Product details
Overview
TLD6S24AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for automotive load dump surge protection in 24V systems, with a working stand-off voltage of 24.0 V, breakdown voltage range 26.7–29.5 V at 5.0 mA, clamping voltage of 38.9 V at 118 A (10/1000 μs), and peak pulse power rating of 4600 W. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, rated for TJ = 175 °C, and housed in DO-218AB package.
For engineers reviewing the TLD6S24AH datasheet, TLD6S24AH pinout, TLD6S24AH application, or TLD6S24AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24V system compatibility, ISO 7637-2/ISO 16750-2 compliance, unidirectional polarity, 0.85 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and 10 µA max leakage at VWM - critical for low-power automotive electronics and battery-connected modules.
Technical Context
The TLD6S24AH implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for high-energy transient suppression in automotive power networks. Its unidirectional configuration enables robust reverse-biased clamping during load dump events, while junction passivation ensures stable performance up to 175 °C junction temperature.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 supply voltage variation requirements, with verified clamping behavior under 10/1000 μs and 10/10000 μs waveforms. Thermal design relies on low RθJC (0.85 °C/W) and DO-218AB's copper strap construction for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper planes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 24.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction; defines safe operating margin in 24V automotive systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 26.7 V / 29.5 V at 5.0 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable triggering above nominal bus voltage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 38.9 V at 118 A (10/1000 μs) - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during worst-case transients. |
| PPPM (10/1000 μs) | 4600 W - Peak surge power handling capacity; supports full ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (35 V, 100 ms) energy absorption. |

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, VC = 38.9 V @ 10.3 A | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5; limited to lower-energy transients in non-automotive or 12V systems. | Select only if surge energy is <10% of TLD6S24AH's capability and thermal constraints allow higher junction rise. |
| SMCJ24A | Higher PPPM (1500 W), SMC package, RθJC ≈ 10 °C/W, VC = 38.9 V @ 38.9 A | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b but not 5a; insufficient for full 35 V/100 ms load dump in 24V architectures. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial 24V systems where full automotive qualification is not required. |
Compared with SMAJ24A and SMCJ24A, the TLD6S24AH delivers 3× and 3.1× higher peak power handling respectively, combined with AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C operation, and DO-218AB's superior thermal interface - making it the only option validated for full automotive load dump compliance in production ECUs and ADAS modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD6S24AH under standard test conditions?
The TLD6S24AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 38.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 μs peak pulse current of 118 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case transients. The TLD6S24AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, supporting robust design margins in automotive power systems.
Is the TLD6S24AH qualified for automotive use according to industry standards?
Yes, the TLD6S24AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly tested to meet ISO 7637-2 (Pulse 5a/b load dump) and ISO 16750-2 (supply voltage variation) requirements. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature rating, junction passivation, and moisture sensitivity level 1 classification confirm suitability for underhood automotive applications. The TLD6S24AH is not intended for medical or life-sustaining systems.
What package type does the TLD6S24AH use, and what are its thermal advantages?
The TLD6S24AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, featuring a copper strap construction that achieves a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.85 °C/W with an ideal heatsink. This is approximately 6× better than standard SMA packages and enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper planes - essential for sustaining multiple high-energy surges without thermal runaway in automotive modules.
How does the TLD6S24AH differ from the TLD6S24A variant listed in the same family?
The TLD6S24AH includes the "H" suffix denoting halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliance, whereas TLD6S24A lacks this designation. Both share identical electrical parameters, DO-218AB packaging, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "H" version is required for automotive OEMs mandating halogen-free materials in final assemblies; TLD6S24AH is the production-grade, environmentally compliant variant.
Can the TLD6S24AH be used in 12V automotive systems, or is it strictly for 24V applications?
The TLD6S24AH is optimized for 24V nominal systems due to its 24.0 V working stand-off voltage (VWM) and 26.7–29.5 V breakdown range. Using it in 12V systems risks premature conduction during normal operation (e.g., cold-crank dips or ripple), increasing leakage and thermal stress. For 12V applications, TLD6S12AH or TLD6S14AH are appropriate alternatives with matched VWM ratings.
