Product details
Overview
LDP01-26AY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified automotive Transil™ TVS diode designed for load-dump protection in 12 V vehicle electrical systems. It features a 26 V nominal breakdown voltage (24.4–27.0 V), clamps to ≤36 V at 140 A (10/1000 µs), delivers 5.47 kW peak pulse power at Tj = 25 °C, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed across engine control units, body control modules, and infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LDP01-26AY datasheet, LDP01-26AY pinout, LDP01-26AY application, or LDP01-26AY equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/5b and ISO 16750-2 Test A/B compliance, low 1 µA leakage at 25 °C, D²PAK thermal resistance of 0.24 °C/W, and verified clamping performance under 150 V reverse surge conditions.
Technical Context
The LDP01-26AY is a unidirectional planar silicon avalanche diode optimized for transient overvoltage suppression during automotive load-dump events. Its structure enables stable breakdown at 26 V with <±5% tolerance, low dynamic impedance (64 mΩ), and predictable voltage temperature coefficient (9.6 × 10−4/°C).
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV), ISO 10605 (±30 kV), and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V), 2a (+112 V), 3a (−220 V), 3b (+150 V) - with clamping validated up to 140 A peak pulse current and full operation across −55 °C to +175 °C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 24.4–27.0 V at IR = 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on before downstream IC damage during 12 V system surges |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | ≤36 V at IPP = 140 A (10/1000 µs) - limits protected circuit voltage below 40 V threshold for most automotive MCUs |
| Peak Pulse Power | 5.47 kW at Tj = 25 °C - sustains ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) without thermal runaway |
| Leakage Current | ≤1 µA at VRM = 22 V, 25 °C - prevents battery drain in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood placement near engines and transmission ECUs |
| Dynamic Impedance | 64 mΩ - enables fast, low-voltage overshoot suppression during sub-microsecond transients |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive reliability - required for safety-critical power rail protection per OEM specs |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in JEDEC-registered D²PAK (TO-263AB) with exposed copper thermal pad for low Rth(j–c) = 0.24 °C/W. Anode and cathode terminals are accessible on the leads; both anodes must be connected per datasheet layout guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1 & 2) | Surge return path | Parallel anode connection required to handle full load-dump energy; ties to chassis ground or battery negative |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Protected line input | Connects to 12 V supply rail upstream of DC-DC converters or linear regulators |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional load-dump clamping | Stable 26 V breakdown with ±5% tolerance ensures consistent protection across production lots and temperature |
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous 175 °C junction operation - eliminates derating in high-ambient under-hood locations |
| Low-leakage planar technology | 1 µA max leakage at 22 V enables >10-year battery standby life in always-on telematics modules |
| ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/5b compliance | Validated clamping at 140 A (10/1000 µs) meets OEM requirements for alternator-induced surges up to 150 V |
| D²PAK thermal performance | 0.24 °C/W junction-to-case resistance allows direct PCB copper pour mounting for efficient heat dissipation |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Body Control Module (BCM) Supply Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive TVS load-dump protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ26A | Lower peak power (400 W), SMA package, Rth(j–c) not specified, 26 V VBR min 23.1 V | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to non-safety-critical cabin modules | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive industrial use where 175 °C operation and load-dump validation are unnecessary |
| SMCJ26A-Q | AEC-Q101 qualified, SMC package, 3.3 kW peak power, VCL = 42.1 V @ 113 A (10/1000 µs) | Higher clamping voltage reduces margin for 3.3 V logic rails; requires larger board area than D²PAK | Prefer when footprint constraints allow SMC and system design tolerates higher clamping voltage |
Compared with SMAJ26A and SMCJ26A-Q, the LDP01-26AY provides superior thermal management (0.24 °C/W), lower clamping (36 V vs. 42.1 V), and higher surge current capacity (140 A), making it optimal for compact, high-power automotive power rails requiring long-term under-hood reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of LDP01-26AY under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a conditions?
The LDP01-26AY clamps to ≤36 V at 140 A (10/1000 µs), which corresponds to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) with 300 ms duration and 0.5 Ω source impedance. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and remains ≤42 V at Tj = 175 °C using the published temperature coefficient of 9.6 × 10−4/°C.
Can LDP01-26AY replace LDP01-28AY in a design?
No - LDP01-26AY has a lower breakdown voltage range (24.4–27.0 V) versus LDP01-28AY (26.7–29.5 V), resulting in earlier conduction and potentially excessive leakage or premature clamping in 14 V nominal systems. Substitution requires revalidation of stand-off margin, clamping headroom, and thermal stress under worst-case load-dump.
Is the D²PAK package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the LDP01-26AY uses a RoHS- and halogen-free D²PAK package with UL 94 V0-rated epoxy resin. Lead finish is matte tin, and the device complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH.
How does the 175 °C junction rating impact PCB layout?
The 175 °C rating enables direct mounting on large copper pours without thermal derating - the D²PAK's 0.24 °C/W Rth(j–c) allows ≥50% higher power dissipation than SMC packages at same board area. Layout must expose the thermal pad fully, use ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter), and avoid solder mask over the pad to maintain thermal integrity.
