Product details
Overview
SMB10J24CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 1000W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with 24V standoff voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 38.9V clamping voltage (VC) at 25.7A peak pulse current - designed for automotive lighting and ESD protection of CAN/LIN bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMB10J24CAH datasheet, SMB10J24CAH pinout, SMB10J24CAH application, or SMB10J24CAH equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance, and 175°C maximum junction temperature for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS diode uses a glass-passivated junction to achieve sub-1ps response time and robust clamping performance across repetitive transients. It operates within -55°C to +175°C junction range and supports unidirectional or bidirectional surge suppression without polarity dependency due to symmetrical VBR min/max tolerance (26.7–29.5V).
Thermal design is enabled by RθJL = 20°C/W and RθJA = 100°C/W ratings, allowing effective heat dissipation in high-density PCB layouts. Its DO-214AA package meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR @ IT=1mA | 26.7–29.5 V - Verified breakdown threshold ensuring reliable turn-on during transients |
| VC @ IPPM=25.7A | 38.9 V - Clamped voltage limiting downstream IC stress during 10/1000μs surge events |
| PPK | 1000 W - Peak pulse power handling per single 1ms transient per Fig. 3 |
| Junction Temp Range | -55°C to +175°C - Enables placement near heat sources in engine control units and lighting modules |
| Response Time | <1.0 ps - Fast enough to protect against ESD and fast electrical fast transients (EFT) |
| Standards Compliance | ISO 7637-2 (Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b), AEC-Q101 - Validated for automotive electronics immunity testing |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; symmetrical bidirectional structure means both terminals serve identical roles in transient suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Case / Body | Thermal conduction path | Integral leadframe provides low RθJL = 20°C/W for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA | Same DO-214AA package, 24V VWM, but rated for 600W PPK (vs. 1000W for SMB10J24CAH) | Limited to lower-energy transients; insufficient for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) | Select SMB10J24CAH when full 1000W surge margin is required in automotive power distribution nodes. |
| SMCJ24CA | Higher PPK = 1500W, same VWM/VC, but larger DO-214AB (SMC) package (7.11 × 6.22 mm vs. 4.57 × 3.94 mm) | Requires PCB area increase and may not fit space-constrained modules like LED drivers | Choose SMB10J24CAH where SMB footprint is mandatory and 1000W rating suffices for system-level test compliance. |
Compared with SMBJ24CA and SMCJ24CA, SMB10J24CAH uniquely delivers 1000W surge capability in the compact DO-214AA outline while maintaining AEC-Q101 and ISO 7637-2 certification - making it optimal for space-limited, high-reliability automotive and industrial control nodes requiring verified bidirectional clamping.

FAQ
What does the 'CAH' suffix indicate in SMB10J24CAH?
The 'CAH' suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration with AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction. Unlike unidirectional 'AH' variants, SMB10J24CAH provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities - essential for protecting differential buses like CAN or AC-coupled signal paths. This designation is confirmed in TSC's ordering information and electrical specifications table.
Is SMB10J24CAH compliant with ISO 7637-2 for automotive transient immunity?
Yes, SMB10J24CAH explicitly meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements as stated in its features list. Its 1000W peak power rating and 38.9V clamping voltage at 25.7A ensure sufficient margin to suppress these standardized transients without exceeding protected IC voltage tolerances.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SMB10J24CAH?
The maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) for SMB10J24CAH is +175°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This enables operation in high-temperature environments such as engine compartments or enclosed LED driver housings, provided thermal design accounts for RθJA = 100°C/W under natural convection.
Does SMB10J24CAH require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No - SMB10J24CAH has Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and processed using standard SMT reflow profiles without pre-baking. This simplifies manufacturing integration and reduces line downtime versus higher-MSL components.
How does the clamping voltage of SMB10J24CAH compare to its standoff voltage?
SMB10J24CAH has a 24V standoff voltage (VWM) and clamps at 38.9V (VC) during a 25.7A transient - a 62% overvoltage margin. This ratio ensures protected ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings even during worst-case 1000W surges, unlike lower-clamp alternatives that may exceed safe operating limits under identical conditions.
