Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24AHE3/53 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), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤33.2 V at rated surge, enabling reliable protection of MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-24AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-24AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-24AHE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.094 %/°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 its VWM (20.5 V) and entering avalanche breakdown above VBR (min 22.8 V). Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of 10/1000 µs transients without compromising signal integrity on sensitive nodes.
Rated for 400 W non-repetitive pulse power and 40 A peak forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it supports high-energy transient events while maintaining thermal stability up to 185 °C junction temperature. The device's unidirectional polarity and cathode band marking simplify board-level integration and polarity verification during assembly.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Same VWM (20.7 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (38.9 V), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients due to reduced thermal capacity; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer TMPG06-24AHE3/53 where automotive qualification, higher IPPM margin, or MPG06 mechanical robustness is required |
| 1.5KE24A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, VWM = 20.5 V, VC = 36.0 V, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Overqualified for 400 W needs; requires larger PCB area and lacks automotive reliability validation | Choose TMPG06-24AHE3/53 when space-constrained automotive or industrial designs demand AEC-Q101 compliance and optimized thermal performance |
Compared with SMAJ24A and 1.5KE24A, TMPG06-24AHE3/53 delivers AEC-Q101 assurance, tighter VBR tolerance (±5 %), lower clamping voltage (33.2 V vs. ≥36.0 V), and MPG06 package rigidity-making it optimal for vibration-prone automotive and high-reliability industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-24AHE3/53 at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-24AHE3/53 is 33.2 V when subjected to its rated 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream components like microcontrollers or gate drivers remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events. The TMPG06-24AHE3/53 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance and thermal stability up to 185 °C.
Is TMPG06-24AHE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-24AHE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and accelerated life testing required for automotive under-hood and body electronics. Its construction-MPG06 package with matte tin leads, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, and 185 °C maximum junction temperature-supports deployment in engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and body control modules. The TMPG06-24AHE3/53 meets these requirements without derating in standard automotive ambient conditions.
What does the "HE3/53" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24AHE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/53" specifies the tape-and-reel packaging option: 5500 units per 13-inch diameter reel. This packaging format is optimized for SMT placement equipment and ensures consistent feed reliability during high-volume manufacturing. The TMPG06-24AHE3/53 uses this configuration to support automated assembly in automotive and industrial production lines.
How does TMPG06-24AHE3/53 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in circuit design?
TMPG06-24AHE3/53 is unidirectional only, intended for DC circuits where polarity is fixed-such as 24 V power rails or sensor outputs referenced to ground. Unlike bidirectional variants, it provides lower leakage at VWM (1.0 µA max) and sharper breakdown knee, improving efficiency in always-on protection schemes. For AC or dual-polarity signal lines, a bidirectional part would be required; the TMPG06-24AHE3/53 is not suitable in those cases due to its single-junction structure and cathode-band polarity marking.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TMPG06-24AHE3/53 above 25 °C ambient?
TMPG06-24AHE3/53 follows a linear derating curve for peak pulse power above 25 °C ambient, with full 400 W capability at TA = 25 °C and zero capability at TJ = 185 °C. Derating is defined by junction temperature, not ambient alone; actual usable pulse energy depends on PCB copper area, trace width, and airflow. The TMPG06-24AHE3/53 datasheet provides Fig. 2 for precise derating guidance, and its 185 °C TJ max enables sustained operation in high-temperature enclosures where other TVS devices would thermally throttle.
