Product details
Overview
STIEC45-30AS from STMicroelectronics is a unidirectional Transil™ TVS diode designed for IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection on DC power lines, with 30 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 33.3–36.8 V clamping voltage (VCL) 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 SMPS and telecom power supply protection.
For engineers reviewing the STIEC45-30AS datasheet, STIEC45-30AS pinout, STIEC45-30AS application, or STIEC45-30AS equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 4 kV IEC 61000-4-5 common-mode surges, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W), low-leakage operation at elevated temperatures, and SMC footprint compatibility with IPC 7351-recommended pad layout.
Technical Context
The STIEC45-30AS employs planar silicon technology to achieve stable breakdown behavior and low leakage across its -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction range. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction near 0.6 V and reverse clamping initiated at VBR ≥33.3 V, enabling precise overvoltage limiting on positive-rail DC systems.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (15 kV air / 8 kV contact), IEC 61000-4-4 EFT protection, and MIL-STD-883G HBM Class 3B (25 kV), with dynamic resistance RD = 0.036 Ω enabling predictable VCL scaling per VCLmax = RD × IPP + VBRmax.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 30 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 33.3–36.8 V at 1 mA - Defines onset of avalanche conduction under transient stress |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 55 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 current handling capacity at 25 °C ambient |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 μA at 25 °C, 1 μA at 85 °C - Ensures minimal standby power loss in high-reliability systems |
| Junction Temp Range (Tj) | -55 to +150 °C - Supports operation in harsh environments including industrial power converters |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-l)) | 15 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from die to PCB leads under sustained surge duty |
Pinout & Package
The STIEC45-30AS is housed in an SMC package (JEDEC DO-214AB), featuring a two-terminal surface-mount outline with cathode band marking. Recommended pad layout follows IPC 7351 standards for optimal thermal dissipation and mechanical reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward conduction path | Connects to ground or low-side return in unidirectional clamp configuration |
| Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased clamping node | Connects to protected line (e.g., +30 V rail); clamps transients toward anode when voltage exceeds VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance | Withstands 4 kV common-mode surge (12 Ω source) - meets telecom and industrial AC/DC input stage requirements |
| Low dynamic resistance (RD) | 0.036 Ω - minimizes VCL rise under increasing surge current, improving system-level robustness |
| High Tj max rating | 150 °C - enables placement near hot components (e.g., MOSFETs, transformers) without derating |
| Planar silicon construction | Stable VBR temperature coefficient (αT = 9.9 × 10⁻⁴ /°C) - ensures predictable clamping across operating range |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS Input Protection | Telecom DC Power Distribution |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting primary-side DC bus in 48 V telecom rectifiers against lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between +48 V rail and chassis ground to clamp differential-mode transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 (1 kV, 2 Ω). Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤55 V during 500 A surges, preventing damage to downstream DC-DC controllers and MOSFET gate drivers. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding backplane power rails in modular base station equipment exposed to conducted surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on +30 V distribution net, activated only during >33.3 V transients to avoid false triggering during normal ripple. Use Value: Delivers <0.2 μA leakage at 25 °C, preserving efficiency in always-on 24/7 infrastructure systems. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Power Input | Industrial PLC Analog Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 12–36 V supply inputs in BCMs subjected to load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge limiter on main power feed, coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary RC filters. Use Value: Maintains Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W to survive repeated 100–500 A pulses without thermal runaway at 150 °C junction. | Use Scenario: Shielding 4–20 mA loop power inputs in programmable logic controllers from field-wiring induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<100 pF at VRM) unidirectional clamp placed before signal conditioning op-amps. Use Value: Prevents latch-up in precision amplifiers while adding <0.036 Ω series impedance - negligible impact on loop accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A | Lower Ipp (100 A vs. 500 A), higher VCL (69 V @ 100 A), SMB package (larger footprint) | Rated for lower-energy surges; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance | Select only if system-level surge testing confirms <100 A requirement and board space allows SMB |
| SMCJ30A | Same SMC package, identical VRM/VBR, but VCL = 48.4 V @ 500 A (lower than STIEC45-30AS's 55 V) | Better clamping performance at full rated current; slightly higher leakage (1 μA @ 25 °C) | Prefer when minimizing protected-circuit voltage excursion is critical, accepting marginally higher IR |
Compared with SMBJ30A and SMCJ30A, STIEC45-30AS offers superior surge energy handling (500 A) in the same SMC footprint while maintaining ultra-low leakage-making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained DC power protection where both clamping voltage and long-term stability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of STIEC45-30AS at 300 A (8/20 μs)?
Using the formula VCLmax = RD × IPP + VBRmax, with RD = 0.036 Ω and VBRmax = 36.8 V, the calculated clamping voltage is 47.6 V. This matches measured data showing ~47–48 V at 300 A, confirming predictable voltage limiting below the 55 V spec at full 500 A rating.
Can STIEC45-30AS be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No - STIEC45-30AS is unidirectional and conducts forward current (~0.6 V drop) when polarity reverses. For bidirectional protection, ST recommends STIEC45-30ACS, which clamps symmetrically above ±33.3 V and has no forward conduction path on either terminal.
How does STIEC45-30AS perform at elevated junction temperatures?
At Tj = 150 °C, its peak pulse current capability remains 410 A (8/20 μs), and VBR increases to ~38.5 V (using αT = 9.9 × 10⁻⁴ /°C). Leakage rises to 1 μA, still well within low-power design limits for industrial applications.
Is the SMC package of STIEC45-30AS compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - it complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, supporting peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. ST's recommended profile (Figure 19) specifies controlled ramp rates and dwell times to prevent solder joint voiding or package cracking during assembly.
