Product details
Overview
TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is an automotive-grade unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in MPG06 package, featuring 9.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR min/max: 8.65 V / 9.55 V), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.4 V clamping voltage at 50 A IPPM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for engine control and sensor protection.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 datasheet, TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 pinout, TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 application, or TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 equivalent, key selection factors include its 13.4 V maximum clamping voltage at rated current, 0.068 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 7.78 V stand-off, and RoHS-compliant HE3 suffix with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses Vishay's patented PAR® construction to deliver low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns) under transient events. It operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and maintains stable clamping performance up to 150 °C ambient due to its 0.068 %/°C VBR tempco.
Designed for high-reliability automotive environments, the device supports repetitive 10/1000 µs transients at 0.01 % duty cycle and withstands 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine). Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O and CAN transceiver pins from load dump and inductive switching spikes in gasoline/diesel ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping element placed between signal line and chassis ground. Use Value: Clamps transients to ≤22.4 V within nanoseconds, preserving 5 V logic integrity and preventing latch-up in MCU peripherals. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure, temperature, and position sensors exposed to battery rail coupling in ADAS modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage (7.78 V) isolates sensor supply from noise while enabling fast clamping during ESD or surge events. Use Value: 0.068 %/°C tempco ensures stable clamping margin across –40 °C to +125 °C operating range. |
| Body Control Module Power Input | Infotainment System Data Lines |
Use Scenario: Suppressing 12 V battery line transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) entering BCM power rails during alternator load dump. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end TVS on fused 12 V input, mounted before DC/DC converter. Use Value: 400 W rating handles 100 V/100 ms pulses without thermal runaway; 185 °C TJ max supports compact heatsink-free layout. | Use Scenario: Protecting LVDS or UART lines between head unit and display/touch controller against cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional clamp on differential pairs, grounded via short trace to local ground plane. Use Value: 1.0 µA leakage at 7.78 V avoids signal distortion; cathode-band polarity prevents misorientation during automated assembly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (23.3 V @ 50 A), SMA package (larger footprint, lower thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for industrial/commercial but not automotive under-hood use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal robustness requirements |
| TPSMF9.0A | Same VBR range, 200 W PPPM (half rating), SOD-123FL package (smaller, lower IPPM = 25 A) | Limited to low-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance | Choose only for space-constrained consumer electronics where full automotive surge immunity is not required |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A and TPSMF9.0A, the TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 delivers superior thermal endurance (185 °C TJ), AEC-Q101 validation, and tighter clamping (22.4 V vs. 23.3 V), making it the only option qualified for engine bay deployment with sustained 400 W transient handling.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 8.65 V (minimum) to 9.55 V (maximum) at 1 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in automotive 9–10 V nominal circuits without premature conduction during normal operation.
Is TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance?
Yes, the TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) protection with its 400 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs and 22.4 V clamping voltage at 50 A. Its 185 °C maximum junction temperature and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for under-hood deployment where Pulse 5a stress is most severe.
Does TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 have bidirectional capability?
No, TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 is unidirectional only, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88404. It protects against positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground), and must be oriented with the color band toward the protected line. Bidirectional variants are not offered in the TMPG06-A series.
What does the "HE3/54" suffix mean in TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, high-reliability automotive grade with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "/54" specifies packaging in 13" diameter paper tape and reel with 5500 units per reel. This matches Vishay's ordering code structure in Document 88404 and confirms full AEC-Q101 qualification for the TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 device.
How does the temperature coefficient affect clamping performance of TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54?
The TMPG06-9.1AHE3/54 has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.068 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. At 150 °C, VBR rises ~8.5 %, maintaining safe margin above 12 V system peaks while ensuring clamping remains effective across the full –65 °C to +185 °C operating range.
