Product details
Overview
TMPG06-24HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the MPG06 package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and ESD events. It features a 22.8 V to 25.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 20.5 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 12.0 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used for protecting MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-24HE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-24HE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-24HE3/54 application, or TMPG06-24HE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VDD, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased lines, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device placed in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) enable effective suppression of transient energy before downstream components experience overvoltage stress.
The device uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. It is characterized for operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature and supports repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 22.8 V / 25.2 V - Ensures reliable turn-on above system operating voltage while avoiding false triggering during normal transients. |
| VWM | 20.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage the device blocks without significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| VC @ IPPM | 33.2 V - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit at 12.0 A peak pulse; must remain below absolute maximum rating of downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak transient energy absorption capability using standard 10/1000 µs waveform; defines surge robustness level. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating; validates survivability against high-energy inductive kickback events. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables placement near hot components (e.g., power MOSFETs, engine controllers) without thermal derating failure. |

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), but higher VC (38.9 V) and lower PPPM (600 W in SMB package); SMT instead of axial. | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount layout; less suitable for through-hole chassis grounding in high-vibration environments. | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is prioritized over mechanical robustness. |
| 1.5KE24A | Higher VC (39.0 V), same VWM, larger DO-201 package; 1500 W PPPM but slower response due to higher junction capacitance. | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive applications requiring qualification evidence. | Choose only for cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and clamping voltage margin allows. |
Compared with SMBJ24A and 1.5KE24A, the TMPG06-24HE3/54 delivers tighter clamping (33.2 V vs. ≥38.9 V), proven automotive qualification, and axial-leaded mechanical stability-making it optimal for under-hood 24 V systems where voltage margin and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-24HE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-24HE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 33.2 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 12.0 A, measured using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and ensures protected circuits remain within safe voltage limits during transient events. The TMPG06-24HE3/54 achieves this with low incremental resistance and fast avalanche response.
Is the TMPG06-24HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-24HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including powertrain, body electronics, and chassis systems. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-tested leads, and validated performance under temperature cycling and high-temperature reverse bias confirm suitability for under-hood deployment. The TMPG06-24HE3/54 meets these requirements without derating in typical engine bay thermal profiles.
How does the TMPG06-24HE3/54 differ from the SMBJ24A in terms of physical implementation?
The TMPG06-24HE3/54 uses an axial-leaded MPG06 package with 2.54 mm diameter and >25.4 mm lead length, enabling secure mechanical mounting and chassis grounding-ideal for high-vibration automotive environments. In contrast, the SMBJ24A is a surface-mount SMB package requiring PCB-level routing and thermal relief. The TMPG06-24HE3/54's axial form factor also simplifies replacement and field service compared to SMT alternatives like the SMBJ24A.
What is the stand-off voltage (VWM) of the TMPG06-24HE3/54, and why is it important?
The TMPG06-24HE3/54 has a stand-off voltage (VWM) of 20.5 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage during normal operation. This parameter ensures minimal leakage current (<1 µA at 25 °C) and avoids interference with 24 V nominal systems operating within ±10% tolerance. Selecting a VWM correctly prevents false triggering while maintaining sufficient margin to VBR-a key design requirement met precisely by the TMPG06-24HE3/54.
Does the TMPG06-24HE3/54 have a defined polarity, and how is it identified?
Yes, the TMPG06-24HE3/54 is unidirectional and features explicit polarity marking: a color band on the cathode end indicates the terminal to be connected to the protected line (e.g., 24 V rail or signal trace), while the anode connects to ground or return. This polarity is essential for correct operation-reversing connections would prevent clamping during positive transients. The TMPG06-24HE3/54's unidirectional architecture is optimized for DC-biased protection scenarios common in automotive and industrial power systems.
