Product details
Overview
TSM24ADBZR from Texas Instruments is a unidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode in SOT-23 (DBZ) package, designed for robust surge and ESD protection on 24-V industrial signal/power lines. It delivers 60-A IEC 61000-4-5 surge clamping at 38 V (typ), features 24-V working voltage, 75-nA max leakage, and 54-pF typical line capacitance - enabling protection of USB Type-C™ VBUS, PLC I/O, and 24-V motor driver interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
For engineers reviewing the TSM24ADBZR datasheet, TSM24ADBZR pinout, TSM24ADBZR application, or TSM24ADBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its unidirectional clamping behavior, low 38-V clamping voltage at 60 A, SOT-23 footprint compatibility with AOI, ±30-kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, and suitability for 12-V/24-V system-level EMC compliance per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
The TSM24ADBZR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered above 26-V breakdown (min) to shunt transients from I/O to GND while maintaining <75 nA leakage at 24 V. Its clamping response is optimized for 8/20-µs surge waveforms, delivering 38-V clamping at 60-A peak pulse current and 7-V forward clamping during reverse polarity events.
Thermally, it sustains operation from –40°C to 125°C with RθJA = 203.8°C/W in SOT-23, and integrates dual ESD protection: ±2.5-kV HBM and ±30-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge - all within a 2.92 mm × 2.37 mm leaded package requiring dual-GND connection for rated performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VRWM) | 24 V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage before leakage exceeds 100 nA; matches 12-V system rail protection with margin. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCLAMP) | 38 V (typ) at 60 A, 8/20 µs - limits downstream IC exposure during lightning-surge events to safe levels below logic supply rails. |
| Leakage Current (ILEAK) | 75 nA (max) at 24 V - ensures negligible power loss and no loading on high-impedance sensor or analog input lines. |
| Line Capacitance (CLINE) | 54 pF (typ) at 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on USB Type-C™ VBUS and digital I/O up to ~100 Mbps. |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air - exceeds industrial immunity requirements without external ESD staging components. |
| Surge Rating (IEC 61000-4-5) | 60 A, 8/20 µs - withstands 2.5-kV open-circuit surge coupled through 42 Ω impedance per standard test setup. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 26 V (min) at 10 mA - ensures reliable turn-on before protected circuitry reaches damage thresholds. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 2.37 mm × 1.12 mm (max height), leaded, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, tape-and-reel (3000 pcs/reel), marking "35J8".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | GND | Ground terminal - must be connected to PCB ground plane with low-inductance trace; shares internal bond wire with Pin 2. |
| Pin 2 | GND | Ground terminal - electrically tied to Pin 1 internally; both pins require parallel PCB connection to minimize loop inductance during surge events. |
| Pin 3 | I/O | Protected line terminal - connects to signal or power rail (e.g., VBUS, digital input); clamps transients to GND when voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping architecture | Enables precise overvoltage protection on single-ended lines (e.g., VBUS, 24-V outputs) without forward conduction during normal operation. |
| Low 38-V clamping at 60-A surge | Keeps protected ICs (e.g., RS-485 transceivers, MCU GPIOs) below absolute maximum ratings during IEC 61000-4-5 stress tests. |
| Dual-GND pin configuration | Reduces common-mode surge impedance by splitting return path; requires PCB layout with both Pins 1 & 2 tied to ground near device body. |
| 54-pF line capacitance | Minimizes signal rise-time degradation on high-speed lines like USB Type-C™ VBUS, supporting full-speed USB 2.0 data integrity. |
| ±30-kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating | Eliminates need for upstream ESD filters in industrial human-interface applications such as PLC front-panel buttons or sensor connectors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 5.3 mm × 4.5 mm footprint; 400-W peak pulse power; 38.9-V clamping at 43.5-A surge. | Larger board area required; higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 50°C/W); less suitable for dense layouts or AOI inspection. | Select SMAJ24A only when higher surge energy handling (>2800 W) is needed and PCB space permits larger package. |
| TSM24CA | Bidirectional variant; symmetric ±24-V standoff; 38-V clamping in both directions; same SOT-23 (DBZ) package and pinout. | Required for AC-coupled or differential lines (e.g., RS-485, CAN) where polarity reversal occurs; not suitable for VBUS or single-rail DC protection. | Choose TSM24CA instead of TSM24ADBZR only when protecting bidirectional signals or floating references where reverse polarity surges are expected. |
Compared with SMAJ24A, TSM24ADBZR saves >50% board area and enables automated optical inspection, while matching clamping performance at lower surge current. Against TSM24CA, TSM24ADBZR provides superior forward-conduction margin for unidirectional power/signal rails but lacks reverse-direction protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TSM24ADBZR during an IEC 61000-4-5 surge event?
The TSM24ADBZR exhibits a typical clamping voltage of 38 V at 60 A for an 8/20-µs surge waveform, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This value represents the peak voltage seen across the device during full-rated surge current, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The TSM24ADBZR maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
Can the TSM24ADBZR be used to protect bidirectional communication lines like RS-485?
No - the TSM24ADBZR is a unidirectional TVS diode optimized for single-ended lines such as VBUS or 24-V power rails. For bidirectional interfaces like RS-485 or CAN, TI recommends the TSM24CA, which offers symmetric clamping in both polarities while sharing the same SOT-23 (DBZ) package and pinout. Using TSM24ADBZR on bidirectional lines risks inadequate protection during negative-going transients.
How should the dual-GND pins (1 and 2) of the TSM24ADBZR be routed on the PCB?
Pins 1 and 2 of the TSM24ADBZR must be connected together to the system ground plane using short, wide, low-inductance traces - ideally joined directly beneath the device body. This minimizes ground loop inductance during surge events and ensures both pins share surge current equally. Failure to tie them together degrades clamping performance and may cause localized heating or premature failure under IEC 61000-4-5 stress.
Does the TSM24ADBZR meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements?
Yes - the TSM24ADBZR is rated for ±30-kV contact discharge and ±30-kV air-gap discharge per IEC 61000-4-2, exceeding Level 4 (±8-kV contact / ±15-kV air) by significant margin. This makes it suitable for front-end protection in industrial equipment subject to frequent operator interaction, such as control panels, sensor junction boxes, and medical device connectors - without requiring additional ESD staging components.
What is the leakage current specification for the TSM24ADBZR at its rated working voltage?
The TSM24ADBZR has a maximum leakage current of 75 nA at 24 V (VRWM) and 25°C, with a typical value of 25 nA. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power drain and avoids loading effects on high-impedance circuits such as precision sensor bridges or battery-monitoring inputs. Leakage remains below 45 nA up to 125°C, preserving performance in thermally demanding industrial enclosures.
