Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V 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 nominal breakdown voltage (VBR = 15.2–16.8 V), 13.6 V maximum working voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.5 V clamping voltage at 17.8 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V datasheet, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V pinout, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V application, or TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased lines, high-temperature operation up to +185 °C junction, 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, it avalanches rapidly (<1 ps response) to divert surge current away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its low incremental resistance (typ. <0.5 Ω) ensures stable clamping during 400 W pulses, while the MPG06 package supports high thermal dissipation under repetitive 0.01% duty cycle conditions.
Designed for AEC-Q101 compliance, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V sustains operation from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, with derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2. The device's 1.0 W steady-state power rating (at TL = 75 °C) and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine) support protection of high-energy inductive switch nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 15.2 V / 16.8 V - Ensures reliable avalanche initiation above 13.6 V operating rail without false triggering |
| VWM | 13.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; matches 12 V automotive systems |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.5 V - Clamped voltage at 17.8 A peak pulse; limits protected circuit stress to safe margin below 24 V logic thresholds |
| PPPM | 400 W - Sustains 10/1000 µs surge energy (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a) without degradation |
| IFSM | 40 A - Withstands 8.3 ms inductive turn-off surges common in motor drivers and solenoid controls |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables placement near hot components (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC/DC converters) without thermal derating loss |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Suitable for DC-biased lines only; cathode marked by band; not for AC or bipolar applications |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction or clamping | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD-HBM/MM |

| High TJ max. (+185 °C) | Permits direct mounting on engine control units (ECUs), battery management systems (BMS), and under-hood power modules |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V supply inputs of engine control units (ECUs) against load dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt TVS diode placed between battery rail and local ground, clamping voltage spikes within 1 ns. Use Value: Limits rail voltage to ≤22.5 V during 100 V/100 ms load dump events, preventing damage to 24 V-rated power management ICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loop) of pressure sensors in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected across signal and return, suppressing ESD and switching noise from nearby relays. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <1 µA leakage at 13.6 V, avoiding offset errors in precision 16-bit DAC outputs. |
| Motor Drive Gate Driver Protection | Telecom DC Power Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding high-side gate driver ICs from inductive kickback during MOSFET turn-off in BLDC motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed between gate driver output and source terminal, clamping negative-going transients. Use Value: Withstands 40 A surge (8.3 ms) and clamps to 22.5 V, preserving gate oxide integrity of 30 V-rated SiC MOSFET drivers. |
Use Scenario: Guarding -48 V DC input of telecom base station power supplies against lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS configured with cathode to -48 V rail and anode to chassis ground. Use Value: Delivers 400 W clamping at -59.3 V (for TMPG06-43A variant), but TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V provides optimized margin for -48 V systems with tighter VC. |
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 vs. SMAJ16A's 400 W - identical rating), smaller SMA package (vs. MPG06), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; limited to commercial/industrial PCBs with lower thermal mass | Select SMAJ16A only if AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and board space constraints favor SMA footprint |
| TPSMF16A | Same VWM (13.6 V), slightly higher VC (23.2 V), identical AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123FL package (smaller, lower profile), 1.0 W PD | Better suited for space-constrained automotive modules (e.g., ADAS cameras), but lower thermal mass reduces sustained surge handling | Choose TPSMF16A when PCB real estate is critical and surge duty cycle remains <0.01%; verify layout thermal relief for 400 W pulses |
Compared with SMAJ16A and TPSMF16A, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V delivers identical clamping performance with superior thermal robustness via its larger MPG06 case and proven AEC-Q101 validation for high-temperature, high-reliability automotive deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V?
The TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C and operates from –65 °C to +185 °C. This rating enables deployment in under-hood automotive modules and high-temperature industrial enclosures where standard TVS diodes would thermally derate or fail. The device maintains full 400 W pulse capability up to +125 °C ambient when properly mounted on copper pour.
Is TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V uses matte tin-plated leads qualified to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability, and withstands solder dip at 275 °C for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106. Its MPG06 package is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C), and the HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance-critical for automotive reliability.
Does TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), and human-body-model ESD (HBM). This certification validates its suitability for safety-critical automotive subsystems such as body control modules and powertrain controllers.
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V is 22.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 17.8 A, measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures protected circuits remain below 24 V thresholds during surge events, preserving functionality of 16 V–24 V tolerant ICs commonly used in automotive and industrial designs.
Can TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts in reverse avalanche mode above VBR but blocks forward current beyond ~3.5 V. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ16CA) or back-to-back unidirectional pair must be used-TMPG06-16AHE3_A/V alone cannot clamp positive- and negative-going transients.
