Product details
Overview
TMPG06-43HE3/53 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 at 59.3 V under 6.7 A peak pulse current, and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - enabling robust protection of MOSFETs and sensor signal lines against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-43HE3/53 datasheet, TMPG06-43HE3/53 pinout, TMPG06-43HE3/53 application, or TMPG06-43HE3/53 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 36.8 V stand-off voltage, low 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM, 3.5 V max forward voltage at 25 A, and MPG06 package compatibility with high-temperature reflow and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
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 ESD or load-dump events. Its unidirectional polarity and cathode band marking ensure correct orientation in DC-biased protection paths.
The device is characterized per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, with derating curves for peak pulse power above 25 °C and validated surge capability up to 40 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine). Thermal design must account for 1.0 W steady-state dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 400 W - sustains automotive load-dump surges without degradation |
| Stand-off Voltage VWM | 36.8 V - blocks normal 36 V system operation while triggering above this threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage VBR | 40.9–45.2 V at 1 mA - defines precise clamping onset under controlled test conditions |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 59.3 V at 6.7 A IPPM - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case transient |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 1.0 µA at VWM, 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-critical systems |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +185 °C - supports under-hood automotive placement and industrial thermal cycling |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTRB, HTGB, and TCT |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPG06 - axial-leaded, molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; meets UL 94 V-0, JESD 22-B102 solderability, and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Cathode identified by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | DC return path for surge current | Connected to ground or low-impedance return in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Protected line input terminal | Connected to line being protected (e.g., 24 V supply rail); marked with color band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Temp Junction Rating | 185 °C maximum - enables placement near power converters and motors without thermal derating penalties |
| Low Clamping Ratio | VC/VBR ≈ 1.33 - minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream ICs during transient events |
| Solder Process Compatibility | 275 °C / 10 s max solder dip - supports standard wave and selective soldering without delamination |
| Stable Breakdown TC | +0.101 %/°C - predictable VBR drift across operating temperature range |
| Fast Response Time | <1 ns - activates before sensitive components experience damaging overvoltage |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Sensor Signal Lines |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V supply rails in engine control units against ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between battery feed and DC-DC converter input.

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 VBR range (40.9–45.2 V), but SMA package (surface-mount); lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (64.8 V) | Requires PCB redesign for SMD layout; better suited for space-constrained consumer boards vs. axial-leaded industrial wiring | Select SMAJ43A only when automated assembly and board density outweigh lead-forming flexibility. |
| P6SMB43A | Same VWM (36.8 V) and VC (64.8 V), but DO-214AA package; higher IFSM (100 A), lower thermal resistance | Better for high-repetition surge environments (e.g., factory automation); requires different mounting and strain relief | Choose P6SMB43A where surge repetition rate exceeds 0.01% duty cycle or thermal management is critical. |
Compared with SMAJ43A and P6SMB43A, the TMPG06-43HE3/53 offers axial-leaded mechanical robustness, AEC-Q101 validation for automotive use, and optimized thermal performance in through-hole power-line placements - making it preferred for high-reliability wired interconnects where lead-forming and serviceability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TMPG06-43HE3/53 under peak pulse conditions?
The TMPG06-43HE3/53 has a maximum clamping voltage VC of 59.3 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current IPPM of 6.7 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and guarantees that downstream circuitry remains below destructive overvoltage thresholds during standardized surge events.
Is the TMPG06-43HE3/53 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-43HE3/53 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT). Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix make it suitable for under-hood and powertrain-related automotive systems.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in TMPG06-43HE3/53?
The "HE3" suffix denotes Vishay's standard RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 22-B102 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements. It also signifies AEC-Q101 qualification and UL 94 V-0 molding compound - all confirmed in the official 88404 datasheet revision dated 17-Sep-2021.
Can the TMPG06-43HE3/53 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, the TMPG06-43HE3/53 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in the datasheet features section. It must be installed with cathode toward the protected line and anode to ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS array or back-to-back configuration would be required - neither supported by the TMPG06-43HE3/53 itself.
What is the standoff voltage rating for TMPG06-43HE3/53, and how does it relate to system operating voltage?
The TMPG06-43HE3/53 has a maximum standoff voltage VWM of 36.8 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage. This allows safe use in nominal 24 V or 36 V systems where transient spikes exceed normal operation but must not trigger clamping during steady-state conditions.
