Product details
Overview
TMPG06-20AHE3_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 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/D datasheet, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D 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, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, enabling stable clamping under repetitive transients induced by inductive load switching. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure minimal overshoot during ESD and lightning surge events.
Designed for unidirectional operation only, it features a cathode band marking, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. Thermal derating follows a defined curve up to TJ = 185 °C, supporting high-temperature engine control unit (ECU) and ADAS sensor interface deployments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 19.0–21.0 V at 1.0 mA - defines minimum clamping threshold before avalanche conduction begins |
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 17.0 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage without significant leakage; sets operating margin below VBR |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform) - sustains high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a without failure |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 27.7 V at 14.4 A IPPM - actual voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge; critical for downstream voltage tolerance |
| Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports short-duration fault currents in power supply input stages |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial motor drives |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JEDEC standards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ20A | Same 20 V nominal breakdown, but SMA package (smaller footprint, lower 400 W rating at 25 °C only) | Limited to ambient-temperature consumer applications; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TPSMA6L20A | 20 V breakdown, 400 W rating, AEC-Q101 qualified, but SOD-123FL package with lower thermal mass | Less effective in high-temperature environments due to reduced junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Prefer for compact surface-mount designs where 185 °C junction capability is not required |
Compared with SMAJ20A and TPSMA6L20A, the TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D provides superior high-temperature stability (185 °C TJ max), axial-leaded mechanical robustness for through-hole mounting, and verified performance under repetitive surge duty cycles - making it the preferred choice for under-hood automotive and industrial power systems demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D?
The TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 19.0 V to 21.0 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and supports reliable clamping behavior in 12 V and 24 V automotive and industrial systems where TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D is deployed.
Is TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its MPG06 package, matte tin plating, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance further validate its suitability for automotive production environments where TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D is specified.
What does the "HE3_A/D" suffix indicate in TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, plus JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "_A/D" indicates revision level A for the base part and D for the tape-and-reel packaging configuration - both confirmed in Vishay's official ordering information for TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D.
How does TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D compare to standard SMAJ20A in surge handling?
TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D matches SMAJ20A's 400 W peak pulse power rating but exceeds it in thermal capability: TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D maintains full rating up to 185 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified, whereas SMAJ20A is rated only to 150 °C and lacks automotive qualification - a critical distinction when selecting TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D for mission-critical systems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D under surge conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D is 27.7 V at 14.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standardized test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case transient events - a key parameter used in system-level overvoltage margin analysis for TMPG06-20AHE3_A/D deployments.
