Product details
Overview
PTVS26VS1UTR-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features VRWM = 26 V, VBR(min) = 28.9 V, VCL = 42.1 V at IPPM = 9.5 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS26VS1UTR-Q datasheet, PTVS26VS1UTR-Q pinout, PTVS26VS1UTR-Q application, or PTVS26VS1UTR-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under peak pulse current, thermal resistance to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and low-profile 1 mm height for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a planar silicon junction structure optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to transient surges per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform). Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased clamping only, with cathode-anode polarity defined by the marking bar.
Thermal design relies on low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to sustain 400 W peak pulse power at elevated junction temperatures. The device maintains stable VBR and VRWM across −55 °C to +185 °C ambient, with SZ = 0.5 mV/K temperature coefficient for predictable clamping behavior in engine bay or powertrain modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 26 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; sets minimum system rail margin. |
| VBR (min) | 28.9 V at IR = 1 mA - Guaranteed breakdown onset; ensures reliable turn-on above nominal rail. |
| VCL | 42.1 V at IPPM = 9.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per IEC 61643-321; enables robust protection against ISO 7637-2 pulses. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; critical for sustained surge duty in high-Tamb environments. |
| Tj max | 185 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive locations without derating. |
| IRM | 0.001 µA at VRWM - Ultra-low leakage; avoids parasitic drain in always-on 12 V/24 V systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat leads, cathode marked by bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to protected line (e.g., 24 V rail); marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground reference; forms low-impedance path during transient events to shunt surge current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test standard; eliminates need for additional qualification testing in Tier-1 designs. |
| 185 °C junction rating | Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power converters, ECUs) without thermal derating of PPPM. |
| 1 mm profile | Minimizes board space and improves airflow in dense power modules; compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI). |
| 30 kV ESD rating | Withstands contact/air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2; protects against handling and system-level ESD events. |
| Low Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper; sustains repeated 400 W pulses without thermal runaway. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial 24 V DC Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V battery-fed circuits (e.g., ADAS camera modules, body control units) from load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamps reverse-polarity surges and inductive spikes on supply lines within nanoseconds. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤42.1 V during 9.5 A surge, preventing latch-up or damage to 36 V-rated PMICs and microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial sensors powered from 24 V DC rails exposed to motor switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response transient suppressor placed at power entry to absorb repetitive 10/1000 µs surges.

| High-Temperature Engine Control Unit | Automotive Lighting Driver Protection |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection for fuel injector drivers and ignition coils mounted in engine compartments where ambient exceeds 125 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-temperature-stable TVS absorbing back-EMF spikes while maintaining clamping performance up to Tj = 185 °C. Use Value: Stable VBR and VRWM across temperature (SZ = 0.5 mV/K) ensure consistent protection margin without recalibration. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LED headlamp drivers from load dump and jump-start transients in 24 V vehicle architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device on input rail, coordinated with upstream fuses and secondary filtering. Use Value: 400 W PPPM handles full ISO 16750-2 load dump energy (≥100 J) when used with appropriate trace inductance and layout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ26A | Lower PPPM = 400 W but rated at 25 °C only; Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W vs. 18 K/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Not qualified for automotive; requires larger thermal pad or forced cooling for equivalent high-temp performance. | Select only for non-automotive industrial use where AEC-Q101 and 185 °C operation are not required. |
| SMCJ26A-Q | AEC-Q101 qualified, same VRWM/VCL, but SMC (DO-214AB) package: 7.1 mm × 6.2 mm × 2.6 mm - 4× larger footprint and 2.6× height. | Acceptable for under-dash modules with space margin; unsuitable for compact ADAS or lighting PCBs. | Choose when higher thermal mass is needed for infrequent high-energy surges, and board area permits larger package. |
Compared with SMAJ26A and SMCJ26A-Q, PTVS26VS1UTR-Q delivers identical 26 V protection with superior thermal efficiency (Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W), AEC-Q101 compliance, and ultra-low 1 mm profile-enabling direct replacement in space- and temperature-constrained automotive power designs without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for PTVS26VS1UTR-Q under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The clamping voltage VCL is 42.1 V at IPPM = 9.5 A for a 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61643-321. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and represents the peak voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events, ensuring compatibility with 36 V-rated ICs.
Is PTVS26VS1UTR-Q suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No. PTVS26VS1UTR-Q is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity. It clamps only reverse-biased transients (anode grounded, cathode to protected line). For bidirectional protection, a separate symmetric TVS or back-to-back configuration is required.
How does the 185 °C junction rating impact PCB layout decisions?
The 185 °C rating allows placement near heat sources without derating, but effective thermal management remains essential. Use ≥1 cm² copper pour on the cathode pad (per datasheet thermal condition [2]) to maintain Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W and prevent localized overheating during repeated surges.
What does the 'Q' suffix signify in PTVS26VS1UTR-Q?
The 'Q' suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. This part has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD per Automotive Electronics Council standards, confirming suitability for automotive electronic systems.
