Product details
Overview
TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in automotive and industrial power lines. It delivers 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamps transients up to 59.3 V at 6.7 A, and operates across -65 °C to +185 °C with AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed on 12 V/24 V battery rails and sensor signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C datasheet, TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C pinout, TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C application, or TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage (40.9–45.2 V), clamping performance under 6.7 A surge, unidirectional polarity, MPG06 package thermal robustness, and AEC-Q101 compliance for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a passivated silicon junction in a molded epoxy MPG06 case rated UL 94 V-0, optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental resistance to limit voltage overshoot during inductive switching events. Its 185 °C max junction temperature and 0.01 % duty cycle rating support sustained operation in engine bay and power distribution environments.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (+0.101 %/°C), enabling stable clamping across wide ambient ranges. With 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 40 A non-repetitive forward surge capability (8.3 ms half-sine), it handles both transient suppression and occasional overcurrent stress without degradation.
Key Specifications

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 (surface-mount, smaller footprint) | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where reflow assembly is used; lacks axial lead mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments | Select SMAJ43A when board area is limited and vibration exposure is low; verify thermal pad layout for 1.0 W dissipation |
| 1.5KE43A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), larger DO-201 package, same VBR range (40.9–45.2 V), but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for industrial mains-input protection where automotive qualification is unnecessary and higher surge margin is required | Choose 1.5KE43A for non-automotive 1500 W surge needs; avoid in AEC-Q101-mandated designs due to missing qualification |
Compared with SMAJ43A and 1.5KE43A, the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, axial-leaded mechanical stability, and precise 400 W/59.3 V clamping in the compact MPG06 form factor - making it optimal for automotive power distribution and high-reliability industrial interfaces where leaded mounting and qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 59.3 V at 6.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for protected circuits. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for downstream component voltage rating selection in designs using the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C.
Is the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 88404, Revision: 17-Sep-2021). This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - validating its use in automotive underhood modules such as body control units, lighting drivers, and power distribution centers where the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C is deployed for battery rail protection.
What does the "HE3_A/C" suffix indicate in TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C?
The "HE3_A/C" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction (HE3), AEC-Q101 qualification, and revision code "A" (first production revision), with "C" specifying the preferred package code for tape-and-reel delivery (5500 units per 13″ reel). This ordering designation ensures consistent material composition, whisker-resistant plating (JESD 201 Class 2), and traceable manufacturing lot control - all critical for production use of the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C in regulated industries.
How does the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C handle thermal dissipation in continuous operation?
The TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation on an infinite heatsink at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, with derating above that point per the published power derating curve. In practice, its axial-leaded MPG06 package relies on copper pour and lead thermal mass for transient energy absorption; continuous dissipation is limited by PCB layout - designers must ensure ≥25 mm² of 2 oz copper connected to each lead to sustain >0.5 W without exceeding 185 °C junction temperature in the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C.
Can the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C is unidirectional only, as clearly stated in the Vishay datasheet features section. Its electrical characteristics - including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and leakage current - are specified exclusively for reverse-biased operation. For bidirectional surge protection, a separate design using back-to-back unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., SMBJ43CA) is required; the TMPG06-43AHE3_A/C must not be assumed to function symmetrically in either polarity.
