Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C 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_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased circuits, high-temperature operation up to +185 °C junction, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations in the MPG06 package.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping device that remains non-conductive below VWM = 20.5 V and rapidly avalanches above VBR (min 22.8 V) to limit transient energy. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of ESD, load dump, and inductive switching spikes.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and dissipates 1.0 W continuously on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C. Thermal derating follows Fig. 2, maintaining functionality across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - Ensures reliable turn-on above system nominal voltage while avoiding false triggering |
| VWM | 20.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V at 12.0 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient defines protected circuit's maximum stress level |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling capability for standardized surge immunity compliance testing |
| IFSM | 40 A - Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine surge without degradation, critical for automotive load-dump protection |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Suitable for DC-biased lines where reverse conduction must be blocked |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.115–0.125 inch (2.92–3.18 mm) body length, axial lead configuration. Cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / transient return path | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or negative rail) in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Clamping node / transient sink | Connected to protected line; avalanche conduction diverts surge current to anode when VAK > VBR |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Same VWM (20.5 V) and VC (38.9 V), but lower PPPM (600 W vs. 400 W); SMB package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for sustained high-temperature environments due to lower TJ max. (150 °C vs. 185 °C) | Select SMBJ24A only if board space is constrained and thermal management ensures TJ stays ≤150 °C. |
| 1.5KE24A | Higher VC (39.4 V), same PPPM (400 W), DO-201 package (larger, higher thermal inertia), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive use; requires additional validation for vibration and thermal cycling | Prefer TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C for automotive or high-reliability industrial designs requiring AEC-Q101 and 185 °C operation. |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5KE24A, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C delivers superior high-temperature resilience (185 °C), automotive qualification, and optimized clamping (33.2 V), making it the preferred choice for under-hood and mission-critical embedded protection where thermal margin and certification matter.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C is 33.2 V at 12.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the datasheet and defines the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during a surge event. The low VC relative to VBR ensures minimal overstress on downstream components such as microcontrollers or power MOSFETs in the TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C protection path.
Is TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive use. It supports junction temperatures up to +185 °C, meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and is RoHS-compliant. These attributes make TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3_A/C" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified packaging: "HE3" specifies matte tin-plated leads passing JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, while "A/C" indicates the revision code and tape-and-reel delivery (13″ diameter paper tape, 5500 units per reel). This suffix confirms TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C meets automotive sourcing and assembly requirements including solderability per J-STD-002.
How does TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, meaning it conducts surge current in one direction (cathode to anode) and blocks reverse voltage up to VWM = 20.5 V. Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot protect AC or dual-polarity signals. Its design targets DC-biased lines like automotive 24 V supplies or industrial sensor outputs, where polarity is fixed and low leakage (<1 μA) at VWM is critical for system accuracy.
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) for TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C is +185 °C, with storage temperature ranging from -65 °C to +185 °C. This rating enables deployment in high-heat zones such as near power converters or under-hood automotive locations. Derating curves (Figure 2) define allowable pulse power reduction above 25 °C ambient, ensuring safe operation across the full specified thermal envelope for TMPG06-24AHE3_A/C.
