Product details
Overview
1.5SMC110 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 1500W peak pulse power, 99–121V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 158V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 9.9A peak impulse current. It protects DC power rails and signal lines in telecom infrastructure and industrial control systems against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and load-switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC110 datasheet, 1.5SMC110 pinout, 1.5SMC110 application, or 1.5SMC110 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance data (RθJA = 50°C/W), clamping performance under 10/1000μs waveform, ISO 7637-2 compliance, and real-world design context for surge immunity validation.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates with a glass-passivated junction and exhibits fast response time (<1.0 ps), low leakage (<1 μA at 89.2 V), and a temperature coefficient of VBR of 0.107%/°C. Its clamping behavior is defined per ANSI/IEEE C62.35, with non-repetitive 10/1000μs surge capability derated above 25°C ambient per Fig.2.
The device is optimized for single-die, high-energy transient suppression in DC-biased circuits. It supports steady-state power dissipation of 6.5 W at 25°C, with junction temperature range from –55°C to +150°C and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling standard reflow assembly without baking.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Protection | Telecom Power Supply Input |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V DC digital input modules in programmable logic controllers from inductive kickback and field-wiring transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between input terminal and ground, clamping surges before they reach optocoupler or MCU GPIO. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤158 V during 1 kV/50 Ω surge events, preserving isolation barrier integrity and preventing false triggering. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding primary-side DC bus (e.g., 48 V telecom rectifier output) against lightning-induced surges entering via distribution cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor mounted directly at connector entry point, shunting energy before upstream DC-DC converters. Use Value: Absorbs 1500 W peak energy within 1000 μs, maintaining bus stability and avoiding brownout or shutdown of downstream loads. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Factory Automation Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus or switched 12 V supply lines in body electronics exposed to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 2b (load dump) and Pulse 5b (alternator surge). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS on each protected line, referenced to chassis ground, with VWM > 13.5 V nominal system voltage. Use Value: Withstands 89.2 V working stand-off and clamps to 158 V, ensuring compatibility with 12 V automotive architecture while surviving 100 V transients. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog 4–20 mA current loop inputs in industrial sensors from ESD and cable-coupled noise in noisy factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across loop terminals (line-to-line or line-to-ground), suppressing common-mode and differential transients. Use Value: Sub-1 μA leakage at 89.2 V prevents interference with precision current measurement, while 158 V clamping protects op-amp front-ends. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package; lower PPK = 600 W; VC = 177 V @ 3.4 A | Lower energy handling limits use to lower-tier surge classes (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2) | Select SMBJ110A only if system-level testing confirms 600 W suffices and board space favors smaller SMB footprint. |
| 1.5KE110A (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package; same 1500 W rating; VC = 177 V @ 8.5 A; higher RθJA (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for fully SMT designs or high-density layouts | Choose 1.5KE110A only when legacy through-hole compatibility or higher mechanical robustness is prioritized over automated placement. |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1.5KE110A, the 1.5SMC110 offers superior energy density in surface-mount form, tighter clamping (158 V vs. ≥177 V), and lower thermal resistance - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability DC power rail protection where layout and thermal management are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC110 under standard test conditions?
The 1.5SMC110 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 158 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 9.9 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 1.5SMC110 suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1.5SMC110 is a unidirectional TVS diode. For bidirectional operation, select the 1.5SMC110A variant (marked FZJ), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. The 1.5SMC110 must be installed with cathode toward the line under protection and anode to ground; reverse polarity connection will cause forward conduction and failure under normal bias.
What is the working stand-off voltage (VWM) specification for the 1.5SMC110?
The 1.5SMC110 has a working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 89.2 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state up to this DC or RMS voltage level. Leakage current stays below 1 μA at this voltage, making it suitable for protecting 72–80 V DC systems such as 48 V telecom buses with margin, while avoiding false triggering during normal operation.
Does the 1.5SMC110 meet automotive transient standards?
Yes, the 1.5SMC110 meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b requirements - covering key automotive transients including supply disconnection, load dump simulation, and capacitive coupling noise. Its 1500 W rating and 158 V clamping support robust protection in body control modules and infotainment power rails, though full AEC-Q200 qualification requires verification of the specific reel lot.
What is the thermal resistance profile of the 1.5SMC110, and how does it impact PCB layout?
The 1.5SMC110 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W and junction-to-case (RθJC) of 15°C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ 150°C under 1500 W pulses, PCB layout must include ≥100 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to both terminals, with thermal vias to inner/ground planes. Insufficient copper area risks localized overheating and parametric shift after repeated surges.
