Product details
Overview
SMDA24C-7.TBT from Diodes Incorporated is a transient voltage suppression diode array designed for unidirectional EOS/ESD protection of one 24V-rated I/O or power line, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge capability, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and 27.5V clamping voltage at 24A - deployed in USB PD input protection, industrial load switch inputs, and IoT device bus lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA24C-7.TBT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include working voltage match (24V), low dynamic resistance (20mΩ), stable clamping across temperature (−40°C to +125°C), junction capacitance (175pF @ 22V), and DFN1616-6 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
SMDA24C-7.TBT implements a solid-state transient diverting architecture using a surge-rated FET as the primary shunt element, activated by a precision trigger circuit when overvoltage exceeds breakdown threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant across 24–40A peak pulse current due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
The device operates with reverse stand-off voltage of 24V, breakdown voltage of 27.9V (typ), and maintains <28V clamping up to 40A (8/20μs) with 2Ω source impedance. Its 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz enables use on moderate-speed power/data lines without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 24V - matches nominal VBus in USB PD 3.0 and industrial 24V supply rails. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5V @ 24A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo wave) - stays below 28V across full rated current, protecting 30V-tolerant ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - satisfies IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact / ±30kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD robustness requirements. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF @ 22V, 1MHz - suitable for DC/low-speed power lines (e.g., VBus, enable, load switch IN), not high-speed data. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - ensures minimal voltage rise under surge, enabling tighter clamping than TVS diodes. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - supports extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN1616-6 (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm), RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, UL 94V-0 molding compound, tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path; all three must be connected to minimize parasitic inductance during 40A surge events. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input; tied together to distribute surge current across parallel bond wires and enhance reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage deviates ≤0.5V from 27.5V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty vs. TVS diodes. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables sub-1V IR drop at 40A, delivering predictable clamping independent of surge magnitude. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) supports repeated lightning-surge exposure in industrial gateways and metering. |
| Ultra-low leakage | 600nA max reverse leakage at 24V ensures negligible standby power loss in battery-backed IoT nodes. |
| Space-efficient DFN | 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. SO-8 TVS solutions while maintaining thermal performance. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P (Semtech) | 22V working voltage, identical 40A/27.5V clamping, same DFN1616-6 package but marked T22XX. | Optimized for 22V USB PD systems; slightly lower VRWM may require revalidation in 24V designs. | Select when VRWM margin is acceptable and Semtech ecosystem alignment is preferred. |
| SMAJ24A (Littelfuse) | 24V VRWM, 38.9V clamping @ 10A (8/20μs), DO-214AC package, higher dynamic resistance (~0.5Ω). | Larger footprint, higher clamping voltage limits use to less sensitive 24V circuits; no temperature stability guarantee. | Choose only if legacy through-hole or larger SMT layout exists and clamping >35V is tolerable. |
Compared with SMDA24C-7.TBT, TDS2211P offers tighter voltage matching for 22V systems but requires VRWM verification at 24V, while SMAJ24A trades compactness and clamping stability for broader vendor availability and simpler qualification - neither is pin-compatible, and both demand layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMDA24C-7.TBT at 40A surge current?
The SMDA24C-7.TBT clamps at 27.6–28.0V under 40A peak pulse current (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current combination waveform, 2Ω source impedance), per its datasheet Electrical Characteristics table. This stable clamping is enabled by its FET-based architecture and remains consistent across −40°C to +125°C operating temperature.
Can SMDA24C-7.TBT replace a standard TVS diode like SMAJ24A in an existing design?
SMDA24C-7.TBT can functionally replace SMAJ24A in 24V protection roles, but it is not a drop-in replacement: SMAJ24A uses DO-214AC packaging and has higher clamping (38.9V @ 10A), whereas SMDA24C-7.TBT uses DFN1616-6 and clamps at 27.5V @ 24A. Layout redesign and thermal validation are required due to different footprints and superior energy handling.
Does SMDA24C-7.TBT support bidirectional transient protection?
No, SMDA24C-7.TBT is a unidirectional transient suppressor designed for positive-going surges on 24V DC lines. Its electrical characteristics - including reverse stand-off voltage (24V), breakdown voltage (27.9V typ), and specified clamping behavior - apply only to forward-biased operation relative to GND. For bidirectional protection, a separate solution such as a symmetric TVS array is required.
What is the junction capacitance of SMDA24C-7.TBT and how does it affect circuit performance?
SMDA24C-7.TBT exhibits 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz. This value is appropriate for DC and low-frequency power lines (e.g., VBus, enable signals, load switch inputs) but unsuitable for high-speed data lines like USB 2.0 or PCIe, where sub-1pF capacitance is typically required to avoid signal distortion or attenuation.
How does the thermal performance of SMDA24C-7.TBT compare to traditional TVS diodes under repeated surge stress?
SMDA24C-7.TBT dissipates surge energy primarily through its low-RDS(on) FET channel rather than a PN junction, resulting in lower localized heating and more stable clamping across temperature. Unlike TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises with ambient temperature, SMDA24C-7.TBT maintains ≤28V clamping from −40°C to +125°C - confirmed in its Typical Characteristics graphs - making it more reliable in thermally demanding deployments.
