Product details
Overview
TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is an automotive-grade unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, designed for clamping inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges. It features a 6.12–7.48 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 40 A peak forward surge current (IFSM), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive electronics protection.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 application, or TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (27.8 V at 1000 A), low incremental surge resistance, high-temperature operation up to +185 °C junction, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker test.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs Vishay's patented PAR® construction for stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions and operates exclusively in unidirectional polarity, with cathode denoted by a color band. Its 10/1000 µs waveform rating supports automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 transient immunity requirements.
The device delivers fast response time (<1 ns), low dynamic impedance, and excellent thermal stability across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range. Its 1.0 W power dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C enables reliable operation in compact PCB layouts without active cooling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.8AHE3/52 | Same VBR range (6.45–7.14 V), lower PPPM (600 W), SMB package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Better suited for non-automotive industrial designs where board space allows larger package and higher surge margin is needed | Select when higher single-pulse energy handling is required and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory |
| 1.5KE6.8A | Through-hole DO-201 package, same VBR, 1500 W PPPM, but no AEC-Q101 qualification or JESD201 whisker testing | Applicable only in legacy through-hole designs or cost-sensitive consumer products without automotive reliability demands | Choose only for non-automotive, non-surface-mount applications where manual assembly is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ6.8AHE3/52 and 1.5KE6.8A, TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 offers optimized surface-mount form factor, AEC-Q101 validation, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance-making it the preferred choice for new automotive and high-reliability industrial designs requiring compact, qualified TVS protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.8 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 1000 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and ensures downstream components like microcontrollers or gate drivers remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events.
Is the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (HE3 suffix). It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and solderability validation to meet automotive under-hood requirements.
What does the HE3 suffix indicate for the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73?
The HE3 suffix on TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 denotes RoHS compliance, high-reliability automotive qualification (AEC-Q101), and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It confirms the device meets stringent automotive manufacturing and long-term reliability standards for lead-free reflow assembly.
Can the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 is available in uni-directional polarity only, as explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet. For bidirectional transient suppression, a separate dual-diode configuration or a dedicated bi-directional TVS such as SMBJ6.8CAHE3/52 would be required.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the TMPG06-6.8HE3/73?
The TMPG06-6.8HE3/73 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) of +185 °C, enabling reliable operation in high-temperature environments such as engine control modules and power inverters where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
