Product details
Overview
5.0SMDJ24A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and I/O interfaces. It delivers 5000W peak pulse power at 10/1000μs, clamps transients to 38.9V at 129A, and features a 24V working standoff voltage with <2μA leakage. Used in AC/DC power supplies and industrial control I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5.0SMDJ24A datasheet, 5.0SMDJ24A pinout, 5.0SMDJ24A application, or 5.0SMDJ24A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 38.9V), breakdown voltage range (26.7–29.5V), thermal resistance (RθJL = 16°C/W), unidirectional polarity, and DO-214AB package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
The 5.0SMDJ24A employs a stacked-die construction in a DO-214AB (SMC) package to achieve high peak pulse power handling while maintaining low clamping ratio. Its photo-glass passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and fast response (<1.0ps), critical for protecting sensitive downstream circuitry from ESD and lightning-induced surges.
Designed for unidirectional operation, it exhibits forward voltage of 5V at 100A and operates across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature. Thermal performance is characterized with RθJA = 61°C/W on a 16mm × 16mm copper pad, supporting reliable power dissipation in compact industrial PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 26.7 V / 29.5 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA test current, defining turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPP | 38.9 V - Clamped voltage at 129 A peak impulse current, limiting stress on protected ICs |
| PPPM | 5000 W - Peak pulse power handling capability per 10/1000 μs waveform, enabling robust surge immunity |
| IIB @ VWM | <2 μA - Ultra-low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| RθJL | 16 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper during repetitive surges |
| αVBR | 0.101 mV/°C - Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage supports stable clamping over industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC) - Surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and cathode band polarity marking. Weight: 0.300 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked by band | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24V rail or signal line) to clamp positive transients to VWM + VC margin |
Key Features

| Clamping voltage ≤38.9V | Keeps downstream 24V logic or MCU I/O pins below absolute maximum ratings during 129A transients |
| Fast response time <1.0ps | Responds before most semiconductor junctions can be damaged by ESD or fast-rising lightning surges |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and process complexity |
| Stacked die construction | Increases surge current capacity and thermal mass while retaining standard DO-214AB footprint |
Applications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting digital input modules in programmable logic controllers from induced surges on field wiring.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24A | Lower peak power (600W vs. 5000W); same DO-214AA package; higher clamping voltage (43.5V) | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to low-energy ESD or secondary protection | Select only when surge threat level is ≤1kV and space constraints prohibit DO-214AB |
| SMCJ24A | Same 5000W rating and DO-214AB package; slightly higher clamping (39.4V vs. 38.9V); identical VWM/VBR range | Direct functional replacement with negligible performance trade-off; widely stocked alternative | Preferred when seeking second-source availability without design change or layout adjustment |
Compared with SMBJ24A and SMCJ24A, the 5.0SMDJ24A offers the lowest clamping voltage in its 5000W class and is optimized for high-reliability industrial 24V systems where voltage margin to protected ICs is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 5.0SMDJ24A under peak surge conditions?
The 5.0SMDJ24A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 129 A per the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. Designers must verify that downstream components tolerate this clamped voltage with sufficient margin.
Is the 5.0SMDJ24A suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 5.0SMDJ24A is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for suppressing positive-going transients on DC lines referenced to ground. It does not protect against negative excursions beyond its forward voltage (5 V at 100 A). For bidirectional protection, a dedicated bidirectional part such as 5.0SMDJ24CA or separate back-to-back unidirectional devices are required.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for the 5.0SMDJ24A?
The 5.0SMDJ24A is rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions (≤30°C / 85% RH) without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates pre-conditioning steps in SMT assembly and reduces risk of popcorning during reflow.
How does the thermal performance of the 5.0SMDJ24A compare to smaller-package TVS diodes?
The 5.0SMDJ24A achieves RθJL = 16°C/W and RθJA = 61°C/W when mounted on a 16 mm × 16 mm copper pad, significantly outperforming DO-214AA (SMB) or SOD-123 packages. This allows sustained energy dissipation and better survivability during repetitive surge events typical in industrial motor control environments.
Can the 5.0SMDJ24A be used in automotive applications?
The 5.0SMDJ24A is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is not recommended for automotive powertrain or safety-critical systems. While its -55°C to +175°C operating range overlaps with some automotive ambient requirements, TSC explicitly states these devices are not designed for medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications - a category that includes automotive ADAS and engine control.
