Product details
Overview
PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q 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 8.0 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 9.36 V typical breakdown voltage (VBR), 13.6 V clamping voltage (VCL) at 5 mA, and junction temperature rating up to 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q datasheet, PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q pinout, PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q application, or PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/ISO 7637-2 surge suppression in engine control units, battery management systems, and 12 V rail protection where thermal stability and AEC-Q101 qualification are mandatory.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-anode polarity, activated when reverse voltage exceeds VRWM = 8.0 V. Its I-V characteristic follows standard avalanche breakdown behavior, with low leakage (IRM = 0.03 µA at VRWM) and stable clamping performance across −55 °C to +185 °C ambient range.
The device complies with IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform) and achieves 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM) at 25 °C, derating to ~220 W at 150 °C per typical thermal curve. Its 1 mm profile and SOD123W footprint support dense PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A-Q | Same VRWM (8.0 V), lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ series' 400 W), but higher VCL (13.6 V vs. 14.4 V) and larger SMA package (2.8 mm height). | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile modules due to 2.8 mm height; requires larger PCB area and higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 100 K/W vs. 70 K/W). | Select PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q when board height ≤1.0 mm is required or AEC-Q101 qualification must be documented per part number. |
| TPSMA6L8.0A | Identical VRWM and VCL, but rated for 600 W PPPM and uses DO-214AC package; not AEC-Q101 qualified in standard grade. | Higher power handling suits industrial motor drives, but lacks automotive qualification documentation and has higher IRM (1 µA vs. 0.03 µA). | Choose PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q for automotive production programs requiring certified AEC-Q101 compliance and minimal leakage in always-on domains. |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A-Q and TPSMA6L8.0A, PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q delivers identical electrical protection at 8 V with superior thermal performance (185 °C Tj), lower leakage, and guaranteed automotive qualification-making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q during a 400 W transient event?
The clamping voltage VCL is 13.6 V at 5 mA test current, and rises to approximately 29.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM = 29.4 A) under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet and represents worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during full-power surge events.
Does PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity. It suppresses only positive transients on the cathode side relative to anode (ground). For bidirectional protection, two devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional part like PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q's counterpart in the bidirectional PTVS8V0S1UTR-QB series would be required.
How does the 185 °C junction temperature rating impact PCB layout decisions?
The 185 °C Tj rating allows direct placement near heat-generating components (e.g., MOSFETs, inductors) without thermal derating, but effective heat dissipation still requires adequate copper pour on the cathode pad (≥1 cm² per Table 6) and adherence to the specified SOD123W reflow footprint. Thermal resistance drops from 220 K/W (standard FR4) to 18 K/W when soldered to a thermal pad, enabling sustained operation in high-ambient zones.
Is the marking code 'C8' on the device body sufficient for traceability and authenticity verification?
Yes, 'C8' is the official marking code for PTVS8V0S1UTR-Q per Table 4 of the datasheet, laser-etched on the cathode-side surface. Combined with the Nexperia logo and date code, it enables full traceability to wafer lot and assembly batch. Authentic units exhibit consistent marking depth, contrast, and alignment with the cathode bar per Figure 5 package outline.
