Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3/53 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 34.2 V to 37.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 8.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤49.9 V at rated surge - deployed on 12 V/24 V battery lines, sensor interfaces, and MOSFET gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-36AHE3/53 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 VBR threshold to divert transient energy away from sensitive components. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid response (<1 ns) and stable clamping under repetitive 10/1000 µs surges at 0.01% duty cycle.
The MPG06 package supports high thermal reliability: junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C, while solderability is validated per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, with HE3 suffix meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 34.2 V to 37.8 V - defines precise activation threshold for overvoltage clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-E3/5A | Same VWM (30.8 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (58.1 V), SMA package | Less effective clamping margin (ΔV = 27.3 V vs. 19.1 V for TMPG06-36AHE3/53) | Prefer TMPG06-36AHE3/53 where tighter clamping and AEC-Q101 qualification are required |
| 1.5SMC36A | Higher VC (58.1 V), larger SMC package, same VWM, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not suitable for automotive production; limited to industrial/commercial use | Choose TMPG06-36AHE3/53 for automotive OEM designs needing traceable qualification and compact MPG06 footprint |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5A and 1.5SMC36A, TMPG06-36AHE3/53 delivers superior clamping performance (19.1 V VC–VBR margin), certified automotive reliability, and space-efficient MPG06 packaging - making it optimal for safety-critical 24 V systems where voltage overshoot must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-36AHE3/53 at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-36AHE3/53 is 49.9 V when subjected to its rated 8.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream ICs. The TMPG06-36AHE3/53 achieves this with low dynamic impedance, ensuring minimal voltage overshoot during fast transients.
Is TMPG06-36AHE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-36AHE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and humidity testing required for automotive electronic components. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and HE3 whisker-resistant plating further validate its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted applications. Engineers specifying TMPG06-36AHE3/53 can rely on its documented qualification status for Tier 1 automotive designs.
What does the "HE3/53" suffix indicate in TMPG06-36AHE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements, essential for long-term solder joint reliability. The "/53" indicates tape-and-reel packaging in 5500-unit reels on 13-inch diameter cores - the standard delivery format for automated SMT assembly. Together, TMPG06-36AHE3/53 specifies both process reliability and logistics configuration.
How does TMPG06-36AHE3/53 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
TMPG06-36AHE3/53 is unidirectional only, meaning it protects against negative-going transients on the cathode side while blocking positive voltage up to its VBR. Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot suppress symmetrical surges (e.g., AC line noise). Its design targets DC systems like 12 V/24 V automotive supplies where polarity is fixed - offering lower leakage and tighter clamping than equivalent bidirectional parts. Use TMPG06-36AHE3/53 where circuit topology ensures defined polarity.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TMPG06-36AHE3/53 above 25 °C ambient?
TMPG06-36AHE3/53 follows a linear derating curve from 100% power at 25 °C ambient down to zero at 175 °C, per Figure 2 in Vishay document 88404. At 125 °C ambient, its peak pulse power capability remains ≥60% of rated 400 W. This behavior is enabled by its MPG06 package's low thermal resistance and 185 °C TJmax, allowing sustained operation in high-temperature zones such as engine compartments. Designers must apply this derating when calculating worst-case surge margins for TMPG06-36AHE3/53.
