Product details
Overview
PTVS43VS1UTR-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features 43 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 69.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 51.6 V clamping voltage (VCL) at 5 mA, and operates up to 185 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS43VS1UTR-Q datasheet, PTVS43VS1UTR-Q pinout, PTVS43VS1UTR-Q application, or PTVS43VS1UTR-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance to solder point (18 K/W), and compatibility with high-reliability automotive power supply protection layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuitry, triggering conduction when transient voltage exceeds its 43 V VRWM threshold. Its breakdown voltage (VBR) is specified at 47.8–52.8 V (min–max) with 5 mA test current, ensuring predictable turn-on behavior across temperature.
It complies with IEC 61643-321 for 10/1000 μs waveform testing and delivers stable 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) up to 125 °C, derating to ~58% at 185 °C per Figure 2. The cathode-anode polarity is marked by a bar on the SOD123W body, enabling correct PCB orientation during automated placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 43 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 36–40 V nominal automotive systems. |
| VCL @ IPPM | 51.6 V - Clamping voltage at 69.4 A peak pulse current; limits downstream voltage stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 μs); supports robust protection against load dump and inductive switching events. |
| Tj max | 185 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables operation in under-hood environments without derating penalties typical of standard TVS devices. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to solder point; ensures efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for sustained surge duty cycles. |
| IRM | 0.001 μA @ VRWM - Ultra-low reverse leakage; minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules like body control units. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Certified for automotive discrete semiconductors; includes HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD (30 kV contact/air) stress testing. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body height, flat leads, cathode-marked with molded bar. Optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts and reflow/wave soldering per Figures 6–7.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery rail); marking bar identifies this terminal; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference plane; low-inductance path essential for effective transient energy shunting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-temperature stability | Junction-rated to 185 °C with no parameter drift - eliminates need for thermal derating in engine compartment designs. |
| Low-profile SMD package | 1.0 mm max height - enables placement beneath connectors or in constrained spaces such as ADAS sensor modules. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Includes HTRB, TC, AC/DC life test, and ESD validation - reduces qualification burden for Tier 1 automotive suppliers. |
| Ultra-low leakage | 1 nA IRM at VRWM - preserves battery life in always-on domains (e.g., telematics, alarm systems) over 15-year vehicle lifetime. |
| Controlled clamping ratio | VCL/VRWM = 1.20 - tight 20% overvoltage margin ensures reliable IC-level protection without excessive voltage headroom. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Body Control Module (BCM) CAN Bus Line |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protection against load dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) on 12 V battery-fed ECU inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between battery rail and input filter capacitor. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤51.6 V during 400 W surges, preventing damage to LDOs and microcontrollers rated for 45 V absolute maximum. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after common-mode choke, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Withstands 30 kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2 while maintaining <1 nA leakage to avoid CAN bias current errors. |
| ADAS Camera Power Supply | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver |
|
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection on 5 V/3.3 V camera module supplies exposed to ignition noise and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local clamping device mounted adjacent to DC-DC converter output. Use Value: 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) enables rapid heat dissipation into 1 cm² copper pad, sustaining repeated 10/1000 μs pulses without thermal runaway. |
Use Scenario: Transient suppression on high-side MOSFET gate drive lines subject to inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed between gate and source to clamp Miller-induced spikes. Use Value: 43 V VRWM aligns with 40 V-rated gate drivers; 51.6 V VCL prevents unintended turn-on of 60 V Si MOSFETs during fault conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ43A-Q | 43 V VRWM, 300 W PPPM, SMA package (2.4 mm height), Tj max = 150 °C | Larger footprint and lower power rating; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select only for non-automotive industrial use where space and thermal budget allow larger package. |
| TPSMA6L43A | 43 V VRWM, 600 W PPPM, SMA package, Tj max = 175 °C, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher power but 2.4 mm height limits placement in ultra-thin modules; higher VCL (58.1 V) | Prefer when surge energy exceeds 400 W; accept trade-off of taller profile and +6.5 V clamping overhead. |
Compared with SMAJ43A-Q and TPSMA6L43A, PTVS43VS1UTR-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1 mm profile, and 400 W capability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-temperature automotive power nodes where both reliability and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of PTVS43VS1UTR-Q at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VCL) is 51.6 V measured at 69.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), per Table 8 of the datasheet. This value is guaranteed under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 μs waveform conditions and defines the maximum voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Does PTVS43VS1UTR-Q support reflow soldering, and what is the recommended footprint?
Yes, it supports lead-free reflow soldering using the CFP3 (SOD123W) footprint shown in Figure 6: 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm solder land, 0.1 mm stencil thickness, and 4.4 mm × 2.9 mm overall occupied area. The design accommodates standard JEDEC J-STD-020 profiles without thermal stress.
How does the 185 °C junction rating impact system-level thermal design?
The 185 °C Tj max allows direct placement near heat sources (e.g., motor drivers or DC-DC converters) without external heatsinking. With Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W, a 40 °C ambient rise above PCB results in only ~720 mW self-heating at 400 W surge - well within safe limits due to short pulse duration.
Is PTVS43VS1UTR-Q compatible with wave soldering processes?
Yes, it is qualified for wave soldering per Figure 7: uses dual 3.0 mm solder lands with 2.4 mm spacing, 8.3 mm total length, and solder resist-defined dummy tracks. The 1 mm profile prevents tombstoning, and the flat leads ensure consistent wetting across conveyor-based wave systems.
