Product details
Overview
TLD5S36AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 36 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 40.0–44.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA, and 3600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It delivers automotive-grade surge protection against load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients in 12 V/24 V vehicle power systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD5S36AH datasheet, TLD5S36AH pinout, TLD5S36AH application, or TLD5S36AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 58.1 V clamping voltage at 62 A IPPM, 0.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compliance with ISO 16750-2 and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4.
Technical Context
The TLD5S36AH employs junction passivation optimized design technology to sustain continuous operation up to TJ = 175 °C, enabling high-reliability deployment in under-hood automotive environments. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased transient suppression while maintaining low leakage (<10 µA at VWM) across temperature.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 surge requirements under defined test conditions, with verified 3600 W (10/1000 µs) and 2800 W (10/10000 µs) non-repetitive peak impulse power dissipation. Thermal performance assumes ideal heatsink mounting per RθJC = 0.9 °C/W.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, RθJC ≈ 50 °C/W, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive load dump; limited to consumer/industrial low-energy transients | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs with <500 W surge exposure |
| SMCJ36A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC package, RθJC ≈ 1.5 °C/W, AEC-Q101 not claimed | Acceptable for some 24 V industrial systems but lacks full ISO 7637-2 validation and 175 °C rating | Consider where automotive qualification and 3600 W capability are not mandatory |
Compared with SMAJ36A and SMCJ36A, the TLD5S36AH uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 3600 W surge capacity, 0.9 °C/W thermal resistance, and validated ISO 7637-2 compliance-making it the only option qualified for high-energy automotive load dump protection in space-constrained DO-218AB footprint.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TLD5S36AH at its rated peak pulse current?
The TLD5S36AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.1 V at 62 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C) and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The TLD5S36AH maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operational temperature range due to its junction passivation design and thermal architecture.
Is the TLD5S36AH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TLD5S36AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge specifications under defined test conditions and supports continuous operation up to TJ = 175 °C. Its DO-218AB package, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and halogen-free construction align with automotive manufacturing and reliability requirements. The TLD5S36AH is intended for safety-critical power rail protection in ECUs, BCMs, and ADAS modules.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for the TLD5S36AH?
The TLD5S36AH has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.9 °C/W when mounted to an ideal heatsink. This low value enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper or external heatsink, supporting sustained operation during repetitive surge events. The RθJC specification assumes optimal thermal interface and mounting pressure, and actual system-level RθJA will depend on board layout and copper area. The TLD5S36AH's thermal performance is integral to its 3600 W peak power rating.
Does the TLD5S36AH meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the TLD5S36AH meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air discharge, ±8 kV contact discharge) and ISO 10605 Level L4. These ratings are confirmed in the official TSC documentation and reflect its capability to suppress fast-rising electrostatic discharges commonly encountered at vehicle connectors and user interfaces. As a unidirectional TVS, the TLD5S36AH provides targeted protection on positive rails, and its response time is sufficient to safeguard sensitive analog and digital components downstream. The TLD5S36AH's ESD performance is part of its broader transient immunity profile.
What is the marking code for the TLD5S36AH and how is polarity identified?
The TLD5S36AH is marked with "TLD5S36A" on the case, followed by date and factory codes. Polarity is indicated by a band on the cathode end of the DO-218AB package - consistent with industry-standard unidirectional TVS diode marking. The cathode terminal connects to the protected line (e.g., battery rail), while the anode connects to ground. This orientation ensures proper clamping action during positive-going transients. The TLD5S36AH's marking and polarity alignment are verified per JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and JEDEC-compliant visual inspection protocols.
