Product details
Overview
PTVS36VS1UR-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage clamping on DC power rails. It features VRWM = 36 V, VBR(min) = 40.0 V, VCL(max) = 58.1 V at IPPM = 6.9 A (10/1000 µs), and qualifies to AEC-Q101 for under-hood power supply protection.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS36VS1UR-Q datasheet, PTVS36VS1UR-Q pinout, PTVS36VS1UR-Q application, or PTVS36VS1UR-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. system rail tolerance, peak pulse current handling under ISO 7637-2 pulses, thermal resistance to PCB copper area, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a reverse-biased avalanche clamp: when transient voltage exceeds VRWM (36 V), it breaks down at VBR ≥ 40.0 V and limits downstream voltage to ≤58.1 V at 6.9 A peak pulse current. Its 1 mm profile and SOD123W footprint enable compact placement near connectors or IC power inputs.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform), it sustains 30 kV ESD contact discharge and exhibits IRM ≤ 0.001 µA at VRWM - ensuring minimal leakage in always-on 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 36 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; matches nominal 36 V battery or auxiliary rail systems. |
| VBR (min) | 40.0 V - Minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA; ensures reliable turn-on with margin above VRWM. |
| VCL (max) | 58.1 V - Maximum clamped voltage at 6.9 A IPPM; defines worst-case protected circuit stress during transients. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs); supports robust immunity against load dump and inductive switching events. |
| IRM | 0.001 µA - Reverse leakage at VRWM; negligible current draw in standby, critical for low-power always-on modules. |
| Rth(j-a) | 220 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4; informs derating requirements for sustained surge duty cycles. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing including temperature cycling, HBM ESD, and high-temp reverse bias life test. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for automated reflow assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Marked side with bar; connects to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode during overvoltage. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connects to ground reference; forms low-impedance path to GND during transient clamping; requires low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - Enables direct use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains without additional reliability validation. |
| Low-profile packaging | 1.0 mm max height - Allows placement beneath connectors or in tight board-to-board interfaces where Z-height is constrained. |
| High ESD robustness | 30 kV contact / 30 kV air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 - Protects against human-body and system-level electrostatic events in manufacturing and field operation. |
| Low leakage performance | IRM ≤ 0.001 µA at 36 V - Prevents battery drain in parked vehicle scenarios and avoids false triggering in precision sensing circuits. |
| Thermal design support | Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to solder point - Enables effective heat transfer to copper pour or thermal pad, improving surge endurance in repetitive event conditions. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Infotainment System USB Port Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamps load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) on 12 V supply feeding microcontroller and CAN transceivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between fused 12 V rail and local LDO input; responds within nanoseconds to suppress >100 V spikes. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by downstream regulators to ≤58.1 V, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to 40 V-rated input stages. |
Use Scenario: Guards 5 V USB VBUS line against hot-plug surges and ESD events in automotive head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS mounted directly at USB connector, with short trace to GND plane; clamps fast-rising ESD pulses before reaching USB PHY. Use Value: Withstands 30 kV contact discharge while maintaining <0.001 µA leakage, preserving USB enumeration integrity and bus power budget. |
| ADAS Camera Module Power Rail | Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Protects 3.3 V or 5 V imaging sensor power from coupled transients induced by nearby solenoid actuation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary TVS stage after primary bulk clamp; placed adjacent to image sensor IC to suppress residual ringing and overshoot. Use Value: 400 W rating handles multiple sequential transients; 1 mm height allows integration into slim camera housing PCBs. |
Use Scenario: Shields LIN transceiver VCC pin from battery feed disturbances during ignition and alternator regulation transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS connected between LIN node VCC and chassis ground; absorbs slow-rising but high-energy voltage excursions. Use Value: VRWM = 36 V accommodates wide automotive battery range (9–16 V nominal, up to 36 V during load dump), avoiding false triggering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ36A-Q | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but higher VCL = 59.0 V at 6.9 A; slightly larger SMA package (2.5 mm height). | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile automotive modules; identical AEC-Q101 qualification. | Select if existing SMA footprint reuse is prioritized over height reduction. |
| TPSMD36C-Q | Higher IPPM (7.5 A), lower VCL = 57.5 V; same SOD123W package; 30 kV ESD rating retained. | Better clamping margin for 36 V systems with tighter downstream voltage tolerances. | Prefer when protecting 40 V-rated loads requiring sub-58 V clamping ceiling. |
Compared with SMAJ36A-Q and TPSMD36C-Q, PTVS36VS1UR-Q delivers identical 400 W surge capability in the lowest possible 1 mm profile, making it optimal for next-generation compact automotive ECUs where Z-space and thermal mass are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS36VS1UR-Q at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 58.1 V at IPPM = 6.9 A under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform per IEC 61643-321. This value is measured with the device mounted on a standard FR4 PCB and represents the worst-case voltage imposed on protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event.
Does PTVS36VS1UR-Q support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - PTVS36VS1UR-Q is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured to clamp only reverse-polarity transients on a positive supply rail. It conducts when voltage at the cathode exceeds the anode by ≥40.0 V. For AC or bipolar signal line protection, a bidirectional variant such as PTVS36VS1UR-Q-B would be required.
How does the SOD123W package affect thermal performance in high-surge applications?
The SOD123W package achieves Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to the cathode solder point, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper. When mounted on a 1 cm² cathode pad, Rth(j-a) improves to 130 K/W - critical for sustaining repeated 400 W pulses without junction overheating beyond 150 °C.
Is PTVS36VS1UR-Q compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the device is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-20, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. The recommended reflow footprint (Fig. 4) specifies 0.1 mm stencil thickness and 2.1 mm × 1.6 mm solder land dimensions to ensure reliable wetting and mechanical attachment without tombstoning.
