Product details
Overview
TMPG06-22HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for primary-side overvoltage clamping in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 19.8 V to 24.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 17.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 12.5 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling robust protection of MOSFETs and ICs against load dump and inductive switching transients in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-22HE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-22HE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-22HE3/54 application, or TMPG06-22HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its uni-directional polarity, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.092 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 31.9 V clamping voltage at 12.5 A, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TMPG06-22HE3/54 operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for fast clamping response (<1 ps typical) and low incremental resistance (≈1.7 Ω derived from ΔVC/ΔIPPM). Its unidirectional structure enables integration into DC power lines where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation while permitting surge current flow only during positive transients.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it supports high-energy transient suppression without thermal runaway under AEC-Q101 stress conditions. The device's 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and derating curve (fig. 5) define safe operating limits up to 75 °C lead temperature, aligning with under-hood automotive thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 19.8 V / 24.2 V - defines minimum clamping threshold and maximum guaranteed breakdown spread at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 17.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA; sets usable DC rail margin |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient energy handling capability with 10/1000 μs waveform; validates protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a |
| IPPM | 12.5 A - peak current supported at VC = 31.9 V; determines minimum series impedance required for compliance |
| VC | 31.9 V - maximum clamped voltage at IPPM; ensures downstream ICs with 36 V absolute max rating remain within safe margin |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in high-temperature zones (e.g., near power converters or exhaust manifolds) |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - confirms reliability validation per automotive-grade stress testing (HTOL, TCT, HTRB, etc.) |

| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V battery rail); conducts avalanche current during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Uni-directional polarity | Enables DC rail protection without reverse leakage interference; eliminates need for series blocking diode in grounded-line configurations |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Meets ISO 16750-2 and SAE J1113-11 surge immunity requirements for automotive power nets |

| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates long-term reliability under automotive thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock conditions |
| Low 3.5 V VF @ 25 A | Minimizes forward conduction loss during high-current surge events, reducing localized heating at cathode bond wire |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Power Input Stage |

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-E3/5A | Same VWM (17.8 V) and VC (35.5 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher leakage (5 μA vs. 1 μA), SMA package | Less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to lower TJ max. (150 °C vs. 185 °C) | Select when board space allows SMA footprint and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory |
| TPSMF22A | Identical VBR, VWM, and VC, but SOD-123FL package, 150 °C TJ max., no AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for automotive; limited to commercial/industrial environments with <125 °C ambient | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5A and TPSMF22A, the TMPG06-22HE3/54 provides superior high-temperature resilience (185 °C), lower leakage, and formal AEC-Q101 validation - making it the only option qualified for direct placement on automotive power distribution boards without derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-22HE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-22HE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 31.9 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.5 A, measured using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay document 88404 and ensures downstream components with 36 V absolute maximum ratings remain safely within operational limits during transient events. The TMPG06-22HE3/54 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance and stable thermal behavior up to 185 °C junction temperature.
Is the TMPG06-22HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the TMPG06-22HE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Mechanical Data and Primary Characteristics sections of Vishay document 88404. It has undergone standardized stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TCT), and highly accelerated stress testing (HAST) to validate reliability in automotive environments. The TMPG06-22HE3/54 is designed for under-hood use in ECUs, BCMs, and ADAS power systems where AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory for production release.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-22HE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "/54" indicates packaging in 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel with a base quantity of 5500 units, per Vishay's Ordering Information table. This packaging format ensures automated placement compatibility and traceable lot control for high-volume manufacturing. The TMPG06-22HE3/54 uses this exact configuration for consistent supply chain execution.
How does the temperature coefficient of VBR affect the TMPG06-22HE3/54's performance in high-ambient environments?
The TMPG06-22HE3/54 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.092 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. At 150 °C junction temperature, VBR rises by ≈11.5 % above its 25 °C value - shifting from 19.8–24.2 V to approximately 22.1–27.0 V. This controlled drift ensures clamping remains effective across the full -65 °C to +185 °C operating range without premature triggering or loss of protection margin. The TMPG06-22HE3/54 leverages this stable tempco for reliable operation in engine bay and industrial control cabinet deployments.
Can the TMPG06-22HE3/54 replace the TMPG06-22AHE3/54 in an existing design?
No - the TMPG06-22HE3/54 and TMPG06-22AHE3/54 are distinct variants with different electrical specifications. The TMPG06-22AHE3/54 has a tighter VBR range (20.9–23.1 V vs. 19.8–24.2 V), higher VWM (18.8 V vs. 17.8 V), and lower VC (30.6 V vs. 31.9 V). Substituting them requires verification of system-level clamping margin, leakage current impact, and surge current sharing. The TMPG06-22HE3/54 is not a drop-in replacement for TMPG06-22AHE3/54; both parts must be selected based on their individual validated parameters in the final application.
