Product details
Overview
PTVS40VS1UTR-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature transient overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features VRWM = 40 V, VBR(min) = 44.4 V, VCL = 64.5 V at IPPM = 6.2 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS40VS1UTR-Q datasheet, PTVS40VS1UTR-Q pinout, PTVS40VS1UTR-Q application, or PTVS40VS1UTR-Q equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/ISO 7637-2 surge suppression in engine control units, battery management systems, and 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems requiring AEC-Q101 qualification and low-profile mounting.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode clamps transients using avalanche breakdown, with a typical breakdown voltage of 46.8 V and clamping voltage of 64.5 V under 10/1000 µs waveform. Its thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) is 18 K/W, enabling reliable operation at junction temperatures up to 185 °C.
The device exhibits ultra-low reverse leakage (IRM ≤ 0.1 µA at VRWM) and a positive temperature coefficient (SZ = +0.5 mV/K), ensuring stable clamping performance across automotive ambient ranges (−55 °C to +185 °C) and maintaining predictable VBR drift under thermal stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (IEC 61643-321, 10/1000 µs); sustains repeated load dump surges without degradation |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | VRWM = 40 V; blocks normal 12 V/24 V rail voltages while remaining fully off |
| Breakdown Voltage | VBR = 44.4–49.1 V (min–max at IR = 1 mA); triggers clamping before downstream IC damage thresholds |
| Clamping Voltage | VCL = 64.5 V at IPPM = 6.2 A; limits transient voltage seen by protected circuitry |
| Reverse Leakage | IRM ≤ 0.1 µA at VRWM; negligible standby current impact on low-power automotive modules |
| Junction Temperature | Tj(max) = 185 °C; supports under-hood placement near engines or power converters |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air); protects against human-body and system-level electrostatic events |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123W (CFP3), surface-mount plastic package; dimensions 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm; marking bar indicates cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); absorbs positive transients toward ground |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to system ground; completes clamping path during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test standard; eliminates qualification overhead for Tier 1 designs |
| 1 mm profile height | Enables PCB space optimization in dense ECUs and ADAS modules where Z-axis clearance is constrained |
| 185 °C junction rating | Supports direct placement near high-power MOSFETs or DC-DC converters without derating |
| Low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W | Minimizes thermal impedance to solder point, improving pulse energy dissipation reliability |
| 30 kV ESD immunity | Meets stringent OEM requirements for infotainment and body control module interfaces |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Automotive Battery Management System (BMS) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ40A-Q | Lower PPPM = 400 W but only rated to Tj = 150 °C; VRWM = 40 V, VCL = 64.5 V (same), but Rth(j-a) = 95 K/W vs. 70 K/W | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; limited to under-dash non-critical modules | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs under-hood thermal margin and automotive qualification needs |
| TPSMD40A | Same VRWM/VCL, but higher IPPM = 6.5 A; Tj(max) = 175 °C; AEC-Q101 qualified; Rth(j-sp) = 20 K/W | Compatible footprint but slightly larger body (2.8 mm × 1.8 mm); requires layout adjustment | Choose for enhanced pulse current margin in high-noise EPS or starter-generator circuits |
Compared with SMAJ40A-Q and TPSMD40A, PTVS40VS1UTR-Q delivers superior thermal resilience (185 °C vs. 150/175 °C), lower profile (1.0 mm vs. 2.2/2.3 mm), and tighter thermal coupling to PCB (Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-temperature automotive nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS40VS1UTR-Q under standard test conditions?
The clamping voltage VCL is 64.5 V at a peak pulse current IPPM of 6.2 A, measured per IEC 61643-321 using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−55 °C to +185 °C) and ensures protected ICs remain below their absolute maximum ratings during surge events.
Does PTVS40VS1UTR-Q require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-its rated peak pulse power decreases linearly above 25 °C, with relative PPPM dropping to ~70% at 125 °C and ~50% at 150 °C (per Fig. 2). However, its 185 °C junction limit and low Rth(j-sp) allow continued operation in high-ambient zones when PCB copper area and thermal vias are optimized per Nexperia's CFP3 footprint guidelines.
Can PTVS40VS1UTR-Q be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-it is strictly unidirectional. The internal structure connects anode to ground and cathode to the protected line. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines or AC inputs), two devices must be back-to-back or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like PTVS40VS1UTR-Q's counterpart PTVS40VS1UTR-Q-BI must be selected, which is not part of this series.
How does the marking code 'CV' correspond to PTVS40VS1UTR-Q on the device body?
The marking code 'CV' is laser-etched on the top surface of the SOD123W package and uniquely identifies PTVS40VS1UTR-Q per Nexperia's Table 4. The bar adjacent to the marking denotes the cathode (Pin 1), enabling rapid visual polarity verification during manual assembly or AOI inspection.
