Product details
Overview
STIEC45-27AS from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional Transil™ TVS diode designed for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge protection on DC power lines, with 27 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 500 A peak pulse current (8/20 μs), and clamping voltage of 49 V at 500 A. It operates up to 150 °C junction temperature and delivers low leakage (0.2 μA at 25 °C), making it suitable for industrial SMPS and telecom power supply protection.
For engineers reviewing the STIEC45-27AS datasheet, STIEC45-27AS pinout, STIEC45-27AS application, or STIEC45-27AS equivalent, key selection criteria include verified clamping performance at 500 A, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W), JEDEC DO-214AB (SMC) package compatibility, and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance documentation.
Technical Context
The STIEC45-27AS employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-reliability transient suppression in DC power rails. Its unidirectional architecture provides forward conduction (~0.6 V) and reverse breakdown (VBR min = 31.1 V) with defined clamping onset, enabling precise overvoltage threshold control in protected circuits.
It meets IEC 61000-4-5 differential mode surge (1 kV, 500 A with 2 Ω source) and common-mode surge (4 kV, 334 A with 12 Ω source), while sustaining 410 A peak pulse current at Tj = 150 °C - critical for thermally constrained industrial power designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 27 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 31.1 V (min), 32.6 V (typ), 34.3 V (max) at 1 mA - defines precise reverse conduction onset |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 49 V at 500 A (8/20 μs) - limits transient voltage seen by downstream circuitry |
| Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) | 500 A (8/20 μs) - validated surge handling per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 differential mode |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 μA at 27 V, 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on systems |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in harsh industrial environments without derating |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 0.029 Ω - determines VCL rise slope under surge (VCL = RD × IPP + VBRmax) |
Pinout & Package
The STIEC45-27AS is housed in an SMC package (JEDEC DO-214AB), with a standardized 2-terminal configuration: Cathode (pin 1) and Anode (pin 2), mounted on IPC 7351-compliant pads for optimal thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal during normal operation | Connected to protected line; conducts during positive transients to ground |
| Anode (A) | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground; completes clamping current path during surge events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance | Validated 4 kV common-mode surge immunity (12 Ω source) for robust infrastructure-grade protection |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W enables sustained 410 A surge capability at 150 °C junction temperature |
| High-temperature leakage stability | 1 μA max at 85 °C ensures reliability in enclosed power enclosures without thermal runaway risk |
| RoHS2 & UL 94 V0 resin | Meets environmental and flammability requirements for global industrial and telecom certifications |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Telecom DC Feeder Lines |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24–32 V DC input rails in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) against lightning-induced surges on factory floor wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input rail and chassis ground to clamp transients before they reach DC-DC converters. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤49 V at 500 A, preserving downstream 36 V-rated MOSFETs and gate drivers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding -48 V DC distribution in central office equipment exposed to induced surges from nearby AC mains or lightning coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-connected across feed line and return to suppress positive-going transients on negative-rail systems. Use Value: Maintains <0.2 μA leakage at –27 V bias, preventing battery drain in backup-powered telecom nodes. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Renewable Energy Charge Controllers |
Use Scenario: Shielding 12/24 V power inputs in BCMs from load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses in vehicle harnesses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge limiter upstream of LDO regulators and CAN transceivers. Use Value: Withstands 150 °C junction temperature, matching under-hood thermal profiles without derating. | Use Scenario: Protecting MPPT controller inputs connected to solar panel strings subject to rapid voltage transients during cloud-edge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on PV+ and PV− terminals to absorb fast-rising open-circuit spikes. Use Value: 31.1–34.3 V VBR range aligns precisely with 27 V nominal string voltage, avoiding false triggering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ28A (Bourns) | 28 V VRM, 31.1 V VBR min, 45.4 V VCL at 500 A, SMB package (larger Rth(j-a)) | Higher clamping margin (45.4 V vs. 49 V) but lower thermal robustness at elevated ambient | Select when board space allows larger SMB footprint and lower clamping voltage is prioritized over 150 °C operation |
| P6SMB27A (Littelfuse) | 27 V VRM, 30.0 V VBR min, 43.0 V VCL at 500 A, SMB package, 1000 W rating | Lower VCL improves protection margin but rated only to 175 °C Tj (not validated at 150 °C continuous) | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where full industrial thermal validation is not required |
Compared with SMBJ28A and P6SMB27A, the STIEC45-27AS offers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W) and verified 150 °C operation - essential for mission-critical industrial power designs where long-term reliability outweighs minor clamping voltage differences.

FAQ
What is the exact clamping voltage of STIEC45-27AS at 500 A (8/20 μs)?
The clamping voltage (VCL) of STIEC45-27AS is 49 V at 500 A with an 8/20 μs waveform, as specified in Table 4 of the official datasheet (DocID16871 Rev 3). This value is measured under standard test conditions (Tamb = 25 °C) and represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a full-rated surge event.
Does STIEC45-27AS meet IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 for common-mode surges?
Yes - STIEC45-27AS is certified for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 common-mode surge (4 kV with 12 Ω source impedance, yielding 334 A), as explicitly stated in the "Complies with the following standards" section of the datasheet. Its 49 V clamping voltage ensures downstream components remain within safe operating limits under this stress condition.
Is the SMC package of STIEC45-27AS compatible with automated PCB assembly?
Yes - the SMC package (JEDEC DO-214AB) uses standard tape-and-reel packaging (EIA-481 compliant, 2500 pcs/reel) and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The recommended pad layout in Figure 12 ensures reliable tombstoning-free placement.
How does leakage current change with temperature for STIEC45-27AS?
Leakage current increases predictably with junction temperature: 0.2 μA at 25 °C and 1 μA at 85 °C (Table 4, Note column). This behavior is confirmed by Figure 8 (leakage vs. Tj), showing sub-microampere performance remains well within design margins even at elevated ambient temperatures typical in enclosed power systems.
