Product details
Overview
PTVS43VS1UTR,115 from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature transient overvoltage protection in power rails. It features VRWM = 43 V, VBR(min) = 47.8 V at 1 mA, VCL = 69.4 V at IPPM = 5.8 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C - enabling robust surge suppression in industrial power supplies and automotive under-hood modules.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS43VS1UTR,115 datasheet, PTVS43VS1UTR,115 pinout, PTVS43VS1UTR,115 application, or PTVS43VS1UTR,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC VDD tolerance, thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W for solder-point cooling, peak pulse current derating above 25 °C, and cathode-anode polarity alignment in series-connected protection paths.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses an avalanche breakdown mechanism to clamp transients above its reverse standoff voltage (VRWM = 43 V). Its VBR range (47.8–52.8 V) ensures reliable turn-on before downstream component damage, while low IRM ≤ 0.001 µA minimizes standby leakage in battery-backed systems.
Rated for IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform, it delivers 400 W peak pulse power with junction temperature derating down to ~60% at 150 °C (per Fig. 2). The SOD123W package's 1 mm height and 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) support thermal management in space-constrained, high-ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 43 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets minimum system rail margin. |
| VBR (min) | 47.8 V at 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold; defines lower bound of clamping onset. |
| VCL | 69.4 V at IPPM = 5.8 A (10/1000 µs) - peak voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge. |
| PPPM | 400 W - maximum transient energy absorption capability per IEC 61643-321; enables single-device protection against 1 kV/500 A surges. |
| Tj max | 185 °C - extended junction temperature rating allows operation in engine control units, motor drives, and industrial inverters without derating. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; enables direct PCB copper pour cooling for sustained surge handling. |
| IRM | ≤ 0.001 µA at VRWM - ultra-low reverse leakage preserves battery life in always-on systems and avoids false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
The PTVS43VS1UTR,115 is housed in a SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm, with a low-profile 1 mm height optimized for automated assembly and thermal conduction via cathode pad.
| 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 or low-impedance return path; completes avalanche conduction loop during transient events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature operation | Junction rated to 185 °C - eliminates need for external heatsinking in under-hood or enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| Low-profile SMD package | SOD123W footprint (2.6 × 1.7 mm) with 1 mm height - fits dense PCB layouts and enables reflow-compatible assembly without tombstoning. |
| Ultra-low leakage | IRM ≤ 0.001 µA at VRWM - prevents parasitic discharge in backup power circuits and meets stringent ISO 16750-2 quiescent current requirements. |
| Controlled clamping ratio | VCL/VBR ≈ 1.45 - tight voltage margin between breakdown and clamping ensures effective protection without overdesigning downstream TVS staging. |
| ESD robustness | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2), >8 kV HBM - provides secondary ESD immunity without requiring additional discrete ESD suppressors. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) |

|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC input rail in programmable logic controllers exposed to load dump and inductive switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed upstream of DC-DC converter input to clamp surges before they reach primary-side MOSFETs and controller ICs. Use Value: With VCL = 69.4 V and 400 W rating, it safely absorbs 12 V load dump pulses (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without degradation, preserving converter reliability over 15+ year field life. |
Use Scenario: 12 V battery-supplied microcontroller power domain in engine bay modules subject to cranking dips and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cathode tied to MCU VDD rail, anode to chassis ground - clamps positive-going transients within 1 ns response time to prevent latch-up or reset corruption. Use Value: Tj = 185 °C rating ensures stable clamping performance at ambient temperatures up to 125 °C, eliminating thermal runaway risk during prolonged high-load operation. |
| Motor Drive Gate Driver Protection | Telecom DC Power Feeding Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Isolated gate driver supply rail in 3-phase inverter modules where IGBT switching induces fast dv/dt coupling into auxiliary power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across isolated 15 V gate supply output to suppress coupled transients before they disrupt level-shifting logic or bootstrap capacitor charging. Use Value: Low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour, sustaining repeated 10/1000 µs surges without junction overheating during motor stall conditions. |
Use Scenario: -48 V DC feeding interface in remote radio head (RRH) base stations, exposed to lightning-induced surges on long outdoor cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed at PoE-like DC input connector to limit common-mode surge energy entering power conversion stage. Use Value: VRWM = 43 V provides 5 V margin above nominal -48 V rail (absolute value), while VCL = 69.4 V stays below typical -75 V absolute maximum ratings of telecom rectifier ICs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ43A | Same VRWM (43 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W only at 25 °C; derates to ~220 W at 125 °C; Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W vs. 18 K/W. | Requires larger PCB copper area for thermal management; unsuitable for compact high-ambient designs. | Select when cost is prioritized over thermal performance and board space is unconstrained. |
| SMCJ43A | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, but SMC package (7.1 × 6.2 mm) - 4× larger footprint and 2.2 mm height; Tj max = 175 °C. | Over-specified for 400 W needs; incompatible with SOD123W layout; adds mechanical stress in vibration-prone environments. | Choose only if legacy SMC footprint must be retained or multi-kW surge immunity is required beyond spec. |
Compared with SMAJ43A and SMCJ43A, PTVS43VS1UTR,115 uniquely balances 400 W surge capacity, 185 °C junction rating, and ultra-compact SOD123W packaging - making it optimal for thermally dense, high-reliability applications where size, temperature, and consistent clamping performance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS43VS1UTR,115 under standard test conditions?
The clamping voltage VCL is 69.4 V at a peak pulse current IPPM of 5.8 A using the IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and represents the maximum voltage imposed on the protected circuit during a defined surge event - critical for verifying margin against downstream component absolute maximum ratings.
How does the device perform at elevated junction temperatures?
PTVS43VS1UTR,115 maintains full 400 W peak pulse power capability up to Tj = 125 °C, then derates linearly to ~240 W at 150 °C and ~120 W at 185 °C (per Fig. 2). Its VBR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.5 mV/K), ensuring predictable, stable clamping behavior across the full operating range without thermal runaway.
Can PTVS43VS1UTR,115 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No - it is strictly unidirectional. The device conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode voltage by ≥VBR. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or data lines with ± surges), two PTVS43VS1UTR,115 units must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as PTVS43VS1UTR,115's counterpart in the PTVS43VS1UTR-B series should be selected.
What is the significance of the "CW" marking code on the device body?
The "CW" marking indicates the PTVS43VS1UTR variant per Nexperia's standardized coding (Table 4). It uniquely identifies the 43 V reverse standoff voltage version within the PTVSxS1UTR series and confirms compliance with the SOD123W package outline and electrical specifications - essential for visual inspection and counterfeit detection during incoming quality checks.
