Product details
Overview
PTVS26VS1UR-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection at 26 V reverse standoff voltage. It delivers 42.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), clamps transients to ≤31.9 V, and exhibits ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage at VRWM - deployed in engine control units, infotainment power rails, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS26VS1UR-QX datasheet, PTVS26VS1UR-QX pinout, PTVS26VS1UR-QX application, or PTVS26VS1UR-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1 mm profile for space-constrained PCB layouts, low clamping ratio (VCL/VRWM ≈ 1.23), and compatibility with IEC 61643-321 surge waveforms.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device in series with power input lines, activating only when transient voltage exceeds 26 V VRWM. Its silicon avalanche structure ensures sub-nanosecond response time and stable breakdown at 28.9–31.9 V (VBR min–max), with thermal resistance to solder point of 18 K/W enabling reliable energy dissipation during repetitive surges.
The device uses a planar junction process optimized for high-reliability automotive environments, supporting continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and surviving 30 kV ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge). Its cathode-marked SOD123W footprint aligns with IPC-7351B standard land patterns for reflow and wave soldering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 26 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR (min–max) | 28.9 V to 31.9 V - guaranteed avalanche breakdown range at 1 mA test current |
| VCL @ IPPM | ≤31.9 V - clamped voltage under 42.1 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per IEC 61643-321, enabling robust ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b suppression |
| IRM | ≤0.1 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage at VRWM, minimizing standby power loss in battery-critical systems |
| Package | SOD123W (CFP3) - 2.6 × 1.7 × 1.0 mm surface-mount outline with cathode bar marking |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - certified for automotive applications including powertrain and chassis modules |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) is a 2-terminal surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm with 1 mm maximum height, optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts. The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the component body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected circuit ground or low-side return path; polarity-sensitive for unidirectional clamping |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V supply rail); conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for temperature cycling, HBM ESD (8 kV), and mechanical shock per automotive reliability standards |
| Low-profile mounting | 1.0 mm max height - enables use in thin automotive ECUs and compact ADAS camera modules without mechanical interference |
| High surge robustness | 400 W PPPM (10/1000 µs) - suppresses ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (50 V/100 ms) and Pulse 5b (100 V/100 ms) without degradation |
| Low leakage performance | ≤0.1 µA IRM at 26 V - preserves battery life in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., CAN FD wake-up circuits) |
| ESD resilience | 30 kV contact / 30 kV air discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - protects against human-body and system-level electrostatic events |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Infotainment System USB-C Port |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ26A-Q | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VCL (38.9 V) and larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm) | Not suitable for 1 mm height-constrained automotive modules; requires larger PCB area | Select when legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and board height is not constrained. |
| TPSMD26H-Q | Same VRWM and VCL, but rated for 500 W PPPM and qualified to AEC-Q101 Grade 0 (−55 °C to +175 °C) | Supports extended temperature range for under-hood applications beyond standard AEC-Q101 Grade 1 | Choose for engine bay locations exceeding 150 °C ambient or requiring higher surge margin. |
Compared with SMAJ26A-Q and TPSMD26H-Q, PTVS26VS1UR-QX offers optimal balance of ultra-low profile (1 mm), AEC-Q101 Grade 1 compliance, and precise 26 V clamping for cabin-located electronics where space and cost are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS26VS1UR-QX under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 31.9 V at 42.1 A peak pulse current, measured per IEC 61643-321. This value is guaranteed across temperature and lifetime, ensuring consistent protection margin for 24 V automotive systems.
Does PTVS26VS1UR-QX support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - it is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode (K) and anode (A) terminals. It clamps only positive transients relative to ground. For bidirectional protection, two devices in series-opposing configuration or a dedicated bidirectional part like PTVS26VS1UR-Q must be used.
How does the SOD123W package affect thermal performance in high-density PCB layouts?
With Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to the cathode solder point, the SOD123W package enables efficient heat transfer to copper pour even in tight layouts. Its 1 mm height avoids shadowing adjacent components, and the standardized footprint supports automated optical inspection and rework.
Is PTVS26VS1UR-QX compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - it is qualified for standard JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C. The CFP3 package withstands multiple reflow cycles, and Nexperia provides recommended stencil thickness (0.1 mm) and land pattern dimensions in the datasheet.
