Product details
Overview
TLD8S30AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 30 V working stand-off voltage, 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 48.4 V clamping voltage at 136 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 power systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD8S30AH datasheet, TLD8S30AH pinout, TLD8S30AH application, or TLD8S30AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction capability, ISO 7637-2/16750-2 compliance, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W), and unidirectional polarity marking.
Technical Context
The TLD8S30AH uses junction passivation optimized design to sustain 175 °C continuous operation and withstand repetitive load dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path with 1.8 V max forward voltage at 100 A, enabling low-loss clamping during reverse-polarity surges.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 and ISO 10605 L4 ESD immunity, and exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.090 %/°C - enabling accurate breakdown voltage prediction across -55 °C to +175 °C operating range using the provided linear formula.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, RθJC ≈ 45 °C/W, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive underhood; limited to industrial or consumer-grade 30 V rail protection | Select only for non-automotive designs where cost outweighs thermal and reliability requirements |
| SMCJ30A | Same DO-214AB package, PPPM = 1500 W, RθJC ≈ 1.5 °C/W, AEC-Q101 qualified but TJ max = 150 °C | Acceptable for cabin modules but not engine bay due to lower thermal limit and reduced surge margin | Use when 1500 W surge capacity suffices and board space allows larger footprint than DO-218AB |
Compared with SMAJ30A and SMCJ30A, the TLD8S30AH provides 4.4× higher peak power rating, 56× lower thermal resistance, and full AEC-Q101/ISO 7637-2 compliance - making it the only option qualified for high-reliability automotive load dump protection in thermally demanding locations.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD8S30AH under standard test conditions?
The TLD8S30AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 136 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case transients. The TLD8S30AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its specified temperature coefficient of VBR.
Is the TLD8S30AH suitable for bidirectional surge protection applications?
No, the TLD8S30AH is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For bidirectional protection, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the TLD8S30CAH variant, which shares identical voltage ratings and package but features symmetrical breakdown behavior. Using the TLD8S30AH in a bidirectional configuration risks failure during positive-going transients on the anode side, as it lacks reverse-blocking capability beyond its VWM rating.
Does the TLD8S30AH require heatsinking in typical automotive applications?
The TLD8S30AH benefits significantly from heatsinking due to its 0.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - especially during repetitive surge events. While it can absorb single 6600 W pulses without external heatsink, sustained or frequent transients (e.g., in start-stop systems) require thermal interface to a copper pour or metal-core PCB. The DO-218AB package's exposed cathode pad is designed for direct thermal coupling, and Taiwan Semiconductor specifies performance "with ideal heatsink" in datasheet thermal curves.
What is the leakage current specification for the TLD8S30AH at its working stand-off voltage?
At its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 30.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the TLD8S30AH exhibits a maximum blocking leakage current (IR) of 10 µA. At elevated junction temperature (TJ = 175 °C), leakage increases to ≤150 µA - a critical parameter for low-power always-on automotive modules where quiescent current budgets are tight. This leakage remains well below thresholds that would trigger undervoltage lockout or drain battery reserves.
How does the TLD8S30AH meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a and 5b requirements?
The TLD8S30AH meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (12 V system) and Pulse 5b (24 V system) through its 6600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), 48.4 V clamping voltage, and ability to sustain 175 °C junction temperature during multi-pulse testing. Its DO-218AB package enables rapid heat dissipation, and its junction passivation ensures stable VBR and low leakage after repeated exposure - all verified per AEC-Q101 stress test protocols aligned with ISO 7637-2 validation methodology.
