Product details
Overview
PTVS26VS1UR/8X from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for clamping transient overvoltages on DC power rails. It features VRWM = 26 V, VBR(min) = 28.9 V, VCL(max) = 42.1 V at IPPM = 9.5 A (10/1000 µs), and IRM ≤ 0.001 µA - enabling robust protection in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS26VS1UR/8X datasheet, PTVS26VS1UR/8X pinout, PTVS26VS1UR/8X application, or PTVS26VS1UR/8X equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to system rail, peak pulse current handling under IEC 61643-321 waveform, thermal resistance to PCB copper area, cathode-anode polarity marking, and qualification status for automotive use.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a reverse-biased avalanche diode, triggering when transient voltage exceeds its 26 V standoff level and clamping to ≤42.1 V at 9.5 A peak pulse current. Its 1 mm profile and SOD123W footprint support high-density PCB layouts while maintaining 400 W peak pulse power per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs).
Thermal performance depends on PCB mounting: Rth(j-a) ranges from 70 K/W (ceramic) to 220 K/W (FR4 single-sided), and Rth(j-sp) is 18 K/W at the cathode solder point. The device is AEC-Q101 qualified per revision history, though automotive applicability is conditional on specific part-number qualification status.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 26 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min) | 28.9 V - minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA test current, defining turn-on threshold |
| VCL (max) | 42.1 V - maximum clamped voltage at 9.5 A IPPM, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 µs waveform, defining surge energy capacity |
| IRM | ≤0.001 µA - reverse leakage at VRWM, ensuring minimal standby power loss |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, critical for sustained surge duty cycle |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2), supporting robust board-level ESD immunity |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., +26 V rail); marking bar identifies this terminal |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; polarity must be observed to ensure proper clamping direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile SMD package | 1 mm height enables use in ultra-thin power modules and compact consumer electronics |
| High surge capability | 400 W peak pulse power supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity designs |
| Tight VBR tolerance | Min–max spread of 28.9 V to 31.9 V ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Qualified per revision history for automotive-grade reliability in non-safety-critical subsystems |
| Low leakage current | ≤0.001 µA at 26 V reduces quiescent power drain in battery-backed systems |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | DC Motor Drive Control Board |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V DC input stage of programmable logic controller (PLC) power module against load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between +24 V rail and GND, clamping surges within 1 ns response time. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤42.1 V, preventing damage to upstream DC-DC controllers and downstream microcontrollers rated for 36 V absolute max. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding gate driver supply rail in 24 V brushed DC motor H-bridge against back-EMF spikes during commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode mounted directly at driver IC VDD pin, with cathode tied to 24 V rail and anode to GND. Use Value: Absorbs 9.5 A peak pulses without degradation, preserving gate driver functionality and preventing false shutdowns during high-dV/dt events. |
| Telecom Remote Power Feeding | Factory Automation Sensor Node |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24–48 V PoE-powered remote radio unit (RRU) front-end from lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage TVS on DC input path, coordinated with downstream MOVs and gas discharge tubes. Use Value: Provides fast-response clamping (sub-nanosecond) with low VCL, reducing let-through energy to <100 mJ and extending secondary protection lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Shielding 24 V analog sensor interface (4–20 mA loop powered) from ESD and cable coupling noise in robotic cell environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized protection at sensor connector entry point, leveraging SOD123W's small footprint for dense I/O modules. Use Value: Delivers 30 kV ESD immunity and <0.001 µA leakage, ensuring signal integrity and zero impact on loop calibration accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ26A | Same VRWM (26 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W only at 10/1000 µs; VCL = 42.5 V at 9.2 A; SMA package (2.5 mm height) | Higher profile limits use in ultra-low-height assemblies; identical clamping performance but less optimized for automated SMT placement | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and 1 mm height constraint does not apply |
| SMCJ26A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger DO-214AB package (4.5 mm height), VCL = 42.1 V at 35.7 A | Over-specified for 400 W needs; better suited for primary surge protection, not local rail clamping | Choose only if system-level surge requirements exceed IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 or if thermal mass demands larger package |
Compared with SMAJ26A and SMCJ26A, PTVS26VS1UR/8X delivers identical clamping voltage at rated current but in a 1 mm-height SOD123W package - making it optimal for space-limited, high-density 24 V industrial power nodes where mechanical clearance and SMT process yield are critical.

FAQ
Is PTVS26VS1UR/8X qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - per the revision history in the official Nexperia datasheet (v.4, Dec 2025), PTVS26VS1UR/8X is among the 33 types explicitly changed to standard AEC-Q101 qualification status. It meets Stress Test Qualification for Discrete Semiconductors but is not intended for safety-critical systems like airbag or braking control.
What is the maximum clamping voltage at 5 A transient current?
Per Table 8 of the datasheet, at Tj = 25 °C and IPPM = 9.5 A (10/1000 µs), VCL(max) = 42.1 V. For 5 A, interpolation yields ~38.5 V - confirmed by the typical V-I curve (Fig. 4), where clamping voltage scales sublinearly with current below rated IPPM.
Can PTVS26VS1UR/8X replace PTVS24VS1UR in a 24 V system?
No - VRWM is fixed at 26 V, meaning it begins clamping above 26 V. In a nominal 24 V system with ±10 % tolerance (up to 26.4 V), this part may conduct during normal operation. Use PTVS24VS1UR (VRWM = 24 V) or PTVS22VS1UR (VRWM = 22 V) for tighter margin.
How does PCB layout affect thermal performance?
Thermal resistance varies significantly with copper area: Rth(j-a) drops from 220 K/W (FR4, minimal pad) to 70 K/W (Al₂O₃ ceramic). For reliable 400 W surge handling, Nexperia recommends ≥1 cm² cathode-side copper pour and use of thermal vias to internal ground planes per the SOD123W footprint guidelines.
