Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24HE3/53 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 - deployed on engine control units, sensor interfaces, and 24 V DC bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24HE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-24HE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-24HE3/53 application, or TMPG06-24HE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low incremental resistance, fast response time, and compatibility with high-reliability 24 V automotive subsystems requiring IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 level protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Its unidirectional polarity enables protection against positive transients on grounded-line configurations, with low dynamic impedance ensuring effective voltage limiting during ESD or load-dump events.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains specified clamping performance up to 185 °C junction temperature and supports solder reflow per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C, 10 s). The MPG06 package provides UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - Ensures reliable conduction onset above normal 24 V rail operating range while avoiding false triggering. |
| VWM | 20.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; compatible with 24 V nominal systems. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Sustains 10/1000 µs surge pulses without degradation; meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 & 2b requirements. |
| IPPM | 12.0 A - Peak surge current capability at rated clamping voltage; validates protection margin for typical 24 V inductive switch-offs. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤33.2 V - Clamped voltage limits stress on downstream MOSFETs or ICs; ensures safe operation below 36 V absolute max ratings. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables deployment in under-hood environments and high-power industrial enclosures without derating. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Confirmed reliability for automotive electronics per stress test standard including HTGB, HTRB, and TCT. |

| Cathode | Clamping reference / ground connection | Connected to system ground; defines clamping threshold relative to ground; marked by colored band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Peak pulse power | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - Handles repetitive load-dump surges in 24 V automotive networks without thermal runaway. |
| Clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.31 - Low ratio indicates efficient energy diversion and minimal voltage overshoot during transients. |
| Incremental resistance | Low - Confirmed via steep V-I curve slope; reduces clamping voltage rise under high-current surges. |
| Temperature coefficient of VBR | 0.094 %/°C - Predictable VBR drift across -65 °C to +185 °C enables stable protection in extreme ambient conditions. |

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), larger SMA package, non-AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; suitable for commercial-grade 24 V systems only | Select if AEC-Q101 not required and board space allows SMA footprint |
| TPSMF24A | Same VBR/VWM, lower PPPM (200 W), smaller SOD-123FL package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to lower-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) | Choose for space-constrained automotive modules where surge energy is limited to ESD/lightning only |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMF24A, the TMPG06-24HE3/53 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 400 W surge handling, and MPG06 mechanical robustness - making it the only option validated for full automotive load-dump immunity in compact axial-leaded form.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24HE3/53 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-24HE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.0 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per the manufacturer's test conditions and ensures downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events. The TMPG06-24HE3/53 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance and thermal stability up to 185 °C.
Is the TMPG06-24HE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-24HE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT). This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive powertrain, body, and chassis electronics where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical. The TMPG06-24HE3/53 is explicitly listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product documentation.
What does the "HE3/53" suffix indicate in TMPG06-24HE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/53" specifies the packaging configuration: 5500 units per 13-inch paper tape and reel. This packaging format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and aligns with Vishay's standard ordering code structure for the TMPG06-24HE3/53 series.
Can the TMPG06-24HE3/53 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TMPG06-24HE3/53 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive transients on grounded-line configurations and must be oriented with the cathode (color-banded end) toward ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate pair of unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ24CA would be required - the TMPG06-24HE3/53 does not support symmetrical clamping.
What is the operating temperature range of the TMPG06-24HE3/53?
The TMPG06-24HE3/53 operates across a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +185 °C, enabling use in extreme environments such as engine compartments, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. Its thermal stability is validated per derating curves in the datasheet, and the device maintains specified VBR, VC, and leakage performance throughout this full range. This wide range is integral to the TMPG06-24HE3/53's design for high-reliability applications.
