Product details
Overview
TMPG06-39AHE3_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 and signal lines. It features a 37.1 V to 41.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 33.3 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 53.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.4 A peak pulse current, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed to safeguard MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity alignment with DC-biased protection paths, thermal stability up to +185 °C junction temperature, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR (37.1–41.0 V), it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its low incremental resistance ensures minimal voltage overshoot during high-current surges up to 7.4 A (10/1000 µs).
Rated for continuous operation from –65 °C to +185 °C, it maintains stable VBR with a +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient and supports repetitive surge duty cycles ≤0.01 %. The MPG06 package enables surface-mount assembly with JESD 22-B106-compliant soldering (275 °C, 10 s max).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V - defines precise avalanche initiation window for reliable overvoltage triggering without false trips |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises; sets safe DC bias margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 7.4 A - clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's peak stress level |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak transient power handling capability; validates protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a-level events |
| IFSM | 40 A - 8.3 ms single half-sine surge rating; supports motor drive and relay coil suppression |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating enables under-hood and high-power industrial deployment |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - matches DC-biased power rail or signal line protection where reverse conduction is not required |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.100" (2.54 mm) lead pitch, cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lowest potential node; completes shunt path during avalanche conduction |
| Cathode | High-side transient input terminal | Connected to protected line; receives surge energy and initiates clamping when VWM exceeded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD47 |

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and inductive kickback during relay or solenoid switching. IC Role / Device Role: Shunt TVS placed between power rail and ground to clamp transients below MOSFET drain-source breakdown. Use Value: Withstands 400 W surges and maintains VC = 53.9 V, ensuring protected MCU power supply remains within 5.5 V tolerance of its 5 V LDO output. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure/temperature sensors connected to PLC analog input cards. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS on signal line to suppress ESD and fast transients while preserving DC accuracy. Use Value: Low leakage (<1 µA at VWM) avoids loading sensor output impedance; 53.9 V clamping prevents op-amp input stage damage. |
| Telecom DC Power Input Protection | Consumer Appliance Motor Drive Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 48 V PoE-powered network switches against lightning-induced surges on DC input lines. IC Role / Device Role: Primary-stage TVS on DC input before DC/DC converter to absorb bulk surge energy. Use Value: 40 A IFSM rating handles repetitive 8.3 ms surges; 185 °C TJ allows mounting near heatsinks without thermal shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Clamping back-EMF spikes from brushed DC motors in washing machines and HVAC blowers. IC Role / Device Role: Across-motor TVS to limit voltage reversal and protect driver FETs during commutation. Use Value: Fast <1 ns response captures sub-microsecond spikes; 33.3 V VWM accommodates 24 V nominal motor supply with 10 % tolerance. |
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 | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VBR = 40–44.4 V, VC = 58.1 V at 6.9 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Less effective clamping margin for 33.3 V rails; suited for space-constrained consumer designs, not under-hood automotive | Select when board area is critical and peak clamping voltage >55 V is acceptable for protected circuitry |
| 1.5SMC39A | Same VBR/VC range, but higher PPPM (1500 W), DO-214AB package; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Over-specified for 400 W needs; lacks automotive reliability validation and whisker resistance | Prefer for industrial mains-connected equipment where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and higher surge headroom is required |
Compared with SMAJ36A-E3/5AT and 1.5SMC39A, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C delivers optimal balance of automotive-grade reliability, precise 33.3 V standoff, and 53.9 V clamping in a thermally robust MPG06 package - making it the preferred choice for AEC-Q101–mandated 12 V/24 V system protection where layout space and thermal management are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C under standard test conditions?
The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform with a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.4 A. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during surge events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for safe margining of downstream components such as MOSFETs and microcontrollers in the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C design.
Is TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and accelerated life testing required for automotive electronic components. Its construction - including JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-resistant matte tin leads and UL 94 V-0 molding compound - meets automotive manufacturing and reliability standards. Engineers specifying TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C for engine control units or ADAS modules can rely on its validated performance in vehicular environments.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101–qualified construction with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and matte tin plating. "A/C" specifies the revision code (A) and packaging format: 13" diameter paper tape and reel, 5500 units per reel. This ordering designation ensures traceability to the exact material set and assembly process used for TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C, critical for automotive PPAP documentation and production consistency.
Can TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet's FEATURES section. It conducts in reverse avalanche mode above VBR but blocks forward current like a standard diode. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ33CA) or back-to-back unidirectional configuration would be required - TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C alone cannot suppress positive- and negative-going transients on the same node.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C?
Vishay does not publish RθJL for TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C in the provided datasheet. Instead, thermal performance is characterized via the power derating curve (Fig. 5), which shows 1.0 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C on an infinite heatsink. Designers should use the specified TJ max. of +185 °C and apply layout-based thermal modeling - e.g., copper pour area and thickness - to estimate actual junction temperature rise in their PCB implementation of TMPG06-39AHE3_A/C.
