Product details
Overview
PTVS33VS1UR-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection. It features 33 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 40.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VCL) at 53.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and <0.001 µA reverse leakage current - deployed in power supply rails of engine control units and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS33VS1UR-Q datasheet, PTVS33VS1UR-Q pinout, PTVS33VS1UR-Q application, or PTVS33VS1UR-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W), and compatibility with high-density SMT layouts requiring ≤1 mm profile height.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, leveraging silicon avalanche breakdown to divert transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 18 K/W enables effective heat dissipation during repetitive surge events in automotive power domains.
The device complies with IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform) and achieves 30 kV ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact/air discharge), with breakdown voltage tightly specified at 36.7–40.6 V and VRWM fixed at 33 V - ensuring reliable hold-off during normal 12 V/24 V system operation while triggering fast under load dump or ISO 7637-2 pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 33 V - stable reverse blocking voltage during nominal 12 V/24 V automotive supply operation |
| VCL @ IPPM | 40.6 V max at 53.3 A - limits downstream IC voltage stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling per IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IRM | <0.001 µA - negligible leakage current preserving battery drain budget in always-on modules |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - low thermal resistance to cathode solder point, enabling PCB-level heat sinking in compact ECUs |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress |
| Package | SOD123W (CFP3) - 2.6 × 1.7 × 1.0 mm surface-mount footprint with 1 mm max height for low-profile assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, flat-lead, cathode-marked with bar; dimensions 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm; optimized for reflow soldering on FR4 PCBs with standard 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm solder pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); marking bar identifies this terminal; carries full surge current during clamping |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; completes conduction path during transient event; requires low-inductance ground plane routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for temperature cycling, high-temp reverse bias, and ESD robustness in vehicle environments |
| Low-profile packaging | 1.0 mm max height - enables placement beneath connectors or in space-constrained ADAS sensor modules |
| High ESD immunity | 30 kV contact / 30 kV air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 - protects against assembly-line and in-vehicle electrostatic events |
| Tight VBR tolerance | 36.7–40.6 V breakdown range - ensures predictable turn-on timing across production lots without overdesign margin |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W - allows >50% higher surge duty cycle vs. standard SOD-123 when mounted on thermally enhanced pads |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Infotainment System USB Port |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protects 12 V input stage of diesel/gasoline ECU against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump transients up to 120 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed upstream of DC-DC converter input capacitor. Use Value: Clamps to ≤40.6 V within nanoseconds, preventing overvoltage damage to buck controller ICs rated for 42 V absolute max. |
Use Scenario: Shields USB 2.0 data lines and VBUS rail in head unit against ESD and cable-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; unidirectional TVS used on VBUS only due to grounded data lines. Use Value: Sub-1 µA leakage preserves sleep-mode current budget; 30 kV ESD rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 system-level test requirement. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus | ADAS Camera Power Rail |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguards LIN transceiver power pin against battery reversal and jump-start induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed between fuse output and transceiver VCC pin. Use Value: 33 V VRWM matches typical LIN bus supply; 400 W PPPM handles sustained 100 ms surges without degradation. |
Use Scenario: Guards 5 V/3.3 V camera module power input against hot-swap and capacitive discharge spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on PMIC input, coordinated with ceramic bulk capacitance. Use Value: 1 mm height avoids interference with lens housing; Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W maintains junction temp <125 °C under repeated 10/1000 µs pulses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ33A-Q | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VCL (48.4 V) and larger SMA package (2.4 mm height) | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile modules; higher clamping increases risk to 3.3 V logic downstream | Select when board space allows taller profile and legacy footprint compatibility is required |
| TPSMD33A | Same VRWM/VCL specs, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; Rth(j-a) = 220 K/W vs. 70 K/W for PTVS33VS1UR-Q | Not approved for automotive safety-critical functions; thermal derating needed above 70 °C ambient | Acceptable for industrial power supplies where qualification and thermal performance are non-critical |
Compared with SMAJ33A-Q and TPSMD33A, PTVS33VS1UR-Q delivers superior thermal management (18 K/W to solder point), lower clamping voltage (40.6 V), and guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive power nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for PTVS33VS1UR-Q under IEC 61643-321 conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 40.6 V at 53.3 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured using the standardized 10/1000 µs current waveform per IEC 61643-321. This value is guaranteed across temperature and production lot, ensuring consistent overvoltage limiting in automotive load-dump scenarios.
Is PTVS33VS1UR-Q suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - PTVS33VS1UR-Q is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC-biased lines like positive power rails. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥36.7 V. For AC or dual-polarity signal lines (e.g., CAN, LIN data), a bidirectional variant such as PTVS33VS1UR-S must be selected.
How does the SOD123W package improve thermal performance over standard SOD-123?
The SOD123W (CFP3) package reduces junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance to 18 K/W - 3.9× lower than typical SOD-123 (≈70 K/W). This is achieved via widened cathode tab and optimized internal die attach, enabling higher surge repetition rates without thermal runaway in automotive under-hood environments.
Does PTVS33VS1UR-Q require external series impedance for optimal protection?
Yes - like all TVS diodes, it must be placed downstream of a current-limiting element (e.g., fuse, PTC, or trace impedance) to prevent destructive follow-on current during sustained overvoltage. The device clamps quickly but relies on upstream impedance to limit total energy dissipated in the junction during long-duration faults.
