Product details
Overview
STIEC45-28AS from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional Transil™ TVS diode designed for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge protection on DC power lines, with 28 V stand-off voltage, 32.6 V typical breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 49 V clamping voltage at 500 A (8/20 μs), and 0.2 μA leakage at 25 °C. It operates up to 150 °C junction temperature and is packaged in JEDEC-registered SMC (DO-214AB) for industrial power supply and telecom interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the STIEC45-28AS datasheet, STIEC45-28AS pinout, STIEC45-28AS application, or STIEC45-28AS equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance at 500 A surge, thermal resistance (15 °C/W junction-to-leads), low leakage stability across temperature, and SMC footprint compatibility with IPC 7351-recommended pad layout.
Technical Context
The STIEC45-28AS uses planar silicon technology to achieve stable reverse breakdown at 31.1–34.3 V and precise clamping behavior governed by dynamic resistance (0.029 Ω) and temperature coefficient (9.8 × 10⁻⁴ /°C). Its unidirectional architecture provides forward conduction near 0.6 V while maintaining high impedance below VRM = 28 V.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (15 kV air / 8 kV contact), IEC 61000-4-4 EFT robustness, and MIL-STD-883G HBM (25 kV), with thermal design enabled by Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W and Rth(j-a) = 90 °C/W on recommended copper layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 28 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 31.1–34.3 V at 1 mA - Ensures reliable triggering margin above VRM under temperature variation |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 49 V at 500 A (8/20 μs) - Limits transient energy delivered to protected circuitry |
| Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) | 500 A (8/20 μs) - Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 common-mode surge (334 A) with safety margin |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 μA at 25 °C - Minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance DC rails |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 to +150 °C - Enables deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial SMPS environments |
| Dynamic Resistance (RD) | 0.029 Ω - Determines linear clamping slope; critical for predicting VCL at non-standard surge currents |
Pinout & Package
The STIEC45-28AS is housed in an SMC package (JEDEC DO-214AB), featuring two terminals: cathode (marked end) and anode. The package measures 5.55–6.25 mm × 7.75–8.15 mm × 2.45 mm max height, with gull-wing leads optimized for high-current PCB routing and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked end) | Surge current sink node | Connected to protected line; conducts during reverse transients to clamp voltage |
| Anode | Reference/ground return path | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return plane for effective energy diversion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature reliability | Rated for continuous operation up to Tj = 150 °C with only 410 A derated peak current - supports compact, thermally constrained designs |
| Low-temperature coefficient of VBR | αT = 9.8 × 10⁻⁴ /°C - ensures predictable clamping voltage shift across −55 to +150 °C range |
| Ultra-low leakage | ≤1 μA at 85 °C - preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| JEDEC-compliant SMC footprint | DO-214AB outline with IPC 7351-recommended pad layout - enables drop-in replacement and automated assembly |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Telecom Interface Surge Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V DC input rails in programmable logic controllers against lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS diode placed between input rail and chassis ground to shunt common-mode transients. Use Value: Clamps 500 A surges to ≤49 V, preventing damage to upstream DC/DC converters and downstream microcontrollers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding RS-485 transceiver inputs in outdoor base stations exposed to induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on differential pair lines, leveraging 28 V VRM to avoid false triggering during normal 24 V bus operation. Use Value: Maintains <0.2 μA leakage at 25 °C, eliminating bias current errors in precision termination networks. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Smart Meter DC Power Input |
Use Scenario: Securing 12–24 V auxiliary power inputs in BCMs subjected to load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main power rail, coordinated with upstream fuse and downstream LDO regulators. Use Value: Withstands 150 °C junction temperature and delivers 410 A surge capability at Tj = 150 °C - matches under-hood thermal profiles. | Use Scenario: Protecting lithium-ion backup battery charging circuitry in utility smart meters against grid-switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS on 3.3 V or 5 V system rails where standby current budget is <10 μA. Use Value: Delivers 0.2 μA IRM at 25 °C and 1 μA at 85 °C - avoids measurable impact on battery runtime over 10-year field life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A | Lower Ipp (400 A), higher VCL (53.3 V at 400 A), same SMC package | Limited to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (2 kV) due to reduced surge margin | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for Level 4 compliance |
| SMCJ28A | Higher Ipp (600 A), same VRM/VBR, larger SMC package (DO-214AB variant with thicker leads) | Requires revised PCB pad layout; better suited for repeated surge events | Choose for mission-critical infrastructure where surge repetition rate exceeds 100x/hour |
Compared with SMAJ28A and SMCJ28A, the STIEC45-28AS delivers optimal balance of 500 A surge rating, 49 V clamping, and ultra-low leakage in standard SMC - making it ideal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and battery-sensitive IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of STIEC45-28AS at 300 A (8/20 μs)?
Using the formula VCLmax = RD × IPP + VBRmax, with RD = 0.029 Ω and VBRmax = 34.3 V, the calculated clamping voltage is 42.9 V. This value aligns with the device's linear clamping behavior and is verified in Figure 4 of the datasheet for interpolated surge levels.
Can STIEC45-28AS be used in bidirectional signal lines?
No - STIEC45-28AS is unidirectional and conducts only in reverse bias. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485), ST recommends STIEC45-28ACS, which clamps symmetrically in both directions with identical VBR and VCL characteristics.
Does STIEC45-28AS meet RoHS2 and REACH requirements?
Yes - the device is RoHS2 compliant (2011/65/EU) and REACH SVHC-free, as confirmed in the ECOPACK® documentation referenced in Section 2 of the datasheet. It uses lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound meeting UL 94 V0.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for optimal thermal performance?
ST specifies an IPC 7351-compliant SMC footprint with minimum 4.4 cm² copper area per lead (Figure 10). Use 35 µm copper thickness and connect pads directly to internal ground/power planes via ≥4 thermal vias per lead to achieve Rth(j-a) ≈ 90 °C/W.
