Overview
TMPG06-24AHE3/100 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 22.8 V to 25.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 20.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at 12.0 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 datasheet, TMPG06-24AHE3/100 pinout, TMPG06-24AHE3/100 application, or TMPG06-24AHE3/100 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating up to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to shunt surge current away from sensitive components. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure minimal overshoot during ESD or inductive switching events.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 1.0 W on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C, and maintains stable clamping behavior across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature range - critical for under-hood automotive environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass). | Less effective clamping margin in 24 V systems; suited for space-constrained consumer designs where peak surge energy is lower. | Select SMAJ24A only if board area is critical and worst-case surge current remains ≤10.3 A. |
| SMCJ24A | Same VBR/VWM range, higher PPPM (1500 W), larger SMC package; VC = 38.9 V at 38.9 A. | Overqualified for basic 24 V rail protection but necessary for high-energy load dump scenarios (e.g., heavy-duty truck systems). | Choose SMCJ24A when system-level testing reveals >400 W surge exposure or when extended thermal endurance is required. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 delivers optimal balance of clamping voltage (33.2 V), thermal robustness (+185 °C TJ), and AEC-Q101 compliance in the MPG06 package - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-reliability 24 V automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The TMPG06-24AHE3/100 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 12.0 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet 88404 and reflects worst-case performance at TA = 25 °C. The TMPG06-24AHE3/100 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, with minor derating above 25 °C per Figure 2.
Is the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the "MECHANICAL DATA" and "Notes" sections of Vishay document 88404. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), temperature cycling (TCT), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST). The TMPG06-24AHE3/100 meets these requirements in its MPG06 package with HE3 suffix, making it suitable for front-end power protection in automotive ECUs, body control modules, and ADAS subsystems.
What does the "HE3/100" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24AHE3/100?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing. The "/100" indicates packaging in 100-unit bulk format - distinct from tape-and-reel variants like /1000 or /5500. This bulk configuration is intended for prototyping, low-volume production, or manual assembly processes where reel feeding is not required. The TMPG06-24AHE3/100 retains identical electrical and thermal specifications regardless of packaging format.
Can the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 is unidirectional only, as stated in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet. It conducts in forward bias and clamps in reverse bias above VBR, but provides no protection against positive transients on the anode side. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a separate symmetric TVS array or dedicated bidirectional device such as the SMBJ24CA must be used. Using the TMPG06-24AHE3/100 in bidirectional configurations risks failure during positive-going surges.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TMPG06-24AHE3/100?
The TMPG06-24AHE3/100 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +185 °C, specified in the "PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS" table and confirmed in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" section of Vishay document 88404. This rating enables reliable operation in high-temperature environments such as engine compartments and industrial motor drive enclosures. Derating of peak pulse power begins above TA = 25 °C per Figure 2, and the device remains functional up to TJ = 185 °C without permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure.
