Product details
Overview
TLD8S30CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor in DO-218AB package, with 30.0 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 33.3–36.8 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA, 48.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 136 A peak impulse current, and 6600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It delivers load dump surge protection in 12 V/24 V automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD8S30CAH datasheet, TLD8S30CAH pinout, TLD8S30CAH application, or TLD8S30CAH equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional polarity, ISO 7637-2/16750-2 compliance, 175 °C junction rating, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W), and leakage current ≤10 µA at VWM.
Technical Context
The TLD8S30CAH is a silicon avalanche diode designed for unidirectional or bidirectional transient suppression in harsh automotive environments. Its junction passivation optimized structure enables stable operation up to TJ = 175 °C, and it meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 and ISO 10605 L4 ESD immunity requirements.
It supports both 10/1000 µs (6600 W) and 10/10000 µs (5200 W) surge waveforms per ISO 7637-2, with clamping voltage tightly controlled at 48.4 V under 136 A impulse. The device's temperature coefficient of VBR is +0.090 %/°C, enabling predictable voltage drift over temperature.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30CA | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package, RθJC ≈ 45 °C/W, VBR = 33.3–37.1 V | Not suitable for load dump; limited to ESD and low-energy transients | Select TLD8S30CAH when ISO 7637-2 compliance and >6 kW surge capability are required. |
| SMCJ30CA | Same DO-214AB package, PPPM = 1500 W, VBR = 33.3–37.1 V, TJ max = 150 °C | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C rating; not validated for under-hood use | Choose TLD8S30CAH for automotive under-hood deployment where extended temperature and qualification are mandatory. |
Compared with SMAJ30CA and SMCJ30CA, the TLD8S30CAH provides 4.4× higher peak pulse power, 25 °C higher junction temperature rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and DO-218AB package with superior thermal resistance-making it the only option qualified for full automotive load dump protection in demanding powertrain and chassis systems.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of the TLD8S30CAH?
The TLD8S30CAH is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor, meaning it clamps voltage transients in both positive and negative directions relative to ground. Its marking code "TLD8S30A" and "CAH" suffix confirm bidirectional functionality, unlike the "AH"-suffixed unidirectional variants. This allows single-device protection of differential or AC-coupled lines such as LIN or sensor interfaces without polarity concerns.
Does the TLD8S30CAH meet AEC-Q101 stress test requirements?
Yes, the TLD8S30CAH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation. It has passed temperature cycling, highly accelerated stress testing (HAST), mechanical shock, vibration, and solderability tests defined in the AEC-Q101 standard, confirming suitability for automotive under-hood and chassis applications where reliability is critical.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD8S30CAH under surge conditions?
The TLD8S30CAH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at its peak impulse current of 136 A. This value is measured per standard test conditions and ensures downstream ICs and regulators remain within safe operating voltage limits during severe load dump events in 24 V vehicle systems.
Can the TLD8S30CAH be used in 12 V automotive systems?
Yes, the TLD8S30CAH is compatible with 12 V automotive systems. Its 30.0 V working stand-off voltage (VWM) provides sufficient margin above the 13.5–14.8 V nominal charging voltage, while its 48.4 V clamping voltage remains well below the absolute maximum ratings of most 12 V-rated power management ICs and microcontrollers.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for the TLD8S30CAH?
The TLD8S30CAH has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.8 °C/W, measured with an ideal heatsink. This low value enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper pour or external heatsink, supporting sustained 8 W steady-state power dissipation and high-reliability operation in thermally constrained automotive modules.
