Product details
Overview
MAPLAD36KP58AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for high-energy surge protection in aerospace and automotive power systems. It delivers 36 kW peak pulse power at 10/1000 μs, features a 58 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), clamps transients to ≤93.6 V at 385 A peak current, and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature - deployed in aircraft lightning protection per RTCA DO-160 Section 22.
For engineers reviewing the MAPLAD36KP58AE3 datasheet, MAPLAD36KP58AE3 pinout, MAPLAD36KP58AE3 application, or MAPLAD36KP58AE3 equivalent, this device is selected for secondary lightning protection (IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 with 2 Ω source), pin-injection immunity (RTCA DO-160F Waveform 4 Level 5), and load-dump suppression where low thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.0 °C/W) and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses an avalanche breakdown mechanism to clamp fast-rising transients, with breakdown voltage V(BR) specified at 64.4–71.2 V under 5 mA test current. Its metal-base cathode construction enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper or heatsinks, supporting high-repetition-rate surge handling when mounted on FR4 with recommended pad layout.
The device meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements and supports MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening options. It provides ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and RFI suppression while maintaining <10 μA standby current at VWM - essential for low-power monitoring circuits in avionics power distribution units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 58 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; matches 48 V nominal aircraft bus with safety margin. |
| V(BR) min/max | 64.4 V / 71.2 V @ 5 mA - defines precise avalanche onset range for predictable clamping threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 93.6 V max @ 385 A - limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 μs lightning surge. |
| PPP | 36,000 W @ 10/1000 μs - sustains multi-stroke lightning events without degradation. |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer from junction to case, critical for sustained surge duty cycles. |
| ID @ VWM | 10 μA max - ensures negligible leakage in always-on power monitoring paths. |
| TJ range | –55°C to +150°C - supports operation in engine bay or avionics bay environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAPLAD36KP58AE3 uses a thermally optimized surface-mount PLAD package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body and metal base acting as the cathode terminal. The package measures 12.32 × 10.54 × 5.08 mm (L × W × H) with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A | 600 W PPP rating, 58 V VWM, DO-214AA package, RθJC ≈ 40 °C/W | Lower energy handling; suitable only for single-stroke or low-duty-cycle transients | Select SMBJ58A only for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 36 kW capability is unnecessary. |
| SMCJ58A | 1500 W PPP rating, 58 V VWM, DO-214AB package, RθJC ≈ 15 °C/W | Lacks RTCA DO-160 qualification and AEC-Q101 validation; limited to commercial-grade systems | Choose SMCJ58A for non-safety-critical telecom power supplies needing moderate surge headroom. |
Compared with SMBJ58A and SMCJ58A, MAPLAD36KP58AE3 provides 24× and 24× higher peak pulse power respectively, validated thermal performance for high-repetition surges, and formal qualification for aerospace and automotive safety-critical systems - making it irreplaceable where multi-stroke lightning or load dump immunity is mandated.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MAPLAD36KP58AE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
MAPLAD36KP58AE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 93.6 V at its rated peak pulse current of 385 A under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that downstream circuitry sees no more than 93.6 V during worst-case surge events. The clamping performance is validated across the full operating temperature range and forms the basis for system-level overvoltage design margins in MAPLAD36KP58AE3 deployments.
Is MAPLAD36KP58AE3 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAPLAD36KP58AE3 is tested and qualified to AEC-Q101 for stress reliability in automotive environments. It meets requirements for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge endurance - making it suitable for engine control modules, battery management systems, and ADAS power supplies. The device's 58 V VWM and 93.6 V clamping align with 48 V mild-hybrid architectures, and its metal-base thermal design supports under-hood thermal profiles without derating.
How does the metal base of MAPLAD36KP58AE3 improve thermal performance?
The metal base of MAPLAD36KP58AE3 serves as both the cathode terminal and primary thermal conduction path, achieving a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of just 1.0 °C/W. This is over 40× better than standard SMD TVS diodes and allows rapid heat dissipation into PCB copper pours or external heatsinks. In practice, this enables MAPLAD36KP58AE3 to sustain repeated 36 kW surges without thermal runaway - a key requirement for RTCA DO-160 multi-stroke lightning testing.
Does MAPLAD36KP58AE3 meet RTCA DO-160F lightning protection requirements?
Yes, MAPLAD36KP58AE3 is explicitly rated for RTCA DO-160F Section 22 lightning-induced transient suppression. It achieves Level 5 pin-injection immunity for Waveform 4 (6.4/69 μs) up to 300 V VWM variants and supports multi-stroke testing per the standard's cumulative energy requirements. Its 36 kW peak pulse power, low clamping voltage, and validated thermal design make MAPLAD36KP58AE3 a preferred solution for aircraft power distribution units and avionics data acquisition systems.
What is the meaning of the 'E3' suffix in MAPLAD36KP58AE3?
'E3' in MAPLAD36KP58AE3 indicates RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per JEDEC J-STD-020B, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - meaning no dry-pack baking is required prior to reflow soldering. This suffix confirms full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free assembly processes. The 'E3' marking is laser-etched on the device body and verified through lot-level chemical analysis for every production batch of MAPLAD36KP58AE3.
