Product details

It is qualified to AEC-Q101, making it suitable for automotive electronic control units, battery management systems, and any 24V or 30V nominal rail that must survive load-dump or inductive kickback events.

Voltage ratings — the protection window

The reverse standoff voltage of 30.8V means the diode does not conduct appreciably below that level, so a 24V or 28V rail sees negligible leakage. Breakdown occurs at a minimum of 34.2V, and the clamping voltage at peak pulse current is 64.3V. That 64.3V ceiling is what the downstream circuitry must survive — if the protected device has a 60V absolute maximum, this part leaves only 4.3V of margin, so verify the load's voltage tolerance against the clamping spec.

Surge current and waveform context

The peak pulse current is listed as 62A for an 8/20µs waveform, which is the standard IEC 61000-4-5 surge shape. For the longer 10/1000µs telecom waveform the peak current will be lower — the 600W rating is the energy envelope. When sizing the TVS for a specific transient test, match the waveform to the datasheet's derating curves.

No power line protection feature is built in — this is a basic TVS, not a combination protector.

Frequently asked questions

Is SM6T36AY AEC-Q101 qualified?

Yes, the SM6T36AY is listed in the Automotive, AEC-Q101 series, confirming qualification for automotive-grade applications.

Is SM6T36AY RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not explicitly state RoHS compliance, but STMicroelectronics typically marks RoHS compliance on the datasheet. Verify the specific date code or packaging marking for confirmation.
