Product details
Overview
TMPG06-43AHE3/54 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 400 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), 40.9–45.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 36.8 V maximum working voltage (VWM), 59.3 V clamping voltage at 6.7 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-43AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-43AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-43AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, high-temperature junction stability up to +185 °C, low incremental resistance, and RoHS-compliant, whisker-tested matte tin terminations in the MPG06 package.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, responding within picoseconds to fast-rising transients induced by inductive switching or ESD events. Its unidirectional polarity enables integration into DC-biased circuits where reverse conduction must be blocked until clamping threshold is exceeded.
The device uses a passivated silicon junction encapsulated in UL 94 V-0 epoxy (MPG06 case), with thermal derating defined per Fig. 2 and pulse capability validated per IEC 61000-4-5 surge waveform standards. It sustains 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits 0.101 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient.

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 VWM (36.8 V) and VC (59.3 V), but lower PPPM (400 W same), SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; less suitable for sustained high-temperature ambient (>125 °C) | Select when board area is critical and thermal management ensures TL ≤ 75 °C |
| TPSMF43A | Same electrical specs, but SOD-123FL package with gull-wing leads; higher IFSM (100 A), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Used in consumer/industrial designs requiring higher surge margin but not automotive certification | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications needing enhanced surge endurance |
Compared with SMAJ43A and TPSMF43A, the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 delivers verified AEC-Q101 compliance and superior thermal robustness in the axial MPG06 package-critical for automotive under-hood placement where lead temperature and long-term reliability are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-43AHE3/54 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 59.3 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 6.7 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 in the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The TMPG06-43AHE3/54 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +185 °C, RoHS-compliant construction, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker-tested leads meet stringent automotive reliability requirements. The TMPG06-43AHE3/54 is listed in Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualified product table under Document Number 88404.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix indicate in TMPG06-43AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified packaging with matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, while "/54" refers to Vishay's internal tape-and-reel packaging configuration (13" diameter reel, 5500 units per reel, C-code carrier tape). This full suffix confirms the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 meets both environmental and automotive qualification standards required for production deployment.
How does the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The TMPG06-43AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, meaning it blocks reverse current until breakdown and conducts only in the forward direction during clamping. Unlike bidirectional variants, it cannot protect AC or dual-polarity signals-but offers lower leakage (<1 µA at VWM) and tighter VBR tolerance for DC rails. For 36.8 V DC systems like automotive battery feeds, the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 provides superior noise immunity and lower standby power loss than bidirectional equivalents.
What is the maximum allowable lead temperature during soldering for the TMPG06-43AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-43AHE3/54 supports solder dip at a maximum temperature of 275 °C for up to 10 seconds, per JESD 22-B106. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 for solderability. Reflow profiles must stay within Vishay's recommended thermal limits to avoid epoxy cracking or junction degradation-verified in the TMPG06-43AHE3/54 qualification testing per Document Number 88404.
