Product details
Overview
DM5W26AQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3600W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218 (Type E) package, designed for automotive load dump and ISO7637-2 surge protection. It features 26V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 42.1V max clamping voltage at 86A peak pulse current (10/1000µs), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications.
For engineers reviewing the DM5W26AQ-13 datasheet, DM5W26AQ-13 pinout, DM5W26AQ-13 application, or DM5W26AQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 86A, thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1°C/W), ISO16750-2 Pulse A/B compliance, and heatsink-anode polarity configuration in high-power automotive power rail protection.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates with anode-connected heatsink polarity and delivers 3600W non-repetitive peak pulse power at TA = +25°C, derating linearly above that temperature per Figure 1. Its 26V VRWM and 28.9–31.9V VBR range ensure precise overvoltage thresholding for 24V nominal automotive systems.
The device sustains 500A IFSM (8.3ms half-sine) and exhibits low 10µA max reverse leakage at VRWM up to +175°C junction temperature. Its 1.1°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to PCB copper pour or metal heatsinks for effective transient energy dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 26V - Stable reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; sets minimum system operating margin for 24V automotive rails. |
| VBR @ IT=5mA | 28.9–31.9V - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPP=86A | 42.1V - Maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| PPK | 3600W - Peak pulse power handling capability; meets ISO16750-2 Load Dump requirement for 24V systems. |
| RθJC | 1.1°C/W - Low thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink; critical for sustained surge duty cycles. |
| TJ Range | −55°C to +175°C - Full automotive temperature coverage; supports engine bay placement without derating. |
| IFSM | 500A - Surge current rating for 8.3ms half-sine waveform; validates robustness against alternator load dump events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-218 (Type E), surface-mount molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), heatsink tab serves as anode terminal. Polarity marked by cathode bar on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Heatsink Tab) | Positive surge current path | Electrically connected to large metal tab; must be soldered to thermal pad or heatsink for RθJC performance. |
| Cathode (Lead) | Negative surge current path | Standard lead termination; connects to protected line (e.g., battery feed); clamping occurs between this and anode. |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller, CAN transceivers, and analog sensors from alternator load dump surges during ignition cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery feed and local DC/DC input; clamps transients within 10ns to limit voltage excursion to ≤42.1V. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3V/5V LDOs and MCU I/Os by holding rail voltage below 45V during 3600W surge events. | Use Scenario: Shields LIN bus transceivers, door lock actuators, and lighting drivers from ISO7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive switch-off) and Pulse 3b (capacitive discharge). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted directly at BCM main power entry point; absorbs negative-going transients with 10µA leakage at 26V to minimize standby current loss. Use Value: Maintains functional safety integrity by limiting transient-induced reset events and ensuring continuous communication during vehicle power cycling. |
| ADAS Camera Power Supply | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver |
Use Scenario: Safeguards image sensor and SerDes interface from battery line transients during start-stop operation and jump-start conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed upstream of buck converter; clamps 10/1000µs surges to 42.1V while sustaining 86A peak current without thermal runaway. Use Value: Eliminates video corruption or frame loss caused by supply rail collapse during ISO16750-2 Pulse A (load dump) events. | Use Scenario: Protects H-bridge gate drivers and current sense amplifiers from inductive kickback during EPS motor commutation and emergency shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Connected across motor driver high-side supply rail; conducts surge current through heatsink tab to ground plane with 1.1°C/W thermal path. Use Value: Avoids false overcurrent faults and MOSFET short-circuit failures by limiting voltage overshoot to <45V during 500A IFSM-rated switching events. |

FAQ
What is the correct PCB layout for optimal thermal performance of DM5W26AQ-13?
The anode (heatsink tab) must be soldered to a minimum 250 mm² copper area (2 oz thickness) with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to inner ground planes. Pad dimensions follow Diodes' DO-218 Type E outline: 13.5mm × 8.5mm tab with 3.5mm × 11.0mm recommended stencil aperture. Avoid solder mask over the tab to maximize thermal conduction.
Does DM5W26AQ-13 support bidirectional surge suppression?
No - DM5W26AQ-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode with anode-connected heatsink polarity. It protects only against positive transients on the cathode line relative to the anode/heatsink. For bidirectional protection, a separate device or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., DM5W26BQ-13) is required.
How does DM5W26AQ-13 perform under repeated surge stress?
Per DS41000 Rev. 7–2, it withstands up to 4 pulses per minute at rated PPK (3600W) without parameter shift, provided TC ≤ +25°C and thermal design maintains TJ ≤ +175°C. Derating curves (Figure 1 & 2) show 2800W capability at TC = +100°C, confirming suitability for cyclic under-hood environments.
Is DM5W26AQ-13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec above 217°C). Matte tin plating ensures solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and UL 94V-0 molding compound resists thermal cracking during thermal cycling.
