Product details
Overview
TLD8S24AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 24 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 26.7–29.5 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 38.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 170 A peak impulse current, and 6600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It delivers automotive-grade surge protection for load dump events in 12 V/24 V vehicle electrical systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD8S24AH datasheet, TLD8S24AH pinout, TLD8S24AH application, or TLD8S24AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction capability, ISO 7637-2 compliance, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W), and unidirectional polarity marking for correct PCB orientation.
Technical Context
The TLD8S24AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode optimized for high-energy transients in automotive power networks. Its junction passivation design enables stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C, and it meets ISO 7637-2 (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 surge requirements under defined test conditions.
With a 0.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and 8 W steady-state power dissipation, the device relies on PCB copper area or external heatsinking for thermal management during repetitive surges. Its 10 µA max leakage at VWM and 0.087 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient support precise voltage clamping across wide ambient ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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, VBR 26.7–29.7 V | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 load dump; limited to lower-energy ESD/surge events | Select only for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications with <500 W surge exposure |
| TPSMD24 | DO-218AB package, AEC-Q101 qualified, PPPM = 6600 W, VBR 26.7–29.5 V, but higher VC = 43.5 V | Clamps to higher voltage-may exceed downstream IC limits in tight-margin designs | Acceptable where 43.5 V clamping is within system tolerance; verify with actual load dump waveform testing |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPSMD24, the TLD8S24AH provides identical VBR and superior thermal performance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W vs. ~1.5–2.0 °C/W), enabling more robust thermal design margins in space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the peak pulse power rating of the TLD8S24AH and under which waveform condition?
The TLD8S24AH has a peak pulse power rating of 6600 W when subjected to a 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This rating reflects its capability to absorb high-energy automotive load dump transients without failure, validated per ISO 7637-2 test conditions. The TLD8S24AH maintains this rating at TA = 25 °C with proper thermal management.
Is the TLD8S24AH suitable for bidirectional surge protection applications?
No, the TLD8S24AH is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for DC power line protection where polarity is fixed. For bidirectional protection, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the TLD8S24CAH variant, which shares identical VWM, VBR, and PPPM specs but features symmetrical breakdown in both directions. Using TLD8S24AH in AC or reversible-polarity circuits may result in unintended conduction or failure.
Does the TLD8S24AH meet AEC-Q101 qualification requirements?
Yes, the TLD8S24AH is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity bias HAST. This qualification confirms its suitability for automotive underhood and chassis-mounted applications where reliability over 15 years and extreme thermal cycling are required.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD8S24AH and at what current is it specified?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the TLD8S24AH is 38.9 V, measured at a peak impulse current (IPPM) of 170 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures that downstream components with 40 V absolute maximum ratings remain within safe operating limits during worst-case load dump events, as verified in production lot testing per TSC's quality protocol.
How does the thermal performance of the TLD8S24AH compare to standard SMA-package TVS diodes?
The TLD8S24AH achieves a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.8 °C/W due to its DO-218AB package construction and internal die attach optimization-over 5× better than typical SMA-package TVS diodes (~5–6 °C/W). This allows the TLD8S24AH to sustain higher average power in compact automotive modules without external heatsinks, provided adequate PCB copper area is used per TSC's recommended pad layout.
