SM8S24ATHE3/I VISHAY Diode

The SM8S24ATHE3/I is a robust choice for protecting 24V systems from severe transients. When selecting it, ensure your system's standard operating voltage is 24V; the diode will activate with a minimum breakdown of 26.7V and clamp surges to a safe 38.9V. Its defining feature is an immense 6.6kW peak pulse power capacity, handling up to 170A. This AEC-Q101-qualified device is purpose-built for direct automotive load dump protection in trucks and heavy vehicles. Beyond automotive, its -55°C to +175°C range and high surge rating make it ideal for protecting downstream electronics in rugged industrial motor controls, agricultural machinery, and off-grid solar inverters. The surface-mount DO-218AB package simplifies high-reliability assembly. In stock at HL Electronics – request a quote for fast delivery.
