Product details
Overview
TMPG06-20HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 19.0–21.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 27.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 14.4 A peak pulse current-designed to protect automotive sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-20HE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-20HE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-20HE3/54 application, or TMPG06-20HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.090 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and 1.0 μA reverse leakage at 17.0 V stand-off voltage under automotive thermal stress conditions.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping-type overvoltage protection device with fast avalanche response (<1 ns), low incremental resistance, and stable performance across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range. Its unidirectional polarity and 17.0 V maximum working voltage (VWM) make it suitable for DC-biased signal and power rail protection where reverse conduction must be blocked.
The device uses passivated silicon junction technology encapsulated in UL 94 V-0 epoxy, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and RoHS compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 19.0 V / 21.0 V - defines minimum clamping onset threshold and maximum guaranteed breakdown spread at 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 17.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 27.7 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 14.4 A 10/1000 μs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 μs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting robustness against repetitive load dump events |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating penalties up to this junction temperature |
| Temp. Coeff. of VBR | +0.090 %/°C - ensures predictable VBR drift over temperature, critical for precision clamping in wide-temperature systems |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS connected between reset line and ground, with cathode tied to VCC. Use Value: Provides sub-1 ns response to ±8 kV contact ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), preventing spurious resets without loading the weak pull-up network. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ20A | Same VWM (17.0 V) and VC (32.4 V), but lower PPPM (600 W vs. 400 W), SMC package (larger footprint) | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 3.3 V logic protection; SMC requires more PCB area than MPG06 | Select SMBJ20A only if higher surge rating is required and board space allows larger package |
| 1.5KE20A | Same VBR range (19.0–21.0 V), but DO-201 package, higher VC (34.6 V), and slower response due to higher junction capacitance | Less effective for high-speed data lines; not AEC-Q101 qualified, unsuitable for automotive use | Choose 1.5KE20A only for cost-sensitive industrial non-automotive applications where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with SMBJ20A and 1.5KE20A, TMPG06-20HE3/54 delivers tighter VC (27.7 V), smaller axial MPG06 footprint, and automotive-grade reliability-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and safety-critical signal-line protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-20HE3/54 under standard surge conditions?
The TMPG06-20HE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V when subjected to its rated 14.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and guarantees that protected circuits experience no more than 27.7 V during transient events. The clamping performance remains stable across temperature due to its +0.090 %/°C VBR coefficient, and the TMPG06-20HE3/54 maintains this specification under AEC-Q101 stress conditions.
Is TMPG06-20HE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-20HE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021). It undergoes rigorous testing for temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD robustness per JEDEC standards. The HE3 suffix further indicates compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and RoHS requirements-making TMPG06-20HE3/54 suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications where reliability is mission-critical.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix in TMPG06-20HE3/54 indicate?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's standard RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/54" refers to the specific tape-and-reel packaging option: 5500 units per 13-inch diameter reel, using paper tape. This packaging format ensures automated placement compatibility and traceable lot control-critical for high-volume automotive and industrial manufacturing where TMPG06-20HE3/54 is deployed.
How does TMPG06-20HE3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in protection design?
TMPG06-20HE3/54 is unidirectional only, meaning it blocks reverse voltage up to 17.0 V (VWM) and clamps positive transients above 19.0 V (VBR). Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot suppress negative-going surges on AC or floating lines. However, its lower leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM) and tighter VC make it preferable for DC-biased applications like automotive sensor outputs or gate drivers-where TMPG06-20HE3/54 provides superior precision clamping without unnecessary complexity.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TMPG06-20HE3/54 above 25 °C ambient?
TMPG06-20HE3/54 follows a linear derating curve for peak pulse power (PPPM) starting at 25 °C, with full 400 W capability at TJ ≤ 25 °C and 0 % derating at TJ = 175 °C (per Fig. 2 in datasheet 88404). At TJ = 125 °C, PPPM is reduced to approximately 65 % of rated value (~260 W). This behavior is critical when deploying TMPG06-20HE3/54 near heat sources; proper thermal layout ensures junction temperature stays within -65 °C to +185 °C limits.
