Product details
Overview
PTVS3V3S1UR from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for low-profile PCB-level overvoltage protection. It features 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 5.2–6.0 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 10 mA, 8.0 V clamping voltage (VCL) at 43.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS3V3S1UR datasheet, PTVS3V3S1UR pinout, PTVS3V3S1UR application, or PTVS3V3S1UR equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/surge protection in space-constrained 3.3 V rail interfaces-especially where low clamping voltage, sub-1 mm height, and IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs) compliance are critical.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a silicon avalanche diode, triggered when transient voltage exceeds VRWM = 3.3 V. Its VBR (5.2–6.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on before system damage, while VCL = 8.0 V at IPPM = 43.8 A limits downstream voltage stress under standardized 10/1000 µs surges.
Thermal design is supported by Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to cathode solder point and Rth(j-a) = 70–220 K/W depending on PCB layout. The device sustains 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD and >4 kV HBM, with junction temperature rated up to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 3.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage rises significantly; sets protection threshold for 3.3 V logic rails. |
| VBR (min–max) | 5.20–6.00 V at IR = 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; guarantees activation before IC damage in 3.3 V systems. |
| VCL | 8.0 V at IPPM = 43.8 A - Clamped voltage during full-rated surge; keeps protected ICs below absolute maximum ratings. |
| PPPM | 350 W - Peak pulse power rating per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs); lower than series max due to thermal derating at 3.3 V. |
| IRM | 5 µA max at VRWM - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life and signal integrity in always-on circuits. |
| Package | SOD123W (CFP3) - 2.6 × 1.7 × 1.0 mm surface-mount package enabling high-density placement near connectors or IC inputs. |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact) - Withstands repeated electrostatic discharge events without degradation. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, flat lead, 1.0 mm maximum height, marking bar denotes cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., USB D+, CAN_H); polarity-sensitive connection for unidirectional clamping. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; forms low-impedance path to shunt surge energy during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-profile mounting | 1.0 mm max height enables use in ultra-thin consumer and automotive ECUs without mechanical interference. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per discrete semiconductor standard. |
| High surge robustness | Withstands 43.8 A (10/1000 µs) at 8.0 V clamping - protects sensitive 3.3 V microcontrollers and transceivers against ISO 7637-2 pulses. |
| Low leakage & fast response | 5 µA IR at 3.3 V and sub-nanosecond response time ensure minimal standby power loss and immediate clamping. |
| Standardized footprint | Compatible with JEDEC SOD123W land pattern (Fig. 6), supporting automated reflow assembly and IPC-compliant solder joint reliability. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB D+ and D− lines in infotainment head units from ESD and load dump coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed directly at connector, clamping transients before reaching USB PHY IC. Use Value: 8.0 V clamping ensures USB 2.0 receiver (max 3.6 V) remains within safe operating margin even during 43.8 A surge. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus transceiver inputs in door modules exposed to battery disconnection spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on LIN data line, activated only during overvoltage events above 3.3 V. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and 150 °C junction rating support operation in under-hood temperature extremes. |
| Industrial PLC Digital Input | IoT Sensor Node Power Rail |
Use Scenario: Shielding 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs connected to external 24 V field wiring subject to inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage TVS on input conditioning stage, preventing latch-up during 10/1000 µs surges. Use Value: 5 µA IR at 3.3 V avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits while maintaining fast response. |
Use Scenario: Securing coin-cell-powered environmental sensors against ESD during handling and board assembly. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ESD suppressor on VDD line, placed adjacent to sensor IC power pins. Use Value: 30 kV contact ESD rating meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, eliminating need for secondary protection layers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ3.3A | DO-214AC package (4.5 × 2.7 × 2.2 mm); 400 W PPPM; VBR = 4.8–5.3 V; VCL = 9.8 V @ 41.2 A | Larger footprint and higher clamping voltage reduce suitability for ultra-compact 3.3 V designs | Select when board space allows larger package and higher VCL is acceptable for legacy designs. |
| TPSMF3.3A | SOD-123FL package (2.7 × 1.7 × 1.0 mm); 400 W PPPM; VBR = 4.8–5.3 V; VCL = 8.5 V @ 40.0 A | Same height but longer body; slightly higher VCL increases risk margin for 3.3 V I/O with tight VIH/VIL | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 0.5 V higher clamping is tolerable and footprint compatibility exists. |
Compared with SMAJ3.3A and TPSMF3.3A, PTVS3V3S1UR delivers the lowest clamping voltage (8.0 V) and smallest volume (4.4 mm³) in its class-critical for protecting modern 3.3 V logic with narrow voltage margins and strict PCB height constraints.

FAQ
Is PTVS3V3S1UR suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No. PTVS3V3S1UR is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC-biased lines like 3.3 V power rails or single-ended data lines referenced to ground. For AC or floating signals requiring symmetrical clamping, a bidirectional variant such as PTVS3V3S1UTR must be used instead.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance?
For best thermal resistance, Nexperia recommends a 1 cm² tin-plated copper pad connected to the cathode (Pin 1) on FR4 PCB. This reduces Rth(j-a) from 220 K/W to 130 K/W, improving surge endurance and long-term reliability under repeated transient events.
Does the AEC-Q101 qualification apply to PTVS3V3S1UR in current production?
Yes. Per Revision v.4 (December 2025) of the datasheet, PTVS3V3S1UR is explicitly listed among the 33 types retained with AEC-Q101 qualification-confirmed in Table 9 revision history and Section 11 test information.
Can PTVS3V3S1UR replace older P6SMB3.3A in existing designs?
Not directly. While both protect 3.3 V rails, P6SMB3.3A uses DO-214AA (SMB) package (4.6 × 3.9 × 2.3 mm) and has higher VCL (10.6 V). PTVS3V3S1UR's smaller size and lower clamping improve performance but require PCB footprint redesign and layout verification for thermal and EMI integrity.
