Product details
Overview
TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B 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), 30.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 13.1 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity alignment with DC-biased rails, thermal stability up to +185 °C junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations per JESD 201 Class 2.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (20.9–23.1 V), it avalanches into low-impedance conduction, limiting transient energy across protected nodes. Its 0.092 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable threshold drift across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
Designed for high-reliability environments, the device sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and delivers stable clamping with low incremental resistance - critical for protecting sensitive gate drivers and CAN/LIN bus receivers subjected to load-dump or ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable overvoltage detection without false triggering |
| VWM | 18.8 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; must exceed system nominal rail (e.g., 12 V automotive) with margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 13.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability; supports repeated transients under 0.01 % duty cycle |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive locations and high-ambient industrial enclosures |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands single 8.3 ms inrush or fault currents without degradation |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects DC-coupled lines where reverse conduction is not required |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with UL 94 V-0 rating; matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction terminal | Connected to protected line; conducts transient current to anode when VREV > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JEDEC standards |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing risk of latch-up in protected ICs |
| Junction temperature range: -65 °C to +185 °C | Supports deployment in extreme environments such as engine control units and industrial motor drives |
| HE3 suffix: JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test compliant | Eliminates tin whisker growth risk in long-life, high-reliability assemblies |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt TVS placed between power rail and ground to clamp surges before they reach LDOs or microcontrollers. Use Value: Withstands 400 W peak pulses and maintains clamping at ≤30.6 V, preventing damage to 3.3 V/5 V logic supplies downstream. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) connected to ADC inputs in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional clamp on signal line to absorb ESD and switching noise without distorting millivolt-level signals. Use Value: 1.0 µA max leakage at 18.8 V ensures minimal offset error; fast response preserves signal integrity during sub-ns transients. |
| MOSFET Gate Driver Protection | Telecom DC Power Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding high-side N-channel MOSFET gates from Miller-induced voltage spikes during hard-switching in DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp placed between gate and source to limit VGS excursion beyond rated maximum. Use Value: 30.6 V clamping voltage aligns with common 20–30 V gate oxide ratings, preventing irreversible gate oxide rupture. |
Use Scenario: Front-end surge suppression on 48 V telecom power feeds exposed to lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt protector on input bulk capacitor rail, coordinated with upstream MOVs and fuses. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating and 13.1 A IPPM enable compliance with Level 3 (2 kV/1 kA) surge immunity requirements. |
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) and VC (30.6 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W and smaller SMA package (lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients due to reduced thermal dissipation; unsuitable for sustained automotive load dump | Select SMAJ22A only for space-constrained consumer electronics with <100 W average surge exposure |
| TPSMD22A | Identical electrical specs but SMD package (TO-277); no axial leads; 100 % automated placement compatible | Requires PCB redesign; eliminates through-hole assembly but increases layout sensitivity to trace inductance | Choose TPSMD22A for high-volume production where pick-and-place efficiency outweighs manual rework flexibility |
Compared with SMAJ22A and TPSMD22A, the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B offers superior thermal robustness via its axial MPG06 package and AEC-Q101 validation - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical automotive and industrial systems requiring proven field reliability under repetitive surge stress.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) 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 Figure 3 in the Vishay datasheet 88404 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream IC absolute maximum ratings.
Is the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, robust surge handling (400 W, 10/1000 µs), and HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker tested) meet stringent requirements for engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power domains - confirmed in Vishay document 88404 Revision 17-Sep-2021.
What does the "HE3_A/B" suffix indicate in TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, while "A/B" specifies the revision code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. The "A/B" does not indicate dual variants - it reflects manufacturing lot traceability and revision control, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across both codes for the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B part number.
How does the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B is unidirectional only, meaning it clamps only reverse-voltage transients relative to its cathode-anode orientation - ideal for DC-biased rails like 12 V automotive systems. Bidirectional variants (e.g., TMPG06-22AE3) would conduct in both polarities, increasing leakage and complicating biasing; this distinction is clearly stated in the Vishay datasheet section "FEATURES" and "Polarity".
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-22AHE3_A/B has a specified operating junction temperature range of -65 °C to +185 °C, with derating applied above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the Vishay datasheet 88404. This extended range enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures where conventional TVS devices may fail prematurely.
