Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V 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 - enabling use in engine control units and sensor interfaces exposed to load dump or inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V datasheet, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V pinout, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V application, or TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional polarity, 185 °C maximum junction temperature, low 0.096 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads, and MPG06 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly under JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that remains non-conductive below VWM = 23.1 V and rapidly avalanches above VBR = 25.7–28.4 V to limit transient voltages. Its 10.7 A peak pulse current rating (IPPM) and 37.5 V clamping voltage ensure effective suppression of 400 W transients without damaging downstream ICs or MOSFETs.
The device uses a passivated silicon junction in an epoxy-molded MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, with cathode indicated by a color band. It supports high-reliability operation across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing due to its HE3 suffix construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 25.7 V / 28.4 V - defines precise avalanche onset threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 23.1 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage rises above 1 µA |

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 400 W PPPM, SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less suitable for 24 V systems requiring margin above nominal rail; better for space-constrained 12 V designs | Select when board area is critical and 24 V system tolerates tighter clamping margin |
| TPSMA6L24A | Higher VBR (25.1–27.7 V), 600 W PPPM, same MPG06-compatible SMA package but different thermal derating curve | Offers higher surge margin but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 185 °C TJ rating | Prefer for industrial-only applications needing extra power headroom without automotive certification |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMA6L24A, the TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, +185 °C operation, and precise 25.7–28.4 V breakdown targeting 24 V automotive rails - making it the optimal choice where qualification, temperature resilience, and rail-specific clamping are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V when subjected to its rated 10.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and ensures predictable voltage limiting during transient events without exceeding safe thresholds for downstream 24 V-rated components.
Is TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - confirming its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V?
The "HE3" suffix in TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V denotes compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating on leads. It also signifies qualification to AEC-Q101 standards and adherence to Vishay's material categorization per document 99912 - distinguishing it from non-HE3 variants that lack whisker resistance and automotive qualification.
Can TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the "FEATURES" section of the Vishay datasheet. It protects against positive-going transients on the cathode side relative to anode. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as the SMBJ24CA or a back-to-back configuration would be required - TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) for TMPG06-27AHE3_A/V is +185 °C, as specified in the "PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS" table of the Vishay datasheet. This rating allows reliable operation in high-temperature environments such as engine control units, motor drive inverters, and enclosed industrial power supplies where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
