Product details
Overview
TMPG06-16HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for clamping inductive-switching transients and ESD events on power/signal lines. It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 17.8 A peak pulse current, and clamps at 22.5 V while maintaining 13.6 V stand-off voltage and <1 µA leakage at 25 °C - deployed in automotive sensor signal protection and industrial power rail conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-16HE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-16HE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-16HE3/54 application, or TMPG06-16HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.086 %/°C VBR tempco, and 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A - critical for high-reliability 12 V/24 V system surge suppression.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its 15.2–16.8 V breakdown range. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure rapid energy diversion during fast transients such as load dump or ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), it supports robust front-end protection in automotive ECUs and industrial PLC I/O modules. The MPG06 package enables surface-mount assembly with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains single high-energy transients without failure in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 15.2–16.8 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset threshold for 13.6 V nominal systems |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 22.5 V at 17.8 A - limits maximum voltage seen by downstream ICs during surge events |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 13.6 V - ensures no conduction during normal 12 V system operation with margin |
| Max Junction Temperature | 185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings |
| Leakage Current ID | <1 µA at 13.6 V, 25 °C - avoids parasitic loading on low-power sensor bias networks |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker tested.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during clamping |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased input / protected line connection | Connected to line being protected (e.g., CAN_H, LIN, 12 V supply); conducts when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Temp Stability | 185 °C TJMAX and 0.086 %/°C VBR tempco - maintains clamping accuracy across under-hood thermal swings |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Validated per stress test requirements for automotive electronics - eliminates need for additional qualification effort |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.39 - minimizes overvoltage exposure compared to competing TVS devices in same power class |
| Solderability & Reliability | Matte tin leads compliant with J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102; 275 °C solder dip rated for 10 s - compatible with standard reflow and wave processes |
Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Power Rail Clamping |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure/temperature sensors in engine control units exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulse 1 and pulse 2b. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected clamping element that shunts transient energy away from precision ADC inputs and op-amp buffers. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or parametric shift in sensor signal conditioning ICs by limiting voltage to ≤22.5 V during 100 V/50 ms transients. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 12 V DC input rails of programmable logic controllers against inductive kickback from solenoid drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-mode protector that remains non-conductive below 13.6 V but clamps within nanoseconds when voltage exceeds 15.2 V. Use Value: Enables use of cost-effective 16 V-rated capacitors and regulators without derating, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Telecom Line Interface | Consumer Device ESD Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceiver pins in base station remote units subjected to lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge arrestor placed before common-mode choke and transceiver, absorbing up to 400 W of differential-mode energy. Use Value: Meets ITU-T K.21 basic protection level with single-device solution, eliminating need for multi-stage discrete protection networks. |
Use Scenario: Guarding USB data lines and power inputs of smart home hubs against human-body-model (HBM) ESD events during handling and plugging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<50 pF) unidirectional clamp that activates before internal IC protection fails. Use Value: Passes IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact discharge without degradation, preserving signal integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 links. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A | Same 16 V VWM, but 400 W rating at 1.5x larger SMA package; higher thermal resistance (60 °C/W vs. 45 °C/W) | Limited to PCBs with ≥1.5 mm copper pour; less suitable for dense automotive modules | Select when existing layout uses SMA footprint and thermal mass permits higher junction rise |
| SMCJ16A | Higher 1500 W rating, but 2.5x larger SMC package; 16.7 V VBR min - looser tolerance than TMPG06-16HE3/54's 15.2–16.8 V range | Used where multi-pulse robustness is prioritized over space and precision clamping | Prefer for industrial motor drives with repetitive switching noise, not for automotive signal-line protection |
Compared with SMAJ16A and SMCJ16A, TMPG06-16HE3/54 offers tighter VBR tolerance, lower thermal resistance in compact MPG06 form factor, and AEC-Q101 validation - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-precision automotive and industrial signal protection where consistent clamping behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-16HE3/54?
TMPG06-16HE3/54 has a maximum junction temperature of +185 °C and operates reliably from –65 °C to +185 °C. This wide range supports under-hood automotive placement and high-ambient industrial control cabinets. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet, and thermal design must account for 45 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance in typical mounting conditions.
Is TMPG06-16HE3/54 suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TMPG06-16HE3/54 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). For bidirectional protection - such as AC lines or differential buses like RS-485 - a separate symmetric TVS array or back-to-back configuration is required; TMPG06-16HE3/54 alone does not provide negative-voltage clamping.
How does the clamping voltage of TMPG06-16HE3/54 compare to its breakdown voltage?
TMPG06-16HE3/54 has a breakdown voltage range of 15.2–16.8 V at 1 mA and clamps at 22.5 V when subjected to its rated 17.8 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs). This 6.7 V overhead - known as clamping ratio - reflects its low dynamic impedance and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage even during full-rated surge events.
Does TMPG06-16HE3/54 meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TMPG06-16HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, verified per the full stress test suite including HTGB, H3TRB, TC, AC, and ESD. The HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and RoHS requirements - making TMPG06-16HE3/54 appropriate for safety-critical automotive subsystems without additional qualification effort.
What is the lead finish and soldering compatibility of TMPG06-16HE3/54?
TMPG06-16HE3/54 features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability. It withstands solder dip at 275 °C for up to 10 seconds and supports standard reflow profiles (peak ≤260 °C). The MPG06 package is compatible with Type III solder paste and automated placement equipment used in high-volume automotive electronics manufacturing.
