Product details
Overview
TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is an automotive-grade unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in MPG06 package, with 7.13 V to 7.88 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 11.3 V clamping voltage at 500 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for engine control units and sensor protection.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 pinout, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 application, or TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 500 A surge, 185 °C max junction temperature, RoHS-compliant matte tin leads, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance for high-reliability automotive deployments.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses Vishay's patented PAR® construction for stable clamping under repetitive transients and operates exclusively in unidirectional polarity with a color-band cathode marking. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time enable effective suppression of inductive-switching spikes on 12 V automotive rails.
The device delivers 400 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform at 0.01 % duty cycle, with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient and full functionality up to 185 °C junction temperature-critical for under-hood electronics exposed to high-temperature cycling.
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 12.5 V clamping voltage at 500 A vs. 11.3 V for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; intended for commercial/industrial use only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and higher clamping voltage is acceptable |
| 1.5KE7.5A | Higher package thermal resistance; 1.5 kW peak power but through-hole TO-218; 12.0 V clamping at 500 A | Larger footprint and manual assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT automotive PCBs | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where board real estate and automated assembly are not constraints |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 is 11.3 V at 500 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and ensures protected circuits remain below critical logic thresholds during surge events. The TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade per its HE3 suffix. It undergoes rigorous stress testing-including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock-to meet automotive electronic module requirements. The TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 is explicitly rated for under-hood deployment up to +185 °C junction temperature.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate on TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73?
The "HE3" suffix on TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 denotes RoHS compliance, high-reliability construction, and AEC-Q101 qualification. It also confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance testing and matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. These attributes distinguish TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 from commercial-grade variants and validate its use in mission-critical automotive systems.
How does TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 differ from the non-A version (TMPG06-7.5)?
TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 has tighter VBR tolerance (7.13–7.88 V) versus TMPG06-7.5 (6.75–8.25 V), lower maximum leakage current (150 µA vs. 300 µA at VWM), and full AEC-Q101 qualification. The "A" variant also features enhanced thermal stability and is screened for automotive use, whereas TMPG06-7.5 is intended for general-purpose industrial applications. Both share identical package and pinout.
What is the maximum operating temperature for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73?
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ) for TMPG06-7.5AHE3/73 is +185 °C, with storage temperature spanning –65 °C to +185 °C. This rating enables reliable operation in high-temperature automotive locations such as engine compartments and transmission control units. Derating curves in the datasheet (Fig. 2 and Fig. 5) define safe power and current limits above 25 °C ambient.
