Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C 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 V to 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 - enabling use in engine control units and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 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-induced voltage spikes to ≤37.5 V at 10.7 A. Its low incremental resistance and sub-nanosecond response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and load-switching transients.
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, and maintains stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction temperature - critical for under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines minimum and maximum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins reliably at 1 mA test current |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA, ensuring no false triggering during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V at 10.7 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient, directly limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform, defining transient energy absorption capacity |
| IFSM | 40 A - surge current rating for 8.3 ms half-sine wave, supporting protection against inductive kickback in motor drivers |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in high-temperature automotive locations such as transmission control modules and power inverters |
| Temperature Coefficient of VBR | 0.096 %/°C - quantifies VBR drift with temperature, critical for precision clamping stability over wide ambient ranges |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead pitch, 1.0" (25.4 mm) minimum tape reel length, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / low-side reference | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional TVS configuration; forms cathode-to-anode clamping path |
| Cathode | Transient voltage sensing / clamping node | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H, LIN, 12 V rail); color band identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and IEC 61000-4-5 surges without external series impedance |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.33) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between clamping and breakdown, reducing risk of damage to downstream 24 V-rated components |
| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs, DC/DC converters) without derating in engine compartment applications |
| HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test) | Confirms long-term solder joint integrity under thermal cycling, eliminating tin whisker growth risk in high-reliability assemblies |

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 VBR (22.8–25.2 V), same MPG06 package, 400 W rating, but only AEC-Q200 (not Q101) qualified | Acceptable for non-safety-critical consumer/industrial use; not approved for automotive powertrain or ADAS subsystems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and VWM ≥ 20.5 V suffices |
| TPSMA6L24A-Q | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q101), same VWM (23.1 V), but higher VC (38.9 V at 10.3 A) and lower PPPM (300 W) | Marginally lower surge energy handling; requires verification against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a worst-case profiles | Prefer when footprint compatibility with SMA package is required and system-level testing confirms 300 W adequacy |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6L24A-Q, the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C delivers tighter VBR tolerance (±5%), superior thermal robustness (185 °C vs. 150 °C), and verified AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the preferred choice for high-temperature, safety-relevant automotive protection where clamping precision and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C?
The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C 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 range ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88404, Table on page 2.
Is TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature, HE3 whisker-tested leads, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 transient immunity make it suitable for under-hood deployment where TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C must withstand harsh thermal and electrical environments.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix mean in TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, while "A/C" denotes the revision code and packaging format - specifically, 13-inch paper tape and reel with 5500 units per reel, per Vishay's ordering information table in Document Number 88404.
How does TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C compare to standard SMAJ-series TVS diodes?
TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C offers identical 400 W peak pulse power and MPG06 package dimensions as SMAJ devices but adds AEC-Q101 qualification, higher 185 °C junction rating (vs. 150 °C), and tighter VBR tolerance. Unlike many SMAJ variants, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C is validated for automotive powertrain applications where long-term reliability under thermal cycling is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C during a transient event?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-27AHE3_A/C is 37.5 V at 10.7 A peak pulse current under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 and Table on page 2 of Vishay Document Number 88404 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge conditions.
