Product details
Overview
TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C 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 delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at 27.7 V under 14.4 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - qualified to AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include its 19.0–21.0 V breakdown range, 17.0 V stand-off voltage, low 3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A, AEC-Q101 qualification, and MPG06 surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0. Its clamping behavior is defined by low incremental resistance and fast response time, enabling effective suppression of inductive switching transients and ESD events on 12 V and 24 V systems.
It is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle and supports surge currents up to 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Thermal derating follows a defined curve above 25 °C ambient, with maximum power dissipation of 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure in automotive load-dump or inductive kick scenarios |
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 19.0–21.0 V at 1.0 mA - defines precise voltage threshold where clamping initiates |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 17.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA at 25 °C |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 27.7 V at 14.4 A IPPM - limits downstream circuit voltage during worst-case surge |
| Peak Forward Surge Current IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands high-current inrush or fault conditions without bond-wire failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - enables operation in extreme under-hood or industrial environments |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - surface-mount molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band; RoHS-compliant and whisker-tested (JESD 201 Class 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Low incremental resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during high di/dt events, improving clamping accuracy and energy handling |
| Solderability compliance | Matte tin leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 - ensures reliable reflow and wave soldering |
| High-temperature stability | Rated to +185 °C TJ with defined derating - supports placement near power components or in engine compartments |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Line 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ20AHE3_A/H | Same VWM (17.0 V) and VC (27.7 V), but SMB package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Better suited for manual assembly or higher board-level thermal dissipation needs | Select when PCB layout allows larger 4.5 × 3.9 mm footprint and requires marginally higher IPPM (15.2 A vs. 14.4 A) |
| SMCJ20AHE3_A/H | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VBR range, but SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 mm) and higher VF (4.5 V) | Targeted at severe industrial surge environments (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4) | Choose for applications demanding >1 kW surge capability - not drop-in due to size and thermal profile mismatch |
Compared with SMBJ20AHE3_A/H and SMCJ20AHE3_A/H, the TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C offers the smallest footprint (MPG06: 3.18 × 2.54 mm) and lowest thermal resistance among 20 V-class TVS diodes in Vishay's AEC-Q101 portfolio - optimizing space-constrained automotive modules without sacrificing clamping precision or reliability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V when subjected to its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 14.4 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 protected circuits during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet under FEATURES. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (i.e., reverse-biased operation), and does not suppress negative excursions. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or a dedicated bidirectional part such as the SMBJ20CAHE3_A/H must be used - TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C cannot fulfill that function.
What is the lead finish and soldering compatibility of TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for reliable solderability. It supports solder dip up to 275 °C for 10 seconds (per JESD 22-B106) and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. These specifications ensure compatibility with standard reflow profiles and long-term interconnect integrity in automotive and industrial assemblies.
Does TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, page 1). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD - validating its suitability for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-20AHE3_A/C has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C, with storage temperature extending from -65 °C to +185 °C. This rating is defined in the MAXIMUM RATINGS table (page 1) and enables deployment in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments or industrial motor drives - provided thermal design accounts for power derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2.
