Product details
Overview
PTVS16VS1UTR-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature transient overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features VRWM = 16 V, VBR(min) = 17.8 V, VCL = 26.0 V at IPPM = 15.4 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS16VS1UTR-QX datasheet, PTVS16VS1UTR-QX pinout, PTVS16VS1UTR-QX application, or PTVS16VS1UTR-QX equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/EMI suppression in 12 V automotive subsystems, battery management inputs, and industrial DC power interfaces where thermal stability and AEC-Q101 qualification are mandatory.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode clamps transients using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its low-profile SOD123W package enables high-density PCB layout while maintaining thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to solder point - critical for sustained surge handling in confined engine-bay environments.
It complies with IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform) and delivers 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge immunity. The temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage is +0.5 mV/K, ensuring stable clamping across –55 °C to +185 °C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 16 V reverse standoff voltage - blocks normal 12 V system operation while triggering only above safe threshold |
| VBR (min) | 17.8 V at IR = 1 mA - guarantees reliable avalanche initiation before downstream IC damage |
| VCL | 26.0 V at IPPM = 15.4 A - limits peak voltage seen by protected load during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W rated peak pulse power - sustains high-energy transients without degradation |
| Tj max | 185 °C maximum junction temperature - supports under-hood placement without derating |
| ESD rating | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for additional ESD front-end stages |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified per Automotive Electronics Council standard - validated for automotive production use |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body height, flat leads, cathode marked by bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to protected line side; carries full surge current during clamping |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground reference; forms low-impedance path to shunt transient energy |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature operation | Junction-rated to 185 °C - enables direct mounting near heat sources without thermal derating |
| Low-profile packaging | 1.0 mm max height - fits beneath low-clearance shields and in compact ADAS modules |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - meets stress-test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors |
| Low leakage | IRM ≤ 0.001 µA at VRWM - prevents parasitic drain in always-on vehicle networks |
| Stable clamping | +0.5 mV/K temperature coefficient - minimizes VCL drift across ambient extremes |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Automotive Infotainment USB Port |
|---|---|

Use Value: Sub-1 ns response time suppresses >1 kV fast-edge transients without affecting 12-bit ADC accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A-Q | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VRWM = 16 V, VCL = 26.0 V - identical clamping, higher IR (5 µA) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to industrial-grade systems | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability needs |
| TPSMD16A | Same VRWM/VCL, but larger SMA package (2.8 mm height); Tj max = 175 °C; AEC-Q101 qualified | Requires more board area; less suitable for ultra-thin modules | Choose when existing SMA footprint is fixed and thermal margin allows 10 °C lower Tj limit |
Compared with SMAJ16A-Q and TPSMD16A, PTVS16VS1UTR-QX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1 mm profile, and 185 °C junction rating - enabling next-generation compact, high-temperature automotive designs without trade-offs in surge capability or reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for PTVS16VS1UTR-QX under standard test conditions?
The clamping voltage VCL is 26.0 V at peak pulse current IPPM = 15.4 A, measured per IEC 61643-321 using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +185 °C junction), with typical variation <±5 %.
Is PTVS16VS1UTR-QX suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - PTVS16VS1UTR-QX is a unidirectional TVS diode, optimized for DC-biased lines like automotive 12 V power rails. For AC or dual-polarity signals, a bidirectional variant such as PTVS16VS1UTR-Q (not offered in -QX suffix) or separate back-to-back configuration is required.
How does the SOD123W package affect thermal performance compared to SMA or SMB?
The SOD123W package achieves Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to solder point - superior to standard SMA (≈35 K/W) due to its low-profile copper tab design. This enables higher sustained surge duty cycles in thermally constrained layouts without external heatsinking.
Does PTVS16VS1UTR-QX require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - while rated for Tj ≤ 185 °C, the peak pulse power must be derated above Tamb = 85 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. At 125 °C ambient, PPPM reduces to ≈220 W; full 400 W is only valid at Tamb ≤ 25 °C with proper PCB copper area.
