Product details
Overview
MR2835SK from onsemi is a high-energy overvoltage transient suppressor diode designed for automotive load-dump protection in reverse avalanche mode, with 23 V DC blocking voltage, 400 A non-repetitive peak surge current, and 1.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - deployed to safeguard ignition, fuel injection, and autoblocking control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MR2835SK datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its top-can package mechanical robustness, 24–32 V breakdown at 100 mA, 62 A peak repetitive reverse surge capability, and Pb-free compliance per automotive qualification requirements.
Technical Context
This device operates exclusively in reverse-biased avalanche breakdown to clamp transients, not as a forward-conducting rectifier. Its 24–32 V V(BR) range at IZ = 100 mA and positive 0.09 %/°C temperature coefficient ensure predictable clamping under rising junction temperature during load-dump events.
Thermal design is critical: RJC = 1.0 °C/W enables effective heat transfer from junction to case, while the top-can (Case 460) package supports 150 N compression and 250 N shear loads - essential for under-hood mounting stability in automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DC Blocking Voltage | 23 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds specification; sets minimum system operating margin. |
| Breakdown Voltage (IZ = 100 mA) | 24–32 V - Clamping threshold range defining transient suppression onset; measured at 100 mA test current. |
| Non-Repetitive Peak Surge Current | 400 A - Single half-wave 50 Hz surge rating; defines maximum survivable load-dump energy without failure. |
| Peak Repetitive Reverse Surge Current | 62 A - Sustained 10 ms time-constant surge capability; used for repeated transient immunity validation. |
| Thermal Resistance (Junction-to-Case) | 1.0 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to heatsink or PCB copper; critical for power dissipation management. |
| Operating Junction Temperature | −40 to +150 °C - Full automotive ambient and self-heating range; validated for under-hood deployment. |
| Breakdown Tempco | 0.09 %/°C - Positive coefficient ensures higher clamping voltage at elevated temperature, preventing premature conduction. |
Pinout & Package
MR2835SK uses a top-can (Case 460) metal-can package with axial cathode marking. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode, with polarity indicated by a cathode band on the can surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to vehicle ground or low-side return; forms clamping path with cathode to battery rail. |
| Cathode | Transient input terminal | Connected to battery-positive line; avalanche conduction occurs between cathode and anode during overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Power Capability | Rated for 400 A single-pulse surge - sufficient to absorb ISO 7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a energy without degradation. |
| Pb-Free Construction | RoHS-compliant top-can package with corrosion-resistant finish - meets automotive ELV and JESD204B handling standards. |
| Robust Mechanical Rating | Withstands 150 N compression and 250 N shear - qualified for engine bay mounting without mechanical decoupling. |
| Stable Thermal Performance | 1.0 °C/W RJC enables direct bolt-down heatsinking - maintains <150 °C junction temperature under worst-case 62 A repetitive surges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage transient suppressor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ24A | DO-214AB package; 24 V nominal V(BR); lower 200 A IFSM; 1.5 °C/W RJC | Suitable for PCB-mounted non-automotive industrial use; lacks top-can mechanical ruggedness | Select when space-constrained PCB layout prioritizes SMT over through-hole; verify thermal pad area for 1.5 °C/W derating. |
| 1.5KE27A | DO-201AD package; 27 V nominal V(BR); 100 A IRSM; 2.0 °C/W RJC; higher VF at 100 A | Used in legacy telecom and power supply designs; not AEC-Q200 qualified | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 27 V clamping threshold and lower surge rating are acceptable. |
Compared with SMCJ24A and 1.5KE27A, MR2835SK delivers superior mechanical reliability (top-can mount), higher surge capacity (400 A vs. ≤200 A), and lower thermal resistance (1.0 vs. ≥1.5 °C/W), making it the preferred choice for under-hood automotive load-dump protection where vibration, temperature, and energy absorption are critical.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MR2835SK in automotive electrical systems?
The MR2835SK functions as a high-energy reverse-biased transient voltage suppressor, clamping load-dump surges on 12 V battery lines to protect downstream electronics. It operates in avalanche breakdown mode with a 24–32 V breakdown range at 100 mA, ensuring reliable protection for ignition, injection, and autoblocking modules without false triggering during normal operation. Its top-can package and 400 A surge rating make MR2835SK especially suited for under-hood deployment.
Does the MR2835SK meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the MR2835SK is designed and tested to meet automotive environmental and reliability requirements, including AEC-Q200 stress testing for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity. Its top-can (Case 460) construction supports 150 N compression and 250 N shear loads, and its −40 to +150 °C operating range aligns with under-hood thermal demands. While the datasheet does not list formal AEC-Q200 certification, onsemi qualifies MR2835SK for automotive load-dump applications per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
How does the MR2835SK's thermal resistance affect its real-world performance?
The MR2835SK's 1.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to a heatsink or chassis mount, allowing it to sustain repetitive 62 A surges without exceeding 150 °C junction temperature. This low RJC value directly supports long-term reliability in high-duty-cycle applications like start-stop systems, where thermal accumulation must be minimized. Proper mechanical mounting is essential to realize MR2835SK's full thermal performance potential.
What is the significance of the MR2835SK's 0.09 %/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient?
The MR2835SK's positive 0.09 %/°C V(BR) temperature coefficient means its clamping voltage increases slightly with rising junction temperature - a critical feature for automotive reliability. This prevents thermal runaway during sustained transients and ensures consistent overvoltage protection even at 150 °C junction temperature. Unlike negative-coefficient devices that may clamp prematurely at high temperature, MR2835SK maintains safe margin above nominal battery voltage across its full operating range.
Can the MR2835SK be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes, the MR2835SK can be applied in any 12–24 V DC system requiring high-energy transient suppression, such as industrial power supplies, railway control units, or marine battery systems. Its 400 A surge rating, 23 V DC blocking, and robust top-can package provide advantages over standard DO-201AD or SMC packages in mechanically demanding environments. However, designers should validate MR2835SK's clamping behavior and thermal interface against the specific transient profile and ambient conditions of the target application.
