Product details
Overview
TLD6S36AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 36.0 V working stand-off voltage, 40.0–44.2 V breakdown voltage at 5.0 mA test current, and 4600 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 TLD6S36AH datasheet, TLD6S36AH pinout, TLD6S36AH application, or TLD6S36AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (58.1 V at 79 A), junction temperature capability (−55 °C to +175 °C), unidirectional polarity, DO-218AB mechanical compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TLD6S36AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode optimized for high-energy automotive transients. Its 4600 W (10/1000 µs) and 3600 W (10/10000 µs) non-repetitive peak pulse power ratings enable robust load dump suppression per ISO 16750-2 and ISO 7637-2 Level V. The device features junction passivation and meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.85 °C/W with ideal heatsinking, supporting continuous operation up to TJ = 175 °C. Its 1.9 V forward voltage at 100 A ensures low conduction loss during high-current surges, while the 0.091 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR enables predictable voltage drift over temperature.

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, 58.1 V VC same but 300 A IPPM vs. 79 A | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 load dump; limited to lower-energy ESD/surge events | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications with <1 kW surge exposure |
| SMCJ36A | Same DO-214AB package, 1500 W PPPM (10/1000 µs), 58.1 V VC, higher IR (50 µA) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and fails ISO 16750-2 load dump margin | Acceptable for industrial 24 V systems lacking automotive certification requirements |
Compared with SMAJ36A and SMCJ36A, the TLD6S36AH delivers 3× higher surge power handling, automotive qualification, and tighter leakage-making it the sole choice for AEC-compliant load dump protection where 4600 W clamping and 175 °C operation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD6S36AH under surge conditions?
The TLD6S36AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.1 V when subjected to a 79 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transients. The TLD6S36AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range, ensuring consistent protection in under-hood environments.
Is the TLD6S36AH qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TLD6S36AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed explicitly for automotive use. It meets ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge specifications, supports junction temperatures up to +175 °C, and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing. These qualifications make the TLD6S36AH suitable for engine control units, body control modules, and other safety-critical vehicle subsystems requiring certified transient protection.
What package type does the TLD6S36AH use, and what are its mechanical advantages?
The TLD6S36AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, which features a flat, low-profile outline optimized for high-current handling and thermal dissipation. Its matte tin-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002, UL 94V-0 flammability rating enhances fire safety, and 2.682 g mass contributes to mechanical stability under automotive vibration. Unlike smaller packages like SMA or SMC, DO-218AB supports the 4600 W surge rating required for load dump compliance.
How does the TLD6S36AH compare to standard SMAJ or SMCJ series TVS diodes?
The TLD6S36AH delivers significantly higher surge capability (4600 W vs. 400 W for SMAJ36A and 1500 W for SMCJ36A), AEC-Q101 qualification, and lower leakage current (10 µA vs. 50 µA for SMCJ36A). Its DO-218AB package enables superior thermal performance (RθJC = 0.85 °C/W) and mechanical robustness. These attributes make the TLD6S36AH uniquely suited for automotive load dump protection where standard alternatives fall short in energy handling and certification.
What is the temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage for the TLD6S36AH?
The TLD6S36AH has a typical temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αT) of 0.091 %/°C. This value allows accurate prediction of VBR shift across temperature using the formula VBR@TJ = VBR@25°C × [1 + αT × (TJ − 25)]. For the TLD6S36AH, with VBR ranging from 40.0 V to 44.2 V at 25 °C, this coefficient ensures stable clamping behavior from −55 °C to +175 °C, critical for automotive under-hood reliability.
