Product details
Overview
TMPG06-30AHE3/54 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 28.5 V to 31.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 25.6 V maximum working voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 9.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to 41.4 V at rated surge - deployed on engine control units, sensor interfaces, and 12 V/24 V DC systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-30AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-30AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-30AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental resistance, and compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold to divert transient energy away from sensitive components. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating reflects standardized surge immunity testing per IEC 61000-4-5 and ISO 7637-2, with thermal derating above 25 °C governed by Fig. 2 in the datasheet.
The MPG06 package enables surface-mount assembly with 0.125" lead spacing and UL 94 V-0 epoxy molding, supporting soldering at 275 °C for ≤10 s (JESD 22-B106). Its 0.073 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures stable clamping across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 28.5 V / 31.5 V - defines precise activation window for overvoltage clamping |
| VWM | 25.6 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage rises above 1 µA |
| PPPM | 400 W - surge handling capability under 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle |
| IPPM | 9.7 A - peak current diverted during rated surge, directly linked to clamping voltage of 41.4 V |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without thermal shutdown |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - protects against negative transients only; cathode marked by band |
| Package | MPG06 - surface-mount DO-214AC variant with 0.125" lead spacing and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker compliance |
Pinout & Package
MPG06 is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with axial lead configuration: anode and cathode leads extend from opposite ends of the molded epoxy body. The cathode is identified by a color band near one lead end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; forms clamping path with cathode |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; marked with band | Connected to higher-potential side (e.g., VCC rail); reverse-biased during transient events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Same VWM (25.6 V) and VBR range, but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (48.4 V), SMA package | Less compact footprint; lower thermal mass reduces surge endurance in repetitive scenarios | Acceptable where board space allows larger SMA and clamping voltage margin ≥7.0 V is acceptable |
| SMCJ30A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM/VBR, larger SMC package, higher IPPM (43.4 A) | Over-specified for single-event protection; requires more PCB area and higher cost | Preferred only when system-level testing demands >1000 W surge headroom or extended pulse duration handling |
Compared with SMAJ30A and SMCJ30A, the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 qualification, MPG06 footprint efficiency, and precise 41.4 V clamping-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs where reliability and thermal stability are prioritized over raw power rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 41.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 9.7 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the datasheet and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream ICs and power devices. The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD per JESD22 standards. This qualification confirms its suitability for use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 also meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-30AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, while "/54" specifies tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch reels with 5500 units per reel. This packaging format supports automated SMT placement and ensures consistent lead coplanarity. The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 is supplied in this configuration for high-volume manufacturing.
Can the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the FEATURES section of the datasheet. It protects against negative transients on the cathode side relative to anode and cannot suppress positive-going surges on the anode side. For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ30CA would be required. The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 must be oriented with the cathode band toward the protected voltage rail.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TMPG06-30AHE3/54 above 25 °C ambient?
The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 follows the derating curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet: peak pulse power decreases linearly from 100 % at 25 °C to ~50 % at 125 °C junction temperature. At 75 °C lead temperature (TL), its steady-state power dissipation is limited to 1.0 W on an infinite heatsink. Designers must apply thermal modeling or empirical testing to ensure TJ remains ≤185 °C under worst-case surge repetition. The TMPG06-30AHE3/54 supports this via its high TJ max rating.
