Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16HE3/53 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 maximum clamping voltage at 17.8 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16HE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-16HE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-16HE3/53 application, or TMPG06-16HE3/53 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
The TMPG06-16HE3/53 operates as a silicon avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range (15.2–16.8 V at 1 mA). Its low incremental resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients before downstream ICs or MOSFETs are damaged.
It is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 1.0 W on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and maintains stable clamping behavior across –65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 15.2 V / 16.8 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for predictable clamping onset |
| VWM | 13.6 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage rises above 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.5 V at 17.8 A (10/1000 µs) - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized lightning/surge waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in high-temperature locations such as engine control units and power converters |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands high-current inductive kick without failure |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against negative transients only; cathode marked by color band |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, RoHS-compliant, and qualified per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test. Dimensions: 2.54 mm lead spacing, 3.18 mm body height, 2.29–2.54 mm diameter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return line) in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Avalanche clamping node | Marked by color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or CAN signal) to clamp positive transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and HTRB |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b and IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity levels |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.4) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping, reducing stress on downstream MOSFETs and interface ICs |
| High-temperature stability (TJ = –65 to +185 °C) | Enables use in under-hood ECUs, battery management systems, and industrial motor drives without derating penalties |
| Solderability compliance | Meets J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102; withstands 275 °C solder dip for 10 s per JESD 22-B106 |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back placement with another unidirectional TVS to cover both positive and negative fault conditions. Use Value: 13.6 V VWM allows normal 5 V operation while clamping >15 V faults to 22.5 V, protecting USB PD controllers. |
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), different package (SMA vs. MPG06); slightly higher leakage at 150 °C (5 µA vs. 1 µA) | Less suitable for high-temperature automotive under-hood use due to reduced thermal margin and non-AEC-Q101 status | Select TMPG06-16HE3/53 when AEC-Q101 compliance and 185 °C TJ max. are required |
| 1.5KE16A | Higher VBR tolerance (15.2–17.6 V), larger DO-201 package, same PPPM, but no AEC-Q101 qualification and lower IFSM (30 A vs. 40 A) | Better suited for general-purpose industrial AC/DC supplies where space and automotive qualification are not constraints | Choose TMPG06-16HE3/53 for compact PCB layouts and automotive OEM BOMs requiring traceable qualification |
Compared with SMAJ16A and 1.5KE16A, the TMPG06-16HE3/53 delivers superior high-temperature reliability, tighter leakage control at elevated junction temperatures, and verified AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for automotive power domain protection where long-term field robustness is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-16HE3/53 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-16HE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 17.8 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the Vishay datasheet 88404 and ensures protected circuits remain within safe voltage limits during surge events. The TMPG06-16HE3/53 achieves this with low dynamic impedance, minimizing voltage overshoot beyond the clamping threshold.
Is the TMPG06-16HE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-16HE3/53 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021 (Document Number: 88404). It undergoes stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias to meet automotive electronic component reliability standards. The TMPG06-16HE3/53 is approved for use in engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power domains where qualification is mandatory.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TMPG06-16HE3/53?
Per Vishay's ordering nomenclature, the "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. The "/53" denotes tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels with 5500 units per reel. The TMPG06-16HE3/53 therefore meets lead-free assembly requirements and is suitable for automated SMT placement without whisker-related field failures.
How does the TMPG06-16HE3/53 handle high-temperature operation?
The TMPG06-16HE3/53 is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +185 °C and exhibits minimal parameter drift across –65 °C to +185 °C. Its breakdown voltage has a temperature coefficient of +0.086 %/°C, and power derating follows Figure 2 in the datasheet - retaining >50 % of 400 W pulse capability at TJ = 125 °C. This thermal resilience makes the TMPG06-16HE3/53 ideal for under-hood automotive and industrial converter applications.
Can the TMPG06-16HE3/53 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No - the TMPG06-16HE3/53 is unidirectional only, as stated in the Vishay datasheet features section. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). For bidirectional protection, two TMPG06-16HE3/53 devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ16CA) should be selected. Using a single TMPG06-16HE3/53 for negative transients will result in forward conduction and potential failure.
