Product details
Overview
TMPG06-39AHE3_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 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 protect MOSFETs and sensor interfaces against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D datasheet, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D pinout, TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D application, or TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC-biased lines, 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, it avalanches rapidly (<1 ns response) to divert surge current away from downstream ICs. Its low incremental resistance ensures stable clamping across the specified 7.4 A IPPM, while the 0.100 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient enables predictable behavior over -65 °C to +185 °C.
The MPG06 package supports high-reliability mounting with JESD 22-B106-compliant soldering (275 °C, 10 s max) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its unidirectional polarity - marked by cathode band - restricts conduction to reverse-biased conditions, making it suitable for DC supply rail protection where forward conduction must be avoided.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 37.1 V / 41.0 V - defines minimum and maximum avalanche initiation threshold at 1.0 mA test current |
| VWM | 33.3 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 53.9 V at 7.4 A - clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits protected circuit stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per single 10/1000 µs waveform, duty cycle ≤ 0.01 % |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge rating (8.3 ms half-sine), supports inrush tolerance |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - conducts only in reverse bias; requires correct orientation on PCB |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 2.54 mm lead spacing, 3.18 mm body height, 2.29–2.54 mm diameter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of protected line; carries forward surge current up to 40 A |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction terminal | Marked by color band; connected to higher-potential side; initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock |
| 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Withstands high-energy transients common in 12 V/24 V vehicle systems without degradation |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.38) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping, reducing stress on downstream MOSFETs and sensors |
| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Prevents tin whisker growth under thermal cycling, critical for long-life automotive modules |
| High TJ max. (+185 °C) | Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters) without derating concerns |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36AHE3_A/H | Lower VBR (36.0–40.0 V), same MPG06 package, 600 W PPPM | Better suited for 36 V nominal systems; higher power rating but slightly reduced thermal margin at TJ = 185 °C | Select when higher surge margin is required and system VWM allows ≤32.4 V standoff |
| SMCJ36AHE3_A/H | Larger SMC package, 1500 W PPPM, VBR 36.0–40.0 V, same AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires PCB area increase; used where 400 W is insufficient and layout permits larger footprint | Choose for high-energy industrial motor drives where MPG06 thermal limits are exceeded |
Compared with SMBJ36AHE3_A/H and SMCJ36AHE3_A/H, the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D offers optimal balance of compact MPG06 footprint, AEC-Q101 compliance, and precise 33.3 V standoff for 36 V automotive subsystems - delivering verified clamping at 53.9 V without overdesign or board space penalty.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 53.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 7.4 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in Vishay document 88404 and ensures protected circuits remain below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use, including engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its +185 °C maximum junction temperature, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and robust 400 W surge capability meet stringent automotive reliability requirements. The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D is referenced in Vishay's automotive-grade TVS portfolio documentation.
What does the "HE3_A/D" suffix indicate in TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, plus JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "A/D" indicates the revision code per Vishay's ordering nomenclature - confirming the device meets the specifications in revision 17-Sep-2021 of document 88404. The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D is not a sample or engineering unit; it is a fully qualified production part.
Can the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D replace a bidirectional TVS in an existing design?
No - the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It cannot suppress positive-going transients on AC or bipolar signal lines. Substituting it for a bidirectional TVS would leave the circuit vulnerable to forward surges. For bidirectional protection, a dedicated part such as SMBJ36CAHE3_A/H must be selected. The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D is intended exclusively for DC-biased applications.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D?
The TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 1.0 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, per Figure 5 in Vishay document 88404. This rating applies to continuous DC or low-duty-cycle operation - not transient suppression. Derating is required above 75 °C lead temperature, and the TMPG06-39AHE3_A/D must not be operated beyond its 1.0 W thermal limit in sustained power applications.
