Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3/53 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 25.7–28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V clamping voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-27AHE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-temperature reflow and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that diverts transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry when line voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of fast-rising transients from inductive switching or ESD events.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports continuous power dissipation of 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C, and maintains stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature range-enabling use in under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise voltage threshold at which avalanche conduction begins under 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous working voltage before significant leakage; ensures no false triggering during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V - clamped voltage seen by protected circuit at 10.7 A peak pulse, limiting stress on downstream components |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, supporting common ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge profiles |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, validating robustness against load-dump and inductive kick events |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables reliable operation in high-temperature automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives |
| Temperature Coefficient | 0.096 %/°C - quantifies VBR drift with temperature, critical for precision clamping in wide-ambient applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101. Cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction or clamping | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); forms low-impedance path to cathode during overvoltage |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping; marked with band | Typically tied to ground or lower-potential reference; determines unidirectional clamping direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS modules requiring long-term reliability |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and ISO 16750-2 load-dump immunity requirements without external derating |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during transients, reducing risk of latch-up or damage to 3.3 V/5 V/12 V logic and interface ICs |
| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC-DC converters) without thermal derating penalties |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Ensures long-term solder joint integrity in high-vibration environments such as automotive chassis and industrial machinery |

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-E3/5A | Lower VBR (22.8–25.2 V), same MPG06 package, 400 W rating, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive production due to missing qualification | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and VWM ≥ 20.5 V suffices for system margin |
| TPSMF24A | Same VBR range (22.8–25.2 V), SOD-123FL package (smaller footprint), 400 W rating, AEC-Q101 qualified | Requires PCB layout change; lower thermal mass limits sustained surge duty cycle vs. MPG06 | Choose for space-constrained designs where 2.5 mm × 1.3 mm footprint is mandatory and thermal cycling is moderate |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5A and TPSMF24A, TMPG06-27AHE3/53 provides higher VBR and VWM for 24 V systems with tighter tolerance margins, full AEC-Q101 compliance, and superior thermal robustness in the larger MPG06 package-making it optimal for under-hood automotive and high-reliability industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TMPG06-27AHE3/53?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/53 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports precise overvoltage margining in 24 V systems. The value is confirmed in the official Vishay datasheet document number 88404, revision 17-Sep-2021.
Is the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and qualification to ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 standards confirm suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted applications. The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance and automotive-grade reliability.
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/53 clamps to a maximum of 37.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.7 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This clamping voltage directly determines the maximum stress imposed on downstream components during surge events and is validated in Vishay's electrical characteristics table. The low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32) reflects high surge-handling efficiency.
Does the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 have bidirectional polarity?
No, the TMPG06-27AHE3/53 is unidirectional only, as stated in the Vishay datasheet. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the MPG06 package body. It conducts and clamps only when the cathode is at higher potential than the anode-making it appropriate for DC rail protection where reverse voltage is not expected. Bidirectional variants (e.g., TMPG06-27CA) are separate part numbers.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation of the TMPG06-27AHE3/53?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/53 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C. This rating is defined in the "Maximum Ratings" table and must be derated linearly above 75 °C per the power derating curve (Figure 5). It is not intended for continuous power dissipation but rather for infrequent transient absorption.
