Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the MPG06 package, designed for clamping inductive-switching transients and lightning-induced surges. It features a 25.7 V to 28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 37.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 10.7 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used to protect MOSFETs and sensor signal lines in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D 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 status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its low incremental resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during transient events, while its fast response time (<1 ns) enables effective suppression of sub-microsecond spikes induced by inductive load switching or ESD.
The device is rated for 185 °C maximum junction temperature and supports repetitive 0.01 % duty cycle pulses. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the UL 94 V-0 molded epoxy case provides mechanical robustness and flame resistance in harsh 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 under 1 mA test current; sets lower bound for clamping onset. |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage; must exceed normal circuit operating voltage to avoid leakage or power loss. |
| VC @ IPPM | 37.5 V - clamped voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected downstream components. |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with 10/1000 µs waveform; defines surge energy absorption capacity per event. |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); relevant for fault conditions involving forward conduction. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without thermal shutdown. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against reverse-polarity transients only; requires correct orientation with cathode toward protected line. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with axial leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead spacing, 1.0" (25.4 mm) minimum lead length, matte tin-plated terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in unidirectional TVS configuration; determines current path during clamping. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased avalanche terminal | Marked with color band; connected to protected signal/power line; conducts when transient exceeds VWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - required for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surge immunity without degradation - sufficient for 12 V automotive power rail protection. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.32) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs - critical for safeguarding 24 V-rated microcontrollers and CAN transceivers. |
| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power modules) without thermal derating - extends design flexibility in compact ECU layouts. |
| Matte tin plating (JESD 201 Class 2) | Prevents tin whisker growth in high-reliability applications - eliminates risk of short circuits in long-life automotive systems. |

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), same MPG06 package, 400 W rating, but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial use only. | Select SMAJ24A only if AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and VWM = 20.5 V suffices for system margin. |
| TPSMF24A | Same VBR range (24.0–26.5 V), SOD-123FL package (smaller footprint), 400 W rating, AEC-Q101 qualified. | Surface-mount package requires PCB rework; lower thermal mass limits sustained pulse repetition. | Choose TPSMF24A when board space is constrained and thermal management allows for lower IPPM derating. |
Compared with TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D, SMAJ24A offers identical surge capability but lacks automotive qualification, while TPSMF24A provides AEC-Q101 compliance in a smaller SMD package - making TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D optimal for through-hole automotive designs requiring proven thermal robustness and high-temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D under specified test conditions?
The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 10.7 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and represents the upper limit of voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a surge event. The clamping performance remains stable across the full operating temperature range due to the device's low temperature coefficient of VBR (0.096 %/°C). Engineers must verify that this clamping level stays below the absolute maximum ratings of downstream ICs in the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D-protected system.
Is the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and ESD immunity required for automotive electronics. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature rating and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance) further validate its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications. The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D is commonly deployed in engine control units, ADAS camera modules, and infotainment power supplies where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.
What does the "HE3_A/D" suffix indicate in TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. The "_A/D" indicates the revision code and packaging variant - specifically, tape-and-reel delivery in 13" diameter reels with 5500 units per reel and a preferred package code "C". This suffix confirms full compliance with automotive and industrial environmental standards and ensures consistent manufacturability in automated assembly processes for the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D.
How does the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in surge protection?
The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D is unidirectional and therefore optimized for DC-biased lines such as automotive power rails or single-ended sensor outputs, where reverse conduction must be blocked during normal operation. Unlike bidirectional TVS diodes, it does not conduct in forward bias beyond ~3.5 V, avoiding unintended loading of positive-going signals. For AC or bipolar signal lines (e.g., USB, RS-485), a bidirectional device would be required - but for the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D's intended use cases, its unidirectional behavior improves system efficiency and reduces standby leakage.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D above 25 °C ambient?
The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D follows a linear derating curve for peak pulse power (PPPM) starting at 25 °C, with full 400 W capability only at TA ≤ 25 °C. Above that, power handling decreases per Figure 2 in the datasheet: at 75 °C ambient, PPPM is reduced to approximately 200 W, and at 125 °C, it falls to ~100 W. This derating applies to repetitive pulses; single-event surges retain full rating if junction temperature remains within 185 °C. Designers must calculate worst-case TJ rise using thermal resistance data and ensure the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/D remains within safe operating area.
