Product details
Overview
PTVS51VS1UR-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection on DC power rails. It features 51 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 62.7 V maximum breakdown voltage (VBR), 82.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 0.001 µA reverse leakage at VRWM - deployed in engine control units to clamp load-dump transients.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS51VS1UR-QX datasheet, PTVS51VS1UR-QX pinout, PTVS51VS1UR-QX application, or PTVS51VS1UR-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VCL = 82.4 V), AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1 mm height, and compatibility with automated SMT reflow processes per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device in series with the protected line, conducting only during overvoltage events exceeding its breakdown threshold. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers precise VBR tolerance (±5% typical), fast response time (<1 ns), and stable performance across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
The device complies with IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform) and achieves 30 kV ESD immunity (IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge). Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 18 K/W, enabling reliable operation under high-energy surge conditions without derating in standard FR4 PCB layouts.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 12 V supply input of engine control modules against ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients (up to 120 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between battery rail and local DC/DC input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤82.4 V, preventing damage to downstream PMICs and microcontrollers rated for 65 V absolute max. | Use Scenario: Shields 5 V/3.3 V display backlight and interface rails from coupled noise in infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS on regulated outputs after main DC/DC converter. Use Value: Suppresses fast-rising ESD events (≥30 kV) without affecting signal integrity on LVDS or FPD-Link interfaces. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) CAN Interface Protection | ADAS Camera Module Power Input |
Use Scenario: Guards CAN transceiver VCC supply against battery line disturbances during ignition switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on transceiver's power pin, upstream of local LDO. Use Value: Maintains <1 µA leakage to avoid LDO dropout while clamping surges within 1 ns response window. | Use Scenario: Secures 12 V input of rear-view camera modules exposed to harsh under-hood environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense against load dump and jump-start transients before buck converter. Use Value: Withstands 50 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM) and maintains 150 °C Tj rating for extended thermal reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ51A-Q | Same VRWM (51 V), but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ51A-Q's 400 W), higher VCL (85.5 V), larger SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; intended for industrial, not automotive use | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and board space allows larger footprint |
| TPSMD51A | Higher VRWM tolerance (±5% vs. ±5%), identical VCL (82.4 V), same SOD123W package, but only qualified to JESD22-A114 (not AEC-Q101) | Lacks automotive stress-test validation; limited to consumer/industrial designs | Choose if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
Compared with SMAJ51A-Q and TPSMD51A, PTVS51VS1UR-QX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1 mm profile, and verified 82.4 V clamping at 82.4 A - making it the only option validated for safety-critical 12 V rail protection in production vehicles.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS51VS1UR-QX at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 82.4 V at 82.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value ensures downstream 65 V-rated ICs remain within safe operating limits during load-dump events.
Does PTVS51VS1UR-QX support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD123W (CFP3) package is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak temperature ≤260 °C, 25 s dwell). Nexperia provides validated footprint data (solder land: 1.2 mm × 2.1 mm, stencil thickness 0.1 mm) for optimal wetting and void control.
How does the 0.001 µA reverse leakage impact system-level power budget?
At 51 V VRWM and 0.001 µA IRM, the device draws just 51 nW of standby power - negligible in always-on automotive modules such as telematics or gateway ECUs where total quiescent current must stay below 100 µA.
Is PTVS51VS1UR-QX suitable for protecting CAN FD physical layer circuits?
No - this unidirectional TVS is intended for DC power rail protection, not data line protection. CAN FD requires bidirectional TVS devices with symmetric clamping (e.g., PUSB3FR4) to preserve signal integrity on differential pairs without introducing DC bias.
