Product details
Overview
TLD5S24AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 24.0 V working stand-off voltage, 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 38.9 V clamping voltage at 93 A peak pulse current, and 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for automotive load dump surge protection in 12 V/24 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD5S24AH datasheet, TLD5S24AH pinout, TLD5S24AH application, or TLD5S24AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C junction temperature rating, 0.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, ISO 7637-2 compliance, unidirectional polarity, and DO-218AB mechanical footprint compatibility with high-power automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLD5S24AH implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for high-energy transient suppression in automotive power rails. Its junction passivation design enables stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C and meets stringent reliability requirements per AEC-Q101.
It delivers 3600 W non-repetitive peak impulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform and 2800 W under 10/10000 µs waveform, with clamping performance verified across temperature (–55 °C to +175 °C) and low leakage (<10 µA at VWM, <150 µA at TJ = 175 °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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, RθJC ≈ 50 °C/W, VBR = 26.7–29.7 V | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5; limited to low-energy IEC 61000-4-2/4-5 events | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive surge requirements and board space permits larger thermal relief. |
| SMCJ24A | PPPM = 1500 W, SMC package, RθJC ≈ 3.5 °C/W, same VBR range, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks AEC-Q101 validation and ISO 7637-2 compliance documentation; requires additional qualification effort | Consider for industrial transport applications where full automotive qualification is not mandated but higher power than SMAJ is needed. |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TLD5S24AH under standard test conditions?
The TLD5S24AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs peak pulse current of 93 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The clamping performance remains stable across its full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +175 °C), making the TLD5S24AH suitable for under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
Is the TLD5S24AH AEC-Q101 qualified and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, the TLD5S24AH is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification confirms it has passed rigorous stress tests-including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and electrostatic discharge-required for discrete semiconductors in automotive applications. As a result, the TLD5S24AH is approved for use in safety-critical and mission-critical systems such as engine control units and body controllers without requiring additional qualification by the end customer.
What package type does the TLD5S24AH use and why is it important for thermal performance?
The TLD5S24AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, which features a thermally enhanced leadframe and low thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.9 °C/W). This design enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper pour or external heatsink, supporting sustained power dissipation up to 5 W and enabling reliable operation at junction temperatures up to 175 °C-critical for placement near high-heat sources in automotive electronics.
Does the TLD5S24AH meet ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 standards, and which test pulses does it cover?
Yes, the TLD5S24AH meets both ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge specifications. It is validated for Load Dump Pulse 5a and 5b (12 V and 24 V systems), including exponential waveforms up to 10 ms duration and peak powers exceeding 3000 W. Compliance is confirmed through standardized lab testing per the referenced standards, making the TLD5S24AH appropriate for front-end protection in automotive power networks subject to alternator regulation faults.
What is the polarity configuration of the TLD5S24AH and how does it affect circuit implementation?
The TLD5S24AH is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events-i.e., when the cathode is driven positive relative to the anode. In practice, this requires the cathode to be connected to the protected line (e.g., 24 V rail) and the anode to system ground. This configuration provides optimal clamping for negative-going transients on positive rails and avoids forward conduction during normal operation, ensuring negligible leakage and no impact on steady-state power integrity.
