Product details
Overview
TMPG06-22AHE3/73 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 20.9–23.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤30.6 V at rated surge - deployed on engine control units, sensor interfaces, and DC-DC converter inputs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-22AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-22AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-22AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-22AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.092 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds VWM (18.8 V) and entering avalanche breakdown near VBR (20.9–23.1 V). Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure fast suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle, it sustains repetitive surges without degradation when derated above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2. The device's 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) support high-energy transient handling in constrained thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - defines precise avalanche turn-on threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| IPPM (10/1000 µs) | 13.1 A - peak surge current it safely clamps without failure under standard lightning/surge test waveform |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤30.6 V - clamped voltage during full-rated surge, determining maximum stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capacity, enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive placement |
| Temperature coefficient of VBR | 0.092 %/°C - low drift ensures stable clamping across wide ambient ranges |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased protection node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V supply or CAN-H); color band identifies this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 and SAE J1113-11 surge immunity requirements for 12 V systems |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during transient events, reducing risk to downstream MOSFETs or MCUs |
| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables direct mounting on hot engine control modules without thermal derating penalties |
| HE3 suffix compliance | Meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, ensuring long-term solder joint integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Same VWM (18.8 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (35.5 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-power consumer/industrial boards; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when space-constrained layout prioritizes size over automotive qualification and thermal robustness |
| TPSMA6L22A | Identical VWM/VBR, but lower IPPM (12.3 A), higher VC (35.5 V), same SMA package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower surge margin; suitable only where transients are less severe (e.g., infotainment vs. powertrain) | Choose if cost sensitivity outweighs need for full 13.1 A surge headroom and lowest possible clamping voltage |
Compared with SMAJ22A and TPSMA6L22A, TMPG06-22AHE3/73 delivers superior thermal performance via MPG06 package, tighter VC (30.6 V vs. ≥35.5 V), and proven AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the preferred choice for under-hood and safety-critical 12 V system protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-22AHE3/73 under full-rated surge conditions?
The TMPG06-22AHE3/73 clamps to a maximum of 30.6 V when subjected to its rated 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components in the TMPG06-22AHE3/73 protection circuit.
Is TMPG06-22AHE3/73 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TMPG06-22AHE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and HE3 whisker-resistant plating make TMPG06-22AHE3/73 suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications per automotive OEM requirements.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-22AHE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "/73" indicates tape-and-reel packaging in 5500-unit reels on 13-inch diameter cores - a standard logistics code used by Vishay for automated SMT assembly of TMPG06-22AHE3/73.
How does TMPG06-22AHE3/73 differ from the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C variant?
TMPG06-22AHE3/73 specifies the same electrical and mechanical characteristics as TMPG06-22AHE3_A/C but uses a different reel packaging configuration: "/73" denotes 5500 units per 13″ reel, whereas "_A/C" refers to a revision-coded base part number format. Both share identical MPG06 package, VBR, VC, and AEC-Q101 status - TMPG06-22AHE3/73 is functionally interchangeable.
Can TMPG06-22AHE3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, TMPG06-22AHE3/73 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It conducts forward current from anode to cathode and clamps reverse transients above VBR. For bidirectional protection, two TMPG06-22AHE3/73 devices must be connected in series opposition - but this is not recommended due to mismatched VBR and increased board area versus purpose-built bidirectional TVS diodes.
