Active production, automotive-qualified Zener TVS for 5V rails
The D5V0S1U2WS-7 is an active-production Zener TVS diode from Diodes Incorporated, rated for 1 kW peak pulse power (8/20 µs waveform) in a SOD-323 package. With a 5.5 V maximum reverse standoff voltage and a 6.2 V minimum breakdown voltage, it clamps transients to 16 V maximum at the rated 70 A peak pulse current — sized for protecting 5 V logic and sensor supply rails in automotive ECUs.
AEC-Q101 qualification and 125°C junction rating
The single unidirectional channel in the SOD-323 footprint (SC-76) suits point-of-use protection on dense automotive PCBs where board area is constrained. Capacitance measures 950 pF at 1 MHz — high enough to absorb fast ESD edges but worth checking against high-speed data lines (CAN FD, 100BASE-T1) where added capacitance may round signal edges.
Sourcing and compliance posture
No power line protection feature (the internal structure is a unidirectional Zener clamp, not a steering-diode array). The base product number is D5V0S1; the -7 suffix denotes the tape-and-reel packaging option.
