 V - clamping voltage during 17.8 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on protected ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), relevant for fault-current path integrity |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables suppression of high-energy transients from relay coils, solenoids, and motor commutation without thermal runaway |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules requiring zero field failure risk |

| 185 °C max junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters) without derating penalties in sealed enclosures |
| HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test) | Eliminates tin whisker growth risk in long-life industrial and automotive applications with >15-year service life |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ16A | Same VWM (13.6 V) and VC (26.0 V), but lower PPPM (600 W vs. 400 W); SMB package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Higher clamping voltage (26.0 V vs. 22.5 V) reduces margin for 16 V-rated loads; better suited for less space-constrained industrial PCBs | Select SMBJ16A only if board layout allows SMB footprint and system requires higher single-pulse energy absorption |
| 1.5SMC16A | Identical electrical specs (VBR, VWM, VC, PPPM) but SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. MPG06's 3.18 × 2.54 mm); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and JESD 201 whisker testing; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Choose 1.5SMC16A for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where MPG06 size constraint is relaxed and qualification is not required |
Compared with SMBJ16A and 1.5SMC16A, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D delivers superior space efficiency (MPG06 footprint), automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q101 + whisker-tested leads), and tighter clamping (22.5 V), making it optimal for compact, mission-critical 12 V systems where layout area and long-term field stability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D has a specified breakdown voltage range of 15.2 V to 16.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing a ±5.3% tolerance about the nominal 16 V rating. This tight VBR window ensures consistent clamping onset across production lots and supports reliable coordination with upstream fuses and downstream IC absolute maximum ratings. The parameter is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and verified during 100% production testing.
Is TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet "Features" section. It conducts in reverse avalanche mode above VBR but blocks forward current beyond ~3.5 V VF. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ16CA must be selected. Using TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D in bidirectional configurations risks forward conduction and improper clamping.
What does the "HE3_A/D" suffix indicate in TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, while "A/D" indicates the revision code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature - confirming the device meets the 17-Sep-2021 revision (Document Number: 88404) with full AEC-Q101 qualification, UL 94 V-0 molding, and 275 °C solder dip rating. This suffix is critical for traceability and compliance validation.
How does TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D perform at elevated temperatures?
TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D maintains full functionality up to +185 °C junction temperature, with VBR exhibiting a +0.086 %/°C temperature coefficient. Derating curves (Fig. 2) show 400 W PPPM is sustained up to ~125 °C ambient; above that, peak pulse power declines linearly to ~200 W at 175 °C. This behavior enables deployment in engine bay and power converter applications without external thermal management.
Can TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D replace P6SMB16A in an existing design?
TMPG06-16AHE3_A/D is not a direct drop-in replacement for P6SMB16A due to package and thermal differences: MPG06 (3.18 × 2.54 mm) is significantly smaller than SMB (4.57 × 3.94 mm), and its 1.0 W PD rating assumes infinite heatsink conditions. While electrical specs align closely (VWM = 13.6 V, VC = 22.5 V), layout redesign and thermal validation are required. Aetrix recommends full requalification per AEC-Q101 if used in automotive systems.
