Product details
Overview
TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D 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 34.2–37.8 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, operating up to +185 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity, low incremental resistance, high-temperature stability, and compatibility with 13" tape-and-reel automated assembly for automotive-grade production.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with protected circuitry, activating when reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown threshold. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid energy diversion during transients induced by inductive switching or ESD events, while its 185 °C maximum junction temperature supports under-hood automotive environments.
The MPG06 package enables surface-mount integration with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the HE3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It is rated for repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 34.2 V / 37.8 V - defines precise activation threshold range for reliable clamping onset |

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-E3/5T | Same VWM (30.8 V) and VC (49.9 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W and smaller SMA package (lower thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suited for commercial-grade consumer or telecom use only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and board space is constrained |
| 1.5SMC36A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, same VWM/VC, DO-214AB package with larger footprint and higher IFSM = 100 A | Overqualified for typical 400 W needs; better for extreme industrial surge environments | Select when legacy DO-214AB layout exists or higher single-pulse robustness is mandated |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5T and 1.5SMC36A, the TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, MPG06 axial-leaded manufacturability, and precise 400 W clamping performance-making it optimal for new automotive designs requiring tape-and-reel SMT assembly and high-temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D?
The TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 1.0 mA test current, representing ±5% tolerance around the nominal 36 V rating. This tight distribution ensures consistent clamping behavior across production lots and supports predictable system-level overvoltage margin design in automotive applications where precise threshold control is critical.
Is TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the HE3 suffix certifies compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The device withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, supporting standard Pb-free reflow profiles without degradation of electrical or mechanical performance.
Does TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet. It protects against negative-going transients on the cathode side and conducts forward current during reverse-battery conditions. For bidirectional protection, two devices must be used in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ36CA should be selected instead.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D under full-rated surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-36AHE3_A/D 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 guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring downstream components see no more than 49.9 V during worst-case transient events-critical for safeguarding 40 V-rated power management ICs in automotive systems.
How does the MPG06 package differ from SMA or SMC packages in thermal performance?
The MPG06 package offers superior thermal performance compared to SMA due to its larger copper content and axial lead geometry, enabling higher power derating above 25 °C. Unlike surface-mount SMA/SMC, MPG06's through-hole-compatible leads provide enhanced mechanical robustness and lower thermal resistance to ambient-key for sustained 1.0 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C per Vishay's derating curve in Figure 5 of document 88404.
