Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3/54 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 stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 10.7 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-27AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (25.7–28.4 V), limiting transient energy to safe levels before downstream components. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of 10/1000 µs surge waveforms without significant voltage overshoot.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), supports soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s per JESD 22-B106, and maintains stable performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial motor drives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage rises above 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V at 10.7 A - clamped voltage during 400 W transient, determining protected circuit's peak stress level |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with standard 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine, supporting inductive load switching events |

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 | Lower VBR (24.0–26.5 V), lower PPPM (400 W same, but lower IPPM = 12.3 A), SMA package | Less thermal margin (TJ max = 150 °C), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TPSMD27A | Same VBR range (25.7–28.4 V), identical PPPM, but higher VC (40.5 V), DO-214AB package | Larger footprint, lower power density, no HE3 whisker rating | Preferred only if board layout requires DO-214AB mechanical compatibility over MPG06 space constraints |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMD27A, the TMPG06-27AHE3/54 delivers superior automotive readiness via AEC-Q101 qualification, higher junction temperature tolerance (+185 °C), and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance - making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, high-reliability 24 V system protection where thermal and longevity margins are critical.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-27AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 25.7 V to 28.4 V at 1.0 mA test current, per Vishay Document Number 88404. This ±10% tolerance ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, enabling robust design margining for 24 V systems where nominal rail can vary between 20 V and 28 V.
Is TMPG06-27AHE3/54 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TMPG06-27AHE3/54 supports lead-free assembly with a maximum solder dip temperature of 275 °C for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. The HE3 suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, essential for long-term reliability in Pb-free thermal profiles.
Does TMPG06-27AHE3/54 meet automotive qualification requirements?
Yes, TMPG06-27AHE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the Vishay datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD, confirming suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems where failure modes must be rigorously controlled.
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-27AHE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 37.5 V at its rated peak pulse current of 10.7 A (10/1000 µs waveform), per the Electrical Characteristics table in Vishay Document Number 88404. This clamping voltage directly determines the maximum stress imposed on downstream components during surge events and is validated across the full operating temperature range.
How does the temperature coefficient affect TMPG06-27AHE3/54 performance in high-ambient environments?
The TMPG06-27AHE3/54 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. At 150 °C, VBR rises ~12% above room-temperature value - a known, linear shift that allows designers to maintain safe margins even in under-hood locations exceeding 125 °C ambient, unlike devices with uncharacterized or nonlinear drift.
