Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B 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 maximum working 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 current - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B application, or TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental resistance, fast response time, and unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking - critical for automotive-grade ESD and load-dump protection design validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (34.2–37.8 V). Its low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.34) and 0.099 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR ensure stable protection margins across temperature extremes.
It sustains repetitive 10/1000 µs transients at 0.01 % duty cycle and handles non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 40 A (IFSM). The MPG06 package supports soldering per J-STD-002 and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, confirming reliability under high-temperature, high-humidity automotive conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A | Same VWM (30.8 V) and VC (58.1 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC → 16 % less clamping efficiency | Less effective in tight-margin 24 V systems; requires larger layout margin due to higher clamping | Select when footprint compatibility with SMA package is prioritized over optimal clamping performance |
| SMCJ36A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), same VWM, but larger SMC package (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. MPG06's 3.18 × 2.54 mm) | Better for high-energy surges but incompatible with space-constrained automotive modules | Choose only if system-level surge testing exceeds 400 W and board area permits larger footprint |
Compared with SMAJ36A and SMCJ36A, the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B delivers superior clamping efficiency in a compact axial MPG06 package while maintaining AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for volume automotive ECUs where size, reliability, and precise voltage limiting are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations and high-ambient industrial enclosures. This rating is validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests and allows full-rated performance up to 150 °C ambient when properly heatsinked. The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B maintains stable VBR drift within its specified 0.099 %/°C coefficient across this range.
Is TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B is unidirectional only, with polarity marked by a cathode band. It conducts avalanche current only in reverse bias and blocks forward current like a standard diode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data buses), a separate symmetric TVS array or dedicated bidirectional device such as the SMBJ36CA is required. The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B must be oriented correctly in-circuit to avoid forward conduction failure.
What does the "HE3_A/B" suffix indicate in TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 for whisker resistance, while "_A/B" specifies the revision code per Vishay's internal change control - indicating minor process or test enhancements without functional or parametric deviation. Both revisions meet identical electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification, and mechanical dimensions. The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B is fully interchangeable across A and B revisions in production.
How does TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B perform under repeated surge stress?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B is rated for repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses at 0.01 % duty cycle (i.e., 1 pulse per 10,000 µs), ensuring sustained reliability in systems exposed to frequent switching transients. Its low incremental resistance and thermally robust MPG06 package prevent parameter shift after >1000 surge events under rated conditions. Data from Vishay's AEC-Q101 HTRB testing confirms no degradation in VBR, VC, or leakage for the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B after 1000 hours at 150 °C.
Can TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B replace older P6KE36A in existing designs?
Yes - the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B offers improved thermal performance (185 °C vs. 150 °C TJ max), AEC-Q101 qualification, and tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs. ±10 %) over P6KE36A, while matching its VWM (30.8 V), VC (49.9 V), and PPPM (400 W). However, the axial MPG06 package differs mechanically from P6KE's DO-15, requiring PCB layout verification. The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/B is not a drop-in replacement but a functionally superior upgrade with verified automotive suitability.
