Product details
Overview
TMPG06-27HE3/53 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 V to 28.4 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 23.1 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 37.5 V clamping voltage at 10.7 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-27HE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-27HE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-27HE3/53 application, or TMPG06-27HE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating up to +185 °C, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly per JESD 22-B106 (275 °C solder dip).
Technical Context
The TMPG06-27HE3/53 operates as a silicon avalanche diode with fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental resistance, enabling precise clamping of ESD and inductive switching transients before sensitive downstream components are stressed. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased surge suppression while allowing forward conduction during normal operation.
Rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine), it sustains 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C and exhibits a +0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, ensuring stable breakdown behavior across its -65 °C to +185 °C operating junction range.
Key Specifications

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 PPPM (400 W same), but VBR = 26.7–29.5 V, VC = 38.9 V at 10.3 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass). | Less suitable for high-temperature under-hood use due to lower TJ max (150 °C vs. 185 °C); not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is not required. |
| SMCJ24A | Same VBR range (26.7–29.5 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), VC = 38.9 V at 38.7 A; SMC package (larger, higher thermal capacity). | Better for high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 16750-2 long-duration pulses), but requires larger PCB area and may be over-specified for 400 W needs. | Select when system-level testing reveals need for >400 W surge margin or extended thermal endurance. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TMPG06-27HE3/53 delivers optimized balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, +185 °C junction rating, and MPG06 package robustness-making it preferred for space-constrained yet thermally demanding automotive and industrial applications where qualification and reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-27HE3/53?
The TMPG06-27HE3/53 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 range ensures consistent avalanche initiation across production lots and temperature extremes, directly supporting design margining for 24 V systems. The TMPG06-27HE3/53 maintains this specification under all qualified operating conditions.
Is TMPG06-27HE3/53 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-27HE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, robust construction per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 transient immunity make it appropriate for body control modules, ADAS power supplies, and infotainment system protection. The TMPG06-27HE3/53 meets all stress-test requirements defined in the AEC-Q101 standard.
What does the "HE3/53" suffix indicate in TMPG06-27HE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "/53" specifies packaging in 13" diameter paper tape and reel with 5500 units per reel. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports traceable lot control. The TMPG06-27HE3/53 uses this standardized delivery mode for volume manufacturing.
How does TMPG06-27HE3/53 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-27HE3/53 is unidirectional only, meaning it protects against reverse-polarity transients on positive rails and conducts forward during overvoltage events-ideal for DC power lines like 24 V automotive systems. Unlike bidirectional variants, it does not suppress symmetrical AC transients. Its unidirectional architecture yields lower leakage and tighter VBR tolerance, which is why the TMPG06-27HE3/53 is preferred for precision DC rail protection.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-27HE3/53 at rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-27HE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 10.7 A, tested with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The TMPG06-27HE3/53 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance and thermal stability.
