Product details
Overview
TLD6S28AH 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 mA, and 45.4 V clamping voltage at 101 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), delivering 4600 W peak pulse power for automotive load dump protection.
For engineers reviewing the TLD6S28AH datasheet, TLD6S28AH pinout, TLD6S28AH application, or TLD6S28AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction capability, ISO 7637-2/ISO 16750-2 compliance, unidirectional polarity, and DO-218AB thermal performance with RθJC = 0.85 °C/W.
Technical Context
The TLD6S28AH implements a single-die silicon avalanche structure optimized for high-energy transients in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. Its junction passivation design enables stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C and meets stringent automotive surge standards including ISO 7637-2 (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 (electrical disturbances).
It delivers 4600 W non-repetitive peak impulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform and 3600 W under 10/10000 µs, with low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) and temperature coefficient of VBR = 0.089 %/°C - enabling predictable voltage clamping across wide ambient and junction temperature ranges.
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 (10/1000 µs); SMA package; RθJC ≈ 45 °C/W | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 load dump; limited to ESD/low-energy transients | Select TLD6S28AH when automotive load dump immunity is required; SMAJ28A only for consumer-grade surge suppression. |
| SMCJ28A | PPPM = 1500 W (10/1000 µs); SMC package; RθJC ≈ 1.5 °C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and thermal performance for under-hood deployment | TLD6S28AH preferred for AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring >4000 W surge capacity and 175 °C operation. |
Compared with SMAJ28A and SMCJ28A, the TLD6S28AH provides 3× higher peak power handling, 50× lower thermal resistance, and formal AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the only option among the three validated for front-end automotive load dump protection in production ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD6S28AH under standard test conditions?
The TLD6S28AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs peak pulse current of 101 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and ensures downstream components see limited overvoltage during automotive load dump events. The TLD6S28AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low VBR temperature coefficient of 0.089 %/°C.
Is the TLD6S28AH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TLD6S28AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 (load dump), ISO 16750-2 (electrical disturbances), and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance further validate its suitability for under-hood and safety-critical automotive systems.
What package type does the TLD6S28AH use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The TLD6S28AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound. Its junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) is 0.85 °C/W under ideal heatsink conditions, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or external metal surfaces. This allows sustained power dissipation up to 6 W and supports high-reliability operation in thermally demanding automotive environments.
How does the TLD6S28AH differ from the TLD6S28A variant?
The TLD6S28AH includes the "H" suffix denoting halogen-free construction per IEC 61249-2-21, whereas TLD6S28A lacks this designation. Both share identical electrical specifications (VWM = 28.0 V, VBR = 31.1–34.4 V, VC = 45.4 V), DO-218AB packaging, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The "H" version is required for RoHS-compliant and environmentally restricted automotive programs.
Can the TLD6S28AH be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the TLD6S28AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and must be used with correct polarity - cathode toward the protected line, anode to ground. It does not provide symmetrical clamping for negative transients. For bidirectional protection, two TLD6S28AH devices in series-opposing configuration or a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., TLD6S28AH-BD, if offered) would be required - but the TLD6S28AH itself is strictly unidirectional per its polarity marking and datasheet specification.
