Product details
Overview
TMPG06-33HE3/53 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 31.4 V to 34.7 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 8.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤45.7 V at rated surge - deployed on engine control units, sensor interfaces, and 12 V/24 V DC systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-33HE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-33HE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-33HE3/53 application, or TMPG06-33HE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental resistance, fast response time, and compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR threshold to divert transient energy away from sensitive components. Its unidirectional polarity and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39–1.45) ensure predictable voltage limiting during ESD, load dump, and inductive switching events.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains full 400 W pulse capability up to 25 °C ambient and derates linearly above that per Figure 2, supporting operation up to TJ = 185 °C. The MPG06 package enables surface-mount assembly with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 31.4 V to 34.7 V - defines precise activation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering without false trips |
| VWM | 28.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly |
| IPPM (10/1000 µs) | 8.8 A - peak surge current it safely clamps without failure under standardized lightning/transient waveform |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤45.7 V - clamped voltage seen by downstream ICs/MOSFETs during worst-case surge, limiting stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - transient energy-handling capacity enabling protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b, and IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| TJ max | +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments and high-power industrial enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased clamping terminal | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail or CAN-H); color band identifies this end |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against severe transients like ISO 7637-2 Load Dump without external series impedance |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS modules requiring zero-failure field performance |
| HE3 suffix (JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test) | Ensures long-term solder joint integrity in high-vibration, high-temperature automotive assemblies |
| Low clamping voltage (VC/VBR ≤ 1.45) | Minimizes voltage overshoot across protected MOSFET gates or microcontroller I/O pins during clamping |
| 185 °C max junction temperature | Supports placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters, motor drivers) without thermal derating penalties |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial 24 V PLC Input Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VC (53.3 V), larger SMA package, non-AEC-Q101 | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; suited for commercial-grade industrial controls | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and board space allows SMA footprint |
| TPSMD33A | Same VBR/VWM, but higher PPPM (500 W), SMD package (DO-214AB), AEC-Q101 qualified | Better suited for automated SMT assembly; requires rework of pad layout vs. axial MPG06 | Prefer for new SMT designs needing higher surge margin and automotive compliance |
Compared with SMAJ33A and TPSMD33A, the TMPG06-33HE3/53 offers axial-leaded mechanical robustness, verified AEC-Q101 qualification, and optimized thermal path for through-hole mounting in high-vibration environments - making it ideal where legacy board design, serviceability, or mechanical retention outweigh SMT density benefits.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-33HE3/53?
The TMPG06-33HE3/53 has a specified breakdown voltage range of 31.4 V to 34.7 V at 1.0 mA test current (VBR), per Vishay Document 88404. This ±5% tolerance ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots while allowing margin for temperature drift and system-level tolerances in automotive 12 V networks.
Is TMPG06-33HE3/53 suitable for 24 V automotive systems?
Yes, TMPG06-33HE3/53 is suitable for 24 V automotive systems. Its 28.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM) provides adequate margin above nominal 24 V rails, and its 45.7 V clamping voltage remains below typical 24 V system absolute maximum ratings (e.g., 60 V for many power management ICs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for TJ = 185 °C.
Does TMPG06-33HE3/53 have bidirectional polarity?
No, TMPG06-33HE3/53 is unidirectional only. It conducts in forward bias like a standard diode and clamps in reverse bias above VBR. Bidirectional variants (e.g., TMPG06-33CA) are separate part numbers. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; incorrect orientation prevents proper clamping.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for TMPG06-33HE3/53?
The TMPG06-33HE3/53 supports solder dip at 275 °C maximum for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106. For reflow, follow Vishay's recommended profile aligned with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 - peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp rates and soak times adhering to JEDEC Class 3A limits.
How does the HE3 suffix affect TMPG06-33HE3/53 reliability?
HE3 denotes compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, confirming mitigation of tin whisker growth on matte tin-plated leads. This is critical for long-life automotive and industrial applications where whiskers could cause latent short circuits. TMPG06-33HE3/53 also meets AEC-Q101 requirements, including HTSL, TCT, and HTRB.
