Product details
Overview
SM5S24-E3/2D from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 24 V stand-off voltage, 43.0 V clamping voltage at 84 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and 3600 W peak pulse power. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive load dump protection.
For engineers reviewing the SM5S24-E3/2D datasheet, SM5S24-E3/2D pinout, SM5S24-E3/2D application, or SM5S24-E3/2D equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 1.0 °C/W), ISO7637-2 compliance, low leakage (<10 μA at VWM), and 500 A IFSM surge rating.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology to achieve stable clamping under high-temperature conditions (TJ = 175 °C). Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events while maintaining low reverse leakage (<10 μA at 24 V).
The DO-218AB package features a metal heatsink terminal (anode) and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.0 °C/W, enabling effective power dissipation on heatsinked PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VC @ IPPM | 43.0 V - Clamped voltage at 84 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), defining worst-case voltage seen by protected circuit |
| PPPM (10/1000 μs) | 3600 W - Peak transient power handling capability under standard surge waveform |
| IFSM | 500 A - Single half-sine surge current rating (8.3 ms), critical for load dump survival |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature, enabling use in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, supporting thermal design with external heatsinking |
| ID @ VWM | <10 μA - Low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-sensitive systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-218AB - Surface-mount, single-ended metal heatsink package with anode connected to heatsink tab and cathode on lead 1. Meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL Level 1 (peak reflow 245 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 175 °C junction operation | Enables placement near high-temperature components (e.g., power converters, engine control units) without derating |
| Low forward voltage drop | VF ≤ 2.0 V at 100 A (8.3 ms sine), minimizing conduction losses during sustained overvoltage events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A-E3/5A | DO-214AC package, lower PPPM (400 W), higher VC (38.9 V), bidirectional option available | Limited to lower-energy transients; not rated for ISO7637-2 load dump | Select when space-constrained layout requires smaller footprint and surge demands are below 400 W |
| TPSMD24 | DO-218AB package, same VWM/VC, but lower IFSM (200 A) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive under-hood deployment due to 150 °C TJ limit and non-automotive qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 and 175 °C operation are not required |
Compared with SMAJ24A-E3/5A and TPSMD24, the SM5S24-E3/2D delivers 9× higher peak power handling, certified automotive reliability, and superior thermal robustness-making it the only choice for ISO7637-2-compliant 24 V load dump protection in demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SM5S24-E3/2D at its rated peak pulse current?
The SM5S24-E3/2D has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 43.0 V at 84 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform), as specified in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88382. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events and is measured under controlled test conditions at TA = 25 °C. The SM5S24-E3/2D maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the SM5S24-E3/2D suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the SM5S24-E3/2D is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for junction temperatures up to 175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units and body control modules. Its DO-218AB package provides direct metal heatsink mounting, and it meets ISO7637-2 load dump requirements-key criteria confirmed in the official Vishay SM5S24-E3/2D datasheet.
What does the "-E3/2D" suffix indicate in SM5S24-E3/2D?
The "-E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 whisker resistance (Class 2). The "/2D" indicates packaging in 13-inch plastic tape and reel, with 750 units per reel and anode orientation toward the sprocket hole. This ordering code is defined in the Vishay SM5S24-E3/2D datasheet's Ordering Information section.
How does the SM5S24-E3/2D compare to the SM5S24A variant?
The SM5S24-E3/2D is the standard version with breakdown voltage range 26.7–32.6 V and clamping voltage 43.0 V, while SM5S24A has tighter breakdown (26.7–29.5 V) and lower clamping voltage (38.9 V). Both share identical VWM (24.0 V), package (DO-218AB), and AEC-Q101 qualification. The SM5S24-E3/2D offers higher surge margin; SM5S24A provides tighter voltage tolerance for precision-critical designs.
Does the SM5S24-E3/2D require a heatsink for 3600 W pulse handling?
The SM5S24-E3/2D relies on its DO-218AB metal heatsink terminal for thermal management during 3600 W pulses; no external heatsink is required for single-event surge handling. However, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area (e.g., ≥1 in² thermal pad) connected to the metal tab to maintain RθJC = 1.0 °C/W. Continuous power dissipation is limited to 5 W on infinite heatsink, per the SM5S24-E3/2D datasheet's derating curve.
