Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C 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-fed ECUs, sensor interfaces, and MOSFET gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, AEC-Q101 qualification, 185 °C max junction temperature, low incremental resistance, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a clamping device that enters avalanche conduction when reverse voltage exceeds its specified VBR range (34.2–37.8 V), limiting transient-induced overvoltage to ≤49.9 V at 8.0 A IPPM. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating reflects standardized surge immunity testing per REA and ANSI/IEEE C62.35.
Designed for high-temperature stability, it maintains performance across –65 °C to +185 °C junction range and supports repetitive surges at 0.01 % duty cycle. The device uses passivated silicon junctions encapsulated in UL 94 V-0 epoxy within the MPG06 case, with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.

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-E3/5AT | Same VWM (30.8 V) and VC (58.1 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), smaller SMA package (lower IFSM = 30 A vs. 40 A) | Limited to lower-energy surges; not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for under-hood automotive use | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TPSMA6L36A | Higher VC (59.0 V), same VWM, AEC-Q101 qualified, but lower IPPM (6.8 A) and PPPM (300 W) | Provides less clamping margin; requires higher layout impedance to achieve same protection level | Choose only if supply chain constraints require TI-sourced parts and surge energy is confirmed ≤300 W |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6L36A, the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C delivers superior surge robustness (40 A IFSM, 185 °C TJ), AEC-Q101 validation, and MPG06 mechanical stability - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical automotive and industrial power-line protection where thermal margin and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C clamps to a maximum 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 at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. Designers must ensure downstream components tolerate this clamped voltage, especially in 24 V systems where headroom above nominal rail is limited. The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C achieves this with low incremental resistance and optimized junction design.
Is the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official documentation (Document Number: 88404). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD, validating its use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS modules. The device's 185 °C maximum junction temperature and robust MPG06 package further support under-hood deployment. TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C meets automotive reliability requirements without derating in most ambient conditions.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "A/C" specifies the revision code and packaging format: "A" is the revision level, and "C" indicates the preferred package code for 13-inch paper tape and reel delivery (5500 units per reel). This ordering designation ensures traceability, solderability compliance, and alignment with Vishay's material categorization per doc# 99912. TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C is supplied in this exact configuration.
How does the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in circuit protection?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, meaning it protects against positive-going transients on a referenced rail (e.g., battery line to ground) but blocks forward conduction below ~0.7 V. Unlike bidirectional variants, it avoids leakage paths in DC-coupled lines and provides tighter VWM/VBR control for asymmetric voltage rails. For applications like 24 V automotive inputs, this eliminates false triggering during normal negative transients. TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C is selected when polarity is fixed and clamping precision matters more than AC-line versatility.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C above 25 °C ambient?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C follows a linear derating curve for peak pulse power above TA = 25 °C, as shown in Figure 2 of its datasheet: power capability decreases by approximately 0.5 %/°C up to 175 °C. At 125 °C ambient, its 400 W PPPM rating drops to ~200 W. This behavior stems from junction temperature limits - the device's 185 °C TJmax allows continued operation where others fail. Designers using TMPG06-36AHE3_A/C in high-temp zones must apply this derating to ensure surge margin remains sufficient.
