Product details
Overview
TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is an automotive-grade unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in MPG06 package, featuring 7.13 V to 7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 26.5 V clamping voltage at 500 A peak pulse current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for engine control units and sensor protection.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25 °C, stand-off voltage margin relative to system rail, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction for stable high-temperature operation up to +185 °C junction temperature and low incremental surge resistance. It delivers repeatable clamping response with <1 ns typical response time and maintains ≤1 µA reverse leakage at 6.40 V stand-off voltage (VWM) at 25 °C.
Designed for automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing. Its 10.0 V stand-off voltage provides 33 % margin above a nominal 7.5 V rail, enabling robust protection of CAN transceivers and microcontroller I/O lines against load dump and inductive switching transients.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ7.5A | Lower peak pulse power (400 W same), but higher VC (27.8 V at 500 A); SMA package, lower thermal mass | Less suitable for sustained surge environments due to smaller package thermal capacity | Select when board space is constrained and thermal cycling is minimal |
| TPSMA6L7.5A | Higher VBR tolerance (6.8–7.5 V), lower VC (24.5 V), but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Not approved for automotive under-hood use; limited to industrial or consumer applications | Select only for non-automotive designs requiring tighter clamping and lower leakage |
Compared with SMAJ7.5A and TPSMA6L7.5A, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 offers superior thermal robustness via MPG06 package, guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and optimized clamping ratio for 7.5 V rail systems-making it the preferred choice for production automotive electronics where reliability and qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range specified for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 has a minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) of 7.13 V and a maximum of 7.88 V at 10 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards. This tight 7.5 V nominal rating ensures predictable turn-on behavior in 7–8 V automotive subsystems, and the specification is validated across -65 °C to +185 °C operating temperature range. The TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 datasheet confirms this range in Table 1 under Electrical Characteristics.
Is TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as stated in the "Mechanical Data" section and footnote (1) of the Vishay document 88404. It undergoes stress testing including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased HAST to meet automotive reliability requirements. The HE3 suffix further denotes high-reliability automotive grade, and the TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 is intended for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules where qualification is mandatory.
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 26.5 V at 500 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 3 and Table 1 in the official datasheet, and reflects worst-case performance at TA = 25 °C. The clamping voltage remains stable across temperature due to the device's low temperature coefficient of VBR (0.061 %/°C), making TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 suitable for thermally demanding locations.
Does TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 have unidirectional or bidirectional polarity?
TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the Vishay datasheet: "Available in uni-directional polarity only." Its cathode is marked by a color band, and it conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events-protecting positive rails while blocking normal forward conduction. This architecture makes TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 appropriate for DC power line and signal line protection where polarity is fixed, unlike bidirectional variants used in AC or differential applications.
What packaging and reel format is used for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54?
TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54 ships in 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel packaging with a base quantity of 5500 units per reel, using package code "54" as shown in the Ordering Information table. The device is mounted in the MPG06 case (DO-216AA equivalent), and the HE3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. This packaging supports automated SMT placement and meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/54.
