Product details
Overview
PTVS45VS1UTR-QX 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 = 45 V, VBR(min) = 50.0 V, VCL(max) = 72.7 V at IPPM = 5.5 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS45VS1UTR-QX datasheet, PTVS45VS1UTR-QX pinout, PTVS45VS1UTR-QX application, or PTVS45VS1UTR-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, clamping behavior under surge, and automotive-grade mounting guidance - all critical for robust power rail protection design.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates in reverse-biased mode with cathode-anode polarity, triggering avalanche breakdown above its 45 V standoff voltage to clamp transients. Its 72.7 V clamping voltage at 5.5 A ensures safe voltage limiting for 48 V automotive systems during ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a events.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs), it maintains stable performance across −55 °C to +185 °C ambient, supported by low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 45 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines system operating margin for 48 V nominal rails. |
| VBR (min) | 50.0 V - Minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA; guarantees reliable turn-on above normal operating voltage. |
| VCL (max) | 72.7 V - Maximum clamped voltage at 5.5 A peak current; determines downstream IC survivability during surge. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per 10/1000 µs waveform; enables protection against high-energy load dump transients. |
| IRM | 0.001 µA - Reverse leakage at VRWM; ensures negligible standby current in battery-sensitive automotive modules. |
| Tj max | 185 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports placement near power converters or engine control units without derating. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance; enables effective heat transfer through cathode pad in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body height, flat lead profile optimized for automated assembly and thermal relief on PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., 48 V rail); marking bar identifies this terminal; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; completes avalanche path; requires low-inductance grounding for fast response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test standard; eliminates need for requalification in Tier 1 designs. |
| 185 °C junction rating | Enables direct placement on high-temperature PCB zones (e.g., near DC-DC converters or motor drivers) without thermal derating. |
| 1 mm profile | Reduces board space and improves airflow in stacked or confined enclosures; compatible with standard SOD123W footprints. |
| 30 kV ESD rating | Withstands contact/air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2; protects against handling and system-level ESD events pre-deployment. |
| Low IRM (0.001 µA) | Minimizes quiescent current drain in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., CAN gateways, body controllers), preserving battery life. |
Applications
| 48 V Mild Hybrid Power Rail Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ45A-Q | Lower PPPM (400 W same), but VRWM = 45 V, VCL = 73.0 V at 5.5 A; Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W vs. 18 K/W (j-sp) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; rated only to 150 °C junction; lacks automotive traceability documentation | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial 48 V rails where thermal management allows higher Rth(j-a) and qualification isn't required. |
| TPSMD45CA | Bidirectional configuration; VRWM = 45 V, VCL = 73.0 V at 5.5 A; same 400 W rating; Tj max = 175 °C | Clamps both polarities - unnecessary overhead for unidirectional 48 V systems; adds cost and layout complexity | Only suitable if bidirectional protection is explicitly needed (e.g., shared signal/power lines subject to reverse polarity faults). |
Compared with SMAJ45A-Q and TPSMD45CA, PTVS45VS1UTR-QX offers superior thermal performance via low Rth(j-sp), guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and 185 °C operation - making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive 48 V power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS45VS1UTR-QX at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 72.7 V at IPPM = 5.5 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring compatibility with 65 V-rated downstream components.
Is PTVS45VS1UTR-QX suitable for 48 V mild hybrid vehicle applications?
Yes - it is AEC-Q101 qualified, rated for Tj up to 185 °C, and specified with VRWM = 45 V and VCL = 72.7 V, aligning precisely with ISO 16750-2 load dump (100 V/100 ms) and pulse 5a requirements for 48 V systems. Its SOD123W footprint supports dense power module layouts.
How does the thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) benefit PCB layout?
Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W indicates efficient heat conduction from junction to solder point - primarily through the cathode pad. This allows designers to use localized copper pour under the cathode to dissipate surge energy without requiring large thermal vias or external heatsinks, simplifying layout in constrained automotive ECUs.
What marking code identifies PTVS45VS1UTR-QX on the device body?
The marking code is "CX", printed adjacent to the cathode bar on the SOD123W package. This matches Table 4 in the Nexperia datasheet and enables rapid visual verification during incoming inspection or rework without requiring magnification or electrical test.
