Product details
Overview
PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 400 W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SOD123W (CFP3) package, designed for high-temperature overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features 8.5 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 14.4 V clamping voltage (VCL) at 5 mA, 27.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and operates up to 185 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX datasheet, PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX pinout, PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX application, or PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance to solder point (18 K/W), and low leakage (0.01 µA at VRWM).
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a planar silicon junction structure optimized for stable breakdown behavior across −55 °C to +185 °C ambient range. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction only during negative transients relative to cathode, with precise 8.5 V VRWM tolerance (±5%) and 9.44–10.40 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA.
Thermal design is enabled by low Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to cathode solder point and robust 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating. The device sustains 400 W peak pulse power per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs waveform) and maintains clamping voltage stability with <6.5 mV/K temperature coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 8.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC bias margin in 12 V automotive systems. |
| VCL @ IPPM | 14.4 V - Clamping voltage at 27.8 A peak pulse current; limits downstream IC stress during ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a events. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling per IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform; supports high-energy load dump suppression. |
| IRM | 0.01 µA - Reverse leakage at VRWM and 25 °C; ensures minimal quiescent current drain in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Tj max | 185 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables placement near hot engine control units without derating. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; allows direct PCB copper pour thermal coupling for sustained surge duty. |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2); protects CAN/LIN bus interfaces against human-body and system-level ESD events. |
Pinout & Package
SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body height, flat lead profile, cathode marked with bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery rail); absorbs positive transients when referenced to ground. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to system ground; completes conduction path during overvoltage clamp event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Stress-tested per automotive discrete semiconductor standard; validated for under-hood deployment in ECUs and ADAS sensors. |
| High-temp stability | Full 400 W PPPM maintained up to 150 °C junction; derates only to ~280 W at 185 °C (per Fig. 2). |
| Low-profile mounting | 1.0 mm max height enables use in space-constrained modules like junction boxes and battery management systems. |
| Low IRM | 0.01 µA leakage at VRWM minimizes standby power loss in always-on telematics and gateway modules. |
| Robust ESD immunity | 30 kV contact / 30 kV air discharge rating meets ISO 10605 requirements for automotive electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.5A-Q | Same VRWM (8.5 V) but lower PPPM (400 W vs. SMAJ series' 400 W); higher VCL (15.0 V) and larger SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm). | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile layouts; requires more PCB area and has higher Rth(j-a) (~50 K/W). | Choose if legacy SMA footprint compatibility is required and height constraint >1.0 mm is acceptable. |
| TPSMA6L8.5A | Higher VRWM tolerance (±10%), lower IRM (0.5 µA), but lower PPPM (600 W only at 25 °C; drops to ~220 W at 125 °C). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not rated for 185 °C operation or automotive under-hood use. | Select only for non-automotive industrial applications where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with SMAJ8.5A-Q and TPSMA6L8.5A, PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX delivers superior thermal robustness (185 °C Tj), tighter VCL (14.4 V), and smaller footprint-making it optimal for next-gen automotive modules where space, temperature, and qualification are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VCL) is 14.4 V at 27.8 A peak pulse current (IPPM), measured per IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events.
Is PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No. PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured to clamp only positive transients on the cathode side relative to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), a symmetric dual-diode array or dedicated bidirectional TVS such as PTVS8V5S2UTR-QX would be required.
How does the 185 °C junction rating impact PCB layout decisions?
The 185 °C Tj rating permits placement near heat sources (e.g., power MOSFETs or DC-DC inductors) without external heatsinking. Layout should maximize copper area on the cathode pad (≥1 cm² tin-plated FR4) to leverage the 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) and maintain safe junction temperatures during repeated surges.
Does PTVS8V5S1UTR-QX require derating of peak pulse power at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes. While rated for 400 W at 25 °C, peak pulse power decreases with rising junction temperature-down to approximately 280 W at 185 °C (per Fig. 2). System-level thermal modeling must account for both ambient temperature and self-heating during surge events to ensure reliable clamping performance.
