Product details
Overview
TMPG06-43AHE3/53 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 delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps at 59.3 V under 6.7 A peak pulse current, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature - qualified to AEC-Q101 for under-hood automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-43AHE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-43AHE3/53 application, or TMPG06-43AHE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36.8 V stand-off voltage, 40.9–45.2 V breakdown range at 1 mA, low 3.5 V forward voltage at 25 A, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-reliability PCB layouts requiring RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, enabling stable clamping under repetitive transients up to 0.01% duty cycle. Its low incremental resistance and fast response time ensure minimal overshoot during ESD or load-switching events.
The device is characterized for 10/1000 µs waveform compliance per R.E.A., with thermal derating defined from 25 °C to 175 °C and peak surge capability of 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It meets JESD 22-B106 solder dip (275 °C/10 s) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure in automotive load-dump or inductive switching events |
| Stand-off Voltage (VWM) | 36.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected circuit operating voltage |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 40.9–45.2 V at 1 mA - precise threshold where clamping initiates; ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 59.3 V at 6.7 A IPPM - maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case transient; defines safe margin for 48 V systems |
| Operating Temperature Range | -65 °C to +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial environments without derating loss |
| Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles high-current reverse-polarity or short-circuit surges without bond-wire failure |
| Leakage Current at VWM | 1.0 µA at 25 °C - negligible standby power loss and no interference with high-impedance sensor bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with cathode band marking; dimensions: 0.115–0.125" length × 0.023–0.026" diameter (2.92–3.18 mm × 0.584–0.66 mm); UL 94 V-0 rated; matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal in forward bias; connected to ground or lower-potential rail in unidirectional TVS configuration | Provides low-impedance path to ground during reverse-transient clamping; must be routed with minimal inductance |
| Cathode | Negative terminal; marked by color band; connected to protected line or supply rail | Receives transient energy and initiates avalanche breakdown when voltage exceeds VBR; determines polarity of protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-clamping TVS across driver output and ground to suppress ringing above 40 V. Use Value: Limits gate-source overvoltage to <60 V, avoiding driver output stage failure and unintended device turn-on. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ43A | Same 43 V VWM, but lower 400 W PPPM rating achieved at 1.5× larger SMA package; 1000x higher leakage (1000 µA) at VWM | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment | Select only if board space allows SMA footprint and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| TPSMD43A | Identical VWM/VBR/VC specs and AEC-Q101 qualification, but in SMD DO-214AB (SMC) package; 10% higher thermal resistance | Better for automated assembly; requires reflow profile validation due to higher mass; less suitable for through-hole prototyping | Prefer for volume production with pick-and-place; retain TMPG06-43AHE3/53 for legacy through-hole designs or high-vibration mounting |
Compared with SMAJ43A and TPSMD43A, the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, axial-leaded mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments, and ultra-low 1 µA leakage - making it optimal for automotive power modules where reliability, thermal stability, and layout simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 under standard test conditions?
The TMPG06-43AHE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 59.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.7 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events. The TMPG06-43AHE3/53 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of VBR (0.101 %/°C).
Is the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD verification. The TMPG06-43AHE3/53 is intended for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive systems operating from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature.
What does the "HE3/53" suffix indicate in TMPG06-43AHE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. The "/53" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 5500 units per 13-inch reel. This packaging format ensures compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment and supports high-volume manufacturing of the TMPG06-43AHE3/53.
How does the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 compare to the TMPG06-36AHE3/53 in terms of voltage ratings?
The TMPG06-43AHE3/53 has a higher voltage rating than the TMPG06-36AHE3/53: its breakdown voltage (VBR) spans 40.9–45.2 V versus 34.2–37.8 V, and its stand-off voltage (VWM) is 36.8 V versus 30.8 V. Both share identical 400 W peak pulse power and MPG06 package, but the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 is selected for 48 V systems where tighter margin above nominal rail voltage is required.
Can the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-43AHE3/53 is specified for unidirectional polarity only, as stated in the Vishay datasheet features section. Its internal structure supports clamping only during reverse-biased transients. For bidirectional protection, two devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the SMBJ43CA should be selected instead of the TMPG06-43AHE3/53.
