Product details
Overview
TLD5S14AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 14.0 V working stand-off voltage, 15.6–17.2 V breakdown voltage at 5.0 mA, and 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), designed for automotive load dump surge protection in 12 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD5S14AH datasheet, TLD5S14AH pinout, TLD5S14AH application, or TLD5S14AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (23.2 V at 155 A), junction temperature capability (−55 to +175 °C), AEC-Q101 qualification, ISO 7637-2 compliance, and DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 0.9 °C/W).
Technical Context
The TLD5S14AH implements a single-die, unidirectional avalanche structure optimized for high-energy transients in automotive power networks. It meets ISO 7637-2 (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 surge requirements, with validated performance under 10 ms exponential waveforms and 10/1000 μs impulse conditions.
Its junction passivation design enables stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The device exhibits a typical VBR temperature coefficient of +0.078 %/°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ14A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, RθJC ≈ 45 °C/W, no AEC-Q101 certification | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; limited to industrial or consumer-grade surge zones | Select only if thermal and reliability requirements are less stringent and cost is primary constraint |
| TPSMD14A | Same DO-218AB package, PPPM = 3000 W (10/1000 µs), VC = 24.4 V @ 143 A, AEC-Q101 qualified | Slightly higher clamping voltage and lower peak power; suitable where margin allows 1.2 V higher clamped rail | Preferred for drop-in replacement where layout reuse is critical and 3000 W surge capacity suffices |
Compared with SMAJ14A and TPSMD14A, the TLD5S14AH delivers 20% higher peak power (3600 W), tighter clamping (23.2 V), and verified AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the optimal choice for high-reliability automotive power rail protection where thermal management and surge margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD5S14AH under standard test conditions?
The TLD5S14AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 23.2 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform with a peak current (IPPM) of 155 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case surge events. The TLD5S14AH maintains this clamping performance consistently across its specified operating temperature range, making it suitable for demanding automotive applications where voltage margin is critical.
Is the TLD5S14AH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TLD5S14AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 surge specifications, operates reliably from −55 to +175 °C, and features junction passivation optimized for high-reliability environments. Its DO-218AB package complies with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-002 solderability standards-key requirements for under-hood automotive electronics. The TLD5S14AH is not intended for medical or life-sustaining systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for the TLD5S14AH?
The TLD5S14AH has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.9 °C/W under ideal heatsink conditions. This low value enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper or external heatsink, supporting sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures. When designing thermal layout, engineers should ensure adequate copper area and thermal vias beneath the DO-218AB case to realize this performance. The RθJC value is confirmed in the official TSC datasheet Version D2103.
Does the TLD5S14AH have polarity markings, and how is it oriented on the PCB?
Yes, the TLD5S14AH is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking on the DO-218AB package body. During PCB layout, the cathode (marked end) must be connected to the protected line (e.g., battery rail), while the anode connects to ground or the return path. Incorrect orientation will prevent proper clamping during overvoltage events. The marking diagram in the TSC datasheet confirms the band position relative to the device outline and date code location.
What is the leakage current specification for the TLD5S14AH at its working stand-off voltage?
The TLD5S14AH specifies a maximum blocking leakage current (IR) of 10 µA at VWM = 14.0 V and TA = 25 °C. At elevated junction temperature (TJ = 175 °C), leakage increases to ≤150 µA under the same voltage. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on automotive modules such as body controllers and ADAS sensors, preserving battery life without compromising surge response speed.
