Product details
Overview
PTVS54VS1UR-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for automotive-grade overvoltage protection at 54 V reverse standoff voltage. It delivers 87.1 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), clamps transients to ≤66.3 V, and exhibits ≤0.1 μA reverse leakage at VRWM, enabling robust ESD and surge suppression in power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS54VS1UR-QX datasheet, PTVS54VS1UR-QX pinout, PTVS54VS1UR-QX application, or PTVS54VS1UR-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1 mm profile for space-constrained PCB layouts, low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W), and compatibility with 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive subsystems requiring IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV contact discharge immunity.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a clamping device: under normal bias it blocks current below VRWM = 54 V, but triggers avalanche conduction when transient voltage exceeds VBR = 60.0–66.3 V (typ/max), limiting downstream voltage to VCL ≤ 66.3 V at IPPM = 87.1 A. Its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 18 K/W enables effective heat dissipation during repetitive surges.
The device complies with IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 μs waveform) and AEC-Q101 stress testing, supporting operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient. Its cathode-marked SOD123W footprint ensures unambiguous polarity alignment in high-reliability automotive power management circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 54 V reverse standoff voltage - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR | 60.0–66.3 V breakdown range at IR = 1 mA - sets precise avalanche turn-on threshold for predictable clamping onset |
| VCL @ IPPM | ≤66.3 V clamping voltage at 87.1 A - limits protected circuit voltage during worst-case 400 W transient |
| PPPM | 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) - sustains high-energy surges without failure per IEC 61643-321 |
| IRM | ≤0.1 μA reverse leakage at VRWM - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical systems |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - provides full-system ESD immunity without external shielding |
| Tj max | +150 °C maximum junction temperature - supports under-hood automotive deployment with no derating up to 125 °C ambient |
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 performance on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Marked side (bar) - connects to protected line; avalanche conduction occurs from anode to cathode during overvoltage |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Ground reference terminal - must be routed to low-impedance chassis or power ground for effective clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per discrete semiconductor standard |
| 1 mm package height | Enables ultra-thin module designs (e.g., ADAS ECUs, infotainment head units) without compromising surge rating |
| Low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W | Direct thermal path from junction to solder point allows >90% of 400 W pulse energy to dissipate into PCB copper |
| 0.1 μA IRM at VRWM | Reduces quiescent current drain in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., CAN FD wake-up lines, LIN bus) |
| ±30 kV ESD immunity | Eliminates need for secondary ESD protection stages in front-end power inputs and sensor interfaces |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Power Input |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ54A-Q | 300 W PPPM, SMA package (2.4 mm height), VCL = 87.1 V at 34.4 A | Lower power rating and higher clamping voltage reduce protection margin in 400 W surge environments | Select only if board height >2.4 mm is acceptable and peak surge energy is confirmed ≤300 W |
| TPSMD54A | 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm DO-214AB package, 500 W PPPM, VCL = 87.1 V at 57.4 A | Larger footprint increases PCB area cost but improves thermal margin for repetitive surges | Prefer for industrial power supplies with frequent surge exposure; avoid in space-constrained automotive modules |
Compared with SMAJ54A-Q and TPSMD54A, PTVS54VS1UR-QX uniquely balances 400 W surge capability, 1 mm height, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 0.1 μA leakage-making it optimal for next-gen automotive ECUs where volume, reliability, and low standby loss are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS54VS1UR-QX at its rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 66.3 V at the rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 87.1 A, measured under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value ensures protected downstream components see no more than 66.3 V during worst-case surge events, aligning with 60 V-rated ICs' absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SOD123W package enhance thermal performance compared to standard SOD-123?
The SOD123W (CFP3) package features an extended cathode pad and optimized internal thermal path, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W-nearly 4× better than standard SOD-123's typical ~70 K/W. This allows >90% of 400 W pulse energy to transfer directly to the PCB copper, preventing junction overheating during repeated transients.
Is PTVS54VS1UR-QX suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No-it is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended only for DC circuits with defined polarity. Its cathode (pin 1) must connect to the protected line and anode (pin 2) to ground. For AC or reversible polarity applications, a bidirectional variant like PTVS54VS1UR-S (not offered in Q-series) or paired unidirectional devices would be required.
What AEC-Q101 test conditions validate PTVS54VS1UR-QX for automotive use?
It passes AEC-Q101 stress tests including high-temperature operating life (1000 h at 150 °C), temperature cycling (−55 °C to +150 °C, 1000 cycles), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST, 96 h at 130 °C/85% RH). These confirm reliability in under-hood environments with thermal shock and humidity exposure.
