Product details
Overview
TLD5S28AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 28.0 V working stand-off voltage, 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage at 5.0 mA, and 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It operates from −55 °C to +175 °C and meets AEC-Q101, ISO 7637-2, ISO 16750-2, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, and ISO 10605 Level L4 for automotive surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the TLD5S28AH datasheet, TLD5S28AH pinout, TLD5S28AH application, or TLD5S28AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 45.4 V clamping voltage at 79 A IPPM, 0.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, unidirectional polarity, and DO-218AB mechanical compatibility with high-energy load dump transients in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Technical Context
The TLD5S28AH implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for high-reliability automotive environments, featuring junction passivation and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. Its thermal design supports TJ up to 175 °C with RθJC = 0.9 °C/W under ideal heatsink conditions.
It delivers 3600 W non-repetitive peak impulse power with 10/1000 µs waveform and 2800 W with 10/10000 µs waveform, while maintaining ≤10 µA blocking leakage at VWM and ≤150 µA at TJ = 175 °C - critical for low-power standby circuits exposed to load dump events.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, 43.0 V VC @ 10.3 A, RθJC ≈ 50 °C/W | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 load dump; limited to lower-energy ESD/surge events | Select TLD5S28AH when 3600 W surge handling and 175 °C operation are mandatory |
| SMCJ28A | Higher PPPM (3000 W), SMC package, 45.4 V VC @ 65.1 A, RθJC ≈ 10 °C/W, TJ max = 150 °C | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C rating | Choose TLD5S28AH for production automotive programs requiring full AEC-Q101 and extended temperature compliance |
Compared with SMAJ28A and SMCJ28A, the TLD5S28AH delivers 2.2× higher peak power handling than SMCJ28A and 9× more than SMAJ28A, while uniquely combining AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C operation, and DO-218AB mechanical robustness for mission-critical automotive power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TLD5S28AH at its rated peak pulse current?
The TLD5S28AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V at 79 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe voltage limits during ISO 7637-2 load dump events. The TLD5S28AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, making it suitable for automotive power rail protection where voltage excursions must be tightly controlled.
Is the TLD5S28AH AEC-Q101 qualified and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, the TLD5S28AH is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock - all required for discrete semiconductors used in automotive applications. This qualification confirms the TLD5S28AH's suitability for under-hood environments and safety-critical systems. The TLD5S28AH's 175 °C maximum junction temperature further supports its deployment in demanding automotive locations where thermal margins are constrained.
What package type does the TLD5S28AH use and why is it significant?
The TLD5S28AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, which features a robust molded body rated UL 94V-0, matte tin-plated leads, and optimized thermal path for high-power surge dissipation. Unlike smaller packages like SMA or SMC, DO-218AB supports 3600 W peak pulse power and provides superior thermal performance (RθJC = 0.9 °C/W) when mounted on adequate copper area. This makes the TLD5S28AH uniquely suited for high-energy automotive transients where both power handling and thermal reliability are essential.
How does the TLD5S28AH compare to standard TVS diodes in terms of surge endurance?
The TLD5S28AH delivers 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) and 2800 W (10/10000 µs), significantly exceeding typical SMA- or SMC-packaged TVS diodes. Its 175 °C junction rating and AEC-Q101 qualification enable repeated surge endurance in harsh automotive environments without degradation. For example, the TLD5S28AH sustains full-rated surge performance at elevated temperatures where conventional TVS devices derate sharply - a key differentiator for engine bay and powertrain applications.
Does the TLD5S28AH meet international automotive surge standards?
Yes, the TLD5S28AH meets ISO 7637-2 (load dump), ISO 16750-2 (electrical loads), IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (ESD), and ISO 10605 Level L4. These certifications are verified per test conditions specified in Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation. Compliance ensures the TLD5S28AH can reliably protect sensitive electronics in global automotive platforms without requiring additional external filtering or redundancy - a critical advantage for space-constrained and cost-sensitive designs.
