Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V 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 maximum standoff 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 - deployed on engine control units, sensor interfaces, and 12 V/24 V DC systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V datasheet, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V pinout, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V application, or TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental resistance, fast response time, and compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold to divert transient energy away from sensitive components. Its unidirectional polarity and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32) ensure minimal overvoltage exposure during ESD or load-switching events.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains specified performance across -65 °C to +185 °C junction range and supports repetitive 0.01% duty cycle surges. The MPG06 package enables surface-mount assembly with JESD 22-B106-compliant soldering (275 °C, 10 s max) and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications

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-E3/5AT | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC (38.9 V @ 10.3 A); SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for sustained surge environments; limited to lower-energy transients due to reduced thermal inertia | Prefer TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V where board space allows and thermal robustness is critical (e.g., automotive under-hood) |
| TPSMA6L24A-Q1 | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical VBR range and VC; SOD-123FL package; lower IFSM (30 A vs. 40 A) | Compatible for most automotive signal-line use cases, but not recommended for high-current power rail clamping | Choose TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V when protecting 24 V power domains with >30 A surge exposure potential |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6L24A-Q1, the TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V delivers superior thermal endurance (185 °C TJ), higher surge current rating (40 A IFSM), and larger package thermal mass - making it the preferred choice for primary power rail protection in harsh-environment automotive and industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V?
The TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.2 V at 1.0 mA test current (VBR), per Vishay Document Number 88404. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports design margining for 24 V system overvoltage thresholds. The specification is verified per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and applies at TA = 25 °C.
Is TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode ground reference. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), a separate symmetric TVS like SMBJ24CA or dual-diode array would be required. Using TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V in reverse-biased AC configurations risks permanent failure.
What does the "HE3_A/V" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V?
The "HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance; "A" is the revision code; "/V" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per Vishay's ordering convention. This suffix confirms compliance with automotive reliability requirements and surface-mount assembly compatibility - all verified in the official TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V datasheet (Rev. 17-Sep-2021).
How does TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V perform at elevated temperatures?
TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V maintains full functionality up to +185 °C junction temperature, with derated peak pulse power per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 125 °C ambient, its PPPM remains ≥240 W (60% of 400 W), and VBR exhibits only +0.094 %/°C drift - enabling stable operation in engine bay or industrial drive enclosures without external heatsinking.
Can TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V replace older P6KE24A devices?
TMPG06-24AHE3_A/V offers higher surge capability (400 W vs. 600 W P6KE24A), smaller MPG06 footprint, AEC-Q101 qualification, and improved thermal rating (185 °C vs. 175 °C). However, direct replacement requires layout verification: MPG06 has different pad dimensions and thermal pad requirements than DO-15. Always validate PCB land pattern and thermal relief per Vishay's MPG06 mechanical drawings before substitution.
