Product details
Overview
SA58H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 500W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, with 58V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.4–78.7V breakdown voltage (VBR @ 1mA), and 103V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.0A peak pulse current - designed for automotive-grade ESD and load-dump protection in power supply rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SA58H datasheet, SA58H pinout, SA58H application, or SA58H equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, unidirectional polarity, 103V clamping performance at 5.0A, low leakage (<1μA @ 58V), and DO-204AC mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SA58H operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its VBR range (64.4–78.7V), clamping transients to ≤103V within <1.0ps response time. It sustains 500W peak pulse power per 10/1000μs waveform and handles up to 70A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM).
Thermal design relies on its 175°C maximum junction temperature and derating curve (Fig.2); steady-state power dissipation is 3W at TL = 75°C with 9.5mm lead lengths. Its 1.0mA test current (IT) and 58V VWM ensure stable operation below breakdown while blocking normal system voltages.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12V battery-supplied ECUs exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power input and ground to clamp surges before DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤103V during 500W transients, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream logic. | Use Scenario: 4–20mA current-loop sensors in factory automation subject to cable-induced EFT bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SA58H shunts fast transients across analog front-end inputs to preserve ADC accuracy and amplifier stability. Use Value: Sub-nanosecond response ensures clamping occurs before 5ns EFT edges propagate into precision signal chains. |

Use Scenario: Constant-current LED drivers in commercial lighting subjected to inductive switching spikes from relay coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted across driver output to absorb flyback energy from inductive loads. Use Value: 70A IFSM rating supports repeated 8.3ms half-sine surges without degradation, extending driver lifetime. | Use Scenario: Low-voltage telecom interface cards connected to external wiring susceptible to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage protection on +5V/3.3V supply lines feeding PHY ICs and level shifters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ58A | Same VWM (58V), lower PPK (400W), SMA package (SMT) | Requires PCB rework for surface-mount layout; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Select if space-constrained SMT design prioritizes footprint over automotive qualification |
| P6KE56A | Lower VWM (56V), same DO-15 package, 600W rating, no AEC-Q101 | Clamps at lower voltage (93.6V @ 5.6A) but unqualified for automotive use | Select for industrial power supplies where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and tighter clamping margin is needed |
Compared with SMAJ58A and P6KE56A, the SA58H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 500W 10/1000μs rating, and DO-204AC through-hole compatibility - making it the only drop-in solution for legacy automotive PCBs requiring certified surge robustness without layout change.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SA58H and how is it measured?
The SA58H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 103 V, measured at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events and is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range per TSC's characterization data.
Is SA58H unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity marked?
The SA58H is a unidirectional TVS diode, with polarity indicated by a cathode band on the DO-204AC (DO-15) package body. The cathode must be connected to the protected line (e.g., 12V rail), and the anode to ground - reverse orientation prevents proper clamping and may cause device failure under surge conditions.
Does SA58H meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, SA58H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the ordering code suffix "H", confirming stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics per TSC's L2105 specification release.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal derating behavior of SA58H?
The SA58H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 175°C and follows a defined derating curve (Fig.2 in TSC documentation): peak pulse power decreases linearly above 25°C ambient, reaching ~50% of 500W at 100°C ambient. At TL = 75°C with 9.5mm lead lengths, its steady-state power dissipation is rated at 3W.
How does SA58H compare to SA58A in terms of electrical performance?
The SA58H and SA58A share identical VWM (58V) and VBR range (64.4–71.2V), but SA58H is AEC-Q101 qualified while SA58A is not. Electrically, SA58H exhibits the same 103V clamping voltage at 5.0A and <1μA leakage - the "H" suffix denotes qualification only, not parametric differentiation.
