Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3/54 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 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, enabling reliable protection of MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-36AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM, 0.099 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of 10/1000 µs transients without sacrificing system-level timing integrity.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains specified clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C junction range and supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 %. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 34.2 V / 37.8 V - Ensures precise turn-on threshold above normal operating rail (e.g., 24 V automotive systems). |
| VWM | 30.8 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage rises; compatible with 24 V nominal bus designs. |
| IPPM (10/1000 µs) | 8.0 A - Sustains defined surge energy without degradation; validated per Fig. 3 waveform. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤49.9 V - Clamped voltage limits stress on downstream ICs (e.g., MCU I/O or gate drivers). |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power rating enables protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. |
| TJ max | +185 °C - Supports under-hood automotive placement and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive electronic components (HTOL, TC, HTRB). |

| 185 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports mounting near heat sources (e.g., power converters) without derating penalties. |
| Low 1.0 µA leakage @ VWM | Minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems such as telematics or alarm controllers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A | Same VWM (30.8 V) and VC (49.9 V), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ series' 400 W), identical MPG06 footprint, no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable for industrial/commercial boards where qualification is not mandated. | Select SMAJ36A only if AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs automotive traceability requirements. |
| SMCJ36A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-214AB package, same VWM/VC, AEC-Q101 qualified, but 2.5× footprint area and higher thermal mass. | Used where higher surge margin is required (e.g., alternator output lines), but incompatible with space-constrained MPG06 layouts. | Choose SMCJ36A only when board real estate allows and 1500 W surge handling is explicitly required-otherwise, TMPG06-36AHE3/54 offers optimal size/performance balance. |
Compared with SMAJ36A and SMCJ36A, TMPG06-36AHE3/54 delivers AEC-Q101 assurance in the smallest qualified footprint, making it the preferred choice for space-limited automotive modules needing verified reliability without over-engineering surge capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 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 Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage stress during transient events. The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed all required stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB). This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and body electronics where reliability under harsh thermal and electrical conditions is mandatory. The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 meets these requirements as documented in Vishay's official qualification report referenced in datasheet revision 17-Sep-2021.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-36AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads that pass JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, while "/54" specifies tape-and-reel packaging in 13-inch diameter reels with a base quantity of 5500 units. This packaging format ensures automated pick-and-place compatibility and long-term storage stability. The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 uses this exact delivery mode per Vishay's ordering information table in Document Number 88404.
How does the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 compare to the TMPG06-33AHE3/54 in terms of voltage ratings?
The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 has a higher breakdown voltage range (34.2–37.8 V) and stand-off voltage (30.8 V) than the TMPG06-33AHE3/54 (31.4–34.7 V VBR, 28.2 V VWM), making it better suited for 24 V systems with wider tolerance margins or higher transient overshoot. Both share identical power ratings (400 W), clamping behavior, and package. The TMPG06-36AHE3/54 provides tighter margin against false triggering in noisy 24 V environments while maintaining the same physical and thermal design constraints.
Can the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-36AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet under FEATURES. It conducts in reverse bias above VBR but blocks forward current beyond its 3.5 V maximum forward voltage at 25 A. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential buses), a separate symmetric TVS pair or a dedicated bidirectional device like SMBJ36CA must be used. The TMPG06-36AHE3/54's polarity is fixed and marked by a cathode band.
