Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24AHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. 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), 33.2 V clamping voltage at 12.0 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-24AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-24AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-24AHE3/73 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 lead-free reflow and solder dip (275 °C/10 s).
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device that remains high-impedance below VWM (20.5 V) and rapidly transitions to low-impedance conduction above VBR (min 22.8 V), limiting transient voltages to ≤33.2 V at 12.0 A. Its 0.094 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable threshold behavior across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
The MPG06 package supports high-reliability mounting with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. It is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits low incremental resistance for effective energy absorption.
Key Specifications

| VWM | 20.5 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 12.0 A - peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient, critical for downstream IC survival |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability per standard 10/1000 µs waveform |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting inductive load switching events |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC outline with 2.54 mm lead pitch, UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy |
Pinout & Package
The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 uses the MPG06 (DO-214AC) package: a molded epoxy case with axial leads, 2.54 mm lead spacing, and cathode indicated by a color band on the body. Leads are matte tin-plated and solderable per J-STD-002.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / transient return path | Connected to protected circuit ground or low-side reference; conducts during positive transients when cathode is biased higher |
| Cathode | Clamping node / transient sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); absorbs energy by shunting excess voltage to ground when VAK exceeds VBR |
Key Features

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 (20.5 V) and VC (38.9 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC/VBR ratio (1.61 vs. 1.31), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients due to higher clamping voltage; less suitable for tight-margin 24 V systems with 36 V-rated ICs | Select SMAJ24A only if board space is constrained and clamping margin >8.4 V is acceptable |
| SMCJ24A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VBR, larger SMC package, higher IPPM (65.1 A), VC = 38.9 V | Better for high-energy lightning surges (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4), but over-spec'd and costlier for standard automotive load dump | Choose SMCJ24A when system-level surge testing requires >1000 W headroom or when PCB layout allows larger SMC footprint |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 delivers optimal balance of low clamping voltage (33.2 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, and MPG06 thermal robustness-making it preferred for space-constrained yet thermally demanding 24 V automotive modules where precise voltage limiting is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 under a 10/1000 µs transient?
The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 has 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 guaranteed per the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Rev. 17-Sep-2021) and reflects worst-case performance at TA = 25 °C. The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low 0.094 %/°C VBR coefficient.
Is the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet under "MECHANICAL DATA" and "Notes" sections. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics. The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 is part of Vishay's PAR® family, designed specifically for automotive-grade reliability.
What does the "HE3/73" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24AHE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. The "/73" is a Vishay internal packaging code indicating tape-and-reel delivery in 5500-unit reels on 13-inch diameter cores. Both elements are confirmed in the "ORDERING INFORMATION" section of the official datasheet (88404), and the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes.
How does the TMPG06-24AHE3/73 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in 24 V systems?
The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 is unidirectional and optimized for DC power rail protection where transients are predominantly positive-going (e.g., load dump, inductive kickback). Unlike bidirectional variants, it provides lower leakage (<1.0 µA at 20.5 V) and tighter VBR tolerance-critical for stable biasing in always-on automotive modules. Bidirectional TVS diodes would introduce unnecessary leakage during normal operation and lack the AEC-Q101 validation specific to the TMPG06-24AHE3/73's unidirectional design.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the TMPG06-24AHE3/73?
The Vishay datasheet does not specify RθJL directly for the TMPG06-24AHE3/73. However, its power dissipation rating is given as PD = 1.0 W at TL = 75 °C (Fig. 5), implying an effective RθJL of approximately 110 °C/W. This value is derived from (TJmax − TL) / PD = (185 − 75) / 1.0. The TMPG06-24AHE3/73 relies on lead conduction rather than PCB copper for heat removal, making lead temperature control essential in high-power transient scenarios.
