Product details
Overview
STIEC45-24ACS from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional Transil™ TVS diode designed for IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection on DC power lines, with 24 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 28.2 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 42 V maximum clamping voltage (VCL) at 500 A (8/20 μs). It delivers 500 A peak pulse current, operates up to 150 °C junction temperature, and features low leakage (0.2 μA at 25 °C), packaged in JEDEC-registered SMC (DO-214AB) for industrial power supply protection.
For engineers reviewing the STIEC45-24ACS datasheet, STIEC45-24ACS pinout, STIEC45-24ACS application, or STIEC45-24ACS equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping behavior, 42 V clamping at 500 A, SMC package thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W), IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance, and suitability for high-reliability DC input stage protection in telecom and industrial equipment.
Technical Context
The STIEC45-24ACS is a planar silicon avalanche diode optimized for transient overvoltage suppression in bidirectional signal or power line configurations. Its clamping initiates symmetrically at VBR in both polarities, with dynamic resistance (RD) of 0.025 Ω enabling predictable VCL scaling per VCLmax = RD × IPP + VBRmax.
It supports full IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV common mode, 334 A) and Level 2 (1 kV differential mode, 500 A) surge immunity, while maintaining low leakage (≤1 μA at 85 °C) and stable VBR temperature coefficient (αT = 9.6 × 10⁻⁴ /°C) across –55 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 24 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping onset |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR min) | 26.7 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche conduction threshold in both directions |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL max) | 42 V at 500 A (8/20 μs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) | 500 A (8/20 μs) - Surge handling capacity matching IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 differential mode |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 μA at 24 V, 25 °C - Minimal standby power loss and noise coupling in high-impedance circuits |
| Junction Temp Range (Tj) | –55 °C to +150 °C - Enables use in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 0.025 Ω - Enables accurate clamping voltage prediction across varying surge currents |
Pinout & Package
STIEC45-24ACS is housed in an SMC package (JEDEC DO-214AB), with two terminals: Cathode and Anode arranged in a symmetrical bidirectional configuration. The package features a 7.75–8.15 mm body width (E), 5.55–6.25 mm length (D), and 1.90–2.45 mm height (A1), optimized for high thermal dissipation via PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Surge return path (bidirectional) | Conducts transient current in either polarity; no fixed polarity reference |
| Cathode | Surge return path (bidirectional) | Identical role to Anode; device functions identically regardless of orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping symmetry | VBR matches within ±0.5 V between polarities, ensuring balanced protection on AC-coupled or floating rails |
| High-temperature reliability | Rated for 150 °C Tj with only 410 A derated Ipp - maintains >80% surge capability at max operating temp |
| Low dynamic resistance | RD = 0.025 Ω enables <1 V increase in VCL per 40 A surge increment - critical for tight voltage margin designs |
| IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance | Validated at 4 kV (12 Ω source) common-mode surge - meets telecom infrastructure surge immunity requirements |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Input | Telecom DC Feeder Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC power feed to programmable logic controller backplane exposed to lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed across input terminals to clamp common-mode transients before they reach upstream DC-DC converters. Use Value: 42 V clamping ensures downstream 24 V-rated regulators remain below absolute maximum ratings during 500 A surges. | Use Scenario: -48 V DC power entry point in outdoor telecom base station cabinets subject to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge suppressor on DC input rail, coordinated with secondary MOV and filter stages. Use Value: Low 0.2 μA leakage prevents battery drain in backup-powered systems; 150 °C rating supports operation inside sealed, solar-heated enclosures. |
| Smart Meter DC Supply Rail | Factory Automation Sensor Hub |
Use Scenario: 24 V auxiliary supply input in ANSI C12.22-compliant smart electricity meters installed on utility poles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line transient protector against EFT bursts (IEC 61000-4-4) and surge coupling from nearby switching events. Use Value: 26.7 V VBR ensures reliable triggering before 30 V-rated microcontroller IO pins are stressed; SMC footprint allows compact layout near connector. | Use Scenario: 24 V power distribution node feeding multiple IO-Link sensors in robotic cell control cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-load TVS on each 24 V branch to prevent cascading failure from localized surge injection. Use Value: Symmetrical bidirectional clamping eliminates orientation errors during high-volume assembly; RoHS2/ECOPACK® compliance meets EU industrial directives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ24CA (Bourns) | Same VRM (24 V), higher VCL (43.5 V @ 500 A), larger SMB package (Rth(j-a) = 110 °C/W vs 90 °C/W) | Limited to lower-power applications due to higher thermal resistance and less robust IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs clamping voltage margin and thermal performance |
| P6SMB24CA (Littelfuse) | Identical VRM/VBR/VCL specs, but rated only to 175 °C Tj and lacks explicit IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 test report | Not validated for telecom common-mode 4 kV testing; suitable only for industrial Level 2 or EFT-only environments | Choose where full IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 certification is not required and higher Tj margin is unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ24CA and P6SMB24CA, STIEC45-24ACS provides tighter 42 V clamping, lower Rth(j-l) (15 °C/W), and documented IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance - making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and certified infrastructure applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for STIEC45-24ACS under IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage is 42 V at 500 A (8/20 μs waveform), measured per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 differential mode (1 kV, 2 Ω source). This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and confirmed in Table 4 of the official datasheet (DocID16871 Rev 3).
Can STIEC45-24ACS be used in place of a unidirectional TVS like STIEC45-24AS?
No - STIEC45-24ACS is bidirectional and clamps in both polarities, while STIEC45-24AS is unidirectional and conducts only in reverse bias. Substitution requires verifying circuit topology: bidirectional use is mandatory for AC-coupled, floating, or dual-rail inputs; unidirectional is appropriate for grounded DC rails with defined polarity.
Does STIEC45-24ACS meet UL 94 V0 flammability requirements?
Yes - the epoxy resin housing complies with UL 94 V0, as stated in the "Complies with the following standards" section of the datasheet. This certification applies to the molded package material and is verified per UL testing protocols, supporting use in safety-critical industrial enclosures.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies an IPC 7351-compliant SMC footprint with minimum 100 cm² total copper area (4.4 × 22.4 mm per lead) on FR4 board (35 µm copper). Achieving Rth(j-a) = 90 °C/W requires this layout; reducing copper area increases thermal resistance and may require Ipp derating above 100 °C ambient.
