Product details
Overview
1.5SMC110A-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 110 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 105–116 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 94.0 V maximum stand-off voltage (VWM), and clamps transients to ≤152 V at 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 μs waveform - enabling protection of 12–48 V industrial control, automotive sensor interfaces, and DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T datasheet, 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T pinout, 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T application, or 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T equivalent, this device delivers verified 1500 W peak pulse power capability, low incremental surge resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness (via HE3/HM3 variants), supporting design-in for automotive-grade ESD and lightning surge immunity where unidirectional clamping and SMC (DO-214AB) footprint compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VWM (94.0 V), it avalanches near VBR (105–116 V) and limits transient energy by diverting surge current to ground. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while thermal resistance RθJA = 75 °C/W supports operation up to TJ = +150 °C on standard 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) immunity requirements when applied per recommended PCB layout. Its fast response time (<1.0 ns) and low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) minimize stress on downstream MOSFETs, ICs, and communication transceivers during repetitive 0.01% duty-cycle surges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V at IT = 1.0 mA - defines precise avalanche onset range for reliable triggering without premature conduction. |
| VWM | 94.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage; ensures no conduction during normal 12–48 V system operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤152 V at 9.9 A (10/1000 μs) - clamping voltage directly determines protected circuit's maximum transient stress level. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak pulse power rating enables handling of high-energy lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. |
| IPPM | 9.9 A - peak pulse current capacity defines maximum surge energy (≈1.5 J) the device can safely absorb per event. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - junction temperature limit allows use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 0.320" × 0.246" footprint and matte tin-plated leads for J-STD-002 solderability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic case meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability rating; cathode indicated by band on body; terminals are matte tin-plated for lead-free reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; grounded reference in unidirectional TVS configuration | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return path to enable effective clamping of positive transients on the protected line. |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; connected to protected line in unidirectional TVS | Placed in series with the input/power/signal line to be protected; avalanche conduction occurs when line voltage exceeds VWM relative to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV line-to-ground) in compact SMC package without external heat sinking. |

Use Value: Sub-1 ns response and 9.9 A IPPM capability ensure transient energy is diverted before reaching optocoupler input stages, preserving signal integrity and longevity. |
| DC-DC Converter Input Stage | Telecom Power Supply Surge Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Front-end overvoltage protection for isolated 48 V input DC-DC converters used in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping element on the high-side input rail, coordinated with upstream fuses and common-mode chokes. Use Value: 1500 W PPPM and 152 V VC allow safe absorption of 10/1000 μs surges up to 4 kV, maintaining converter uptime during grid disturbances. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side transient suppression on -48 V telecom distribution boards subject to lightning-induced surges on long-line feeds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS referenced to system ground, placed after DC-DC isolation to protect downstream PMICs and FPGAs. Use Value: Low leakage (<1.0 μA) prevents standby current drain; 110 V VBR provides margin above -48 V nominal while avoiding false triggering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A (Bourns) | Same VBR range (105–116 V), but SMB package (smaller footprint, lower PPPM = 600 W) | Limited to lower-energy transients (e.g., ESD/EFT); unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge | Select only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤1 kV; verify thermal performance with RθJA = 110 °C/W. |
| SMCJ110A (Littelfuse) | Identical SMC (DO-214AB) package, same VBR/VC, but rated for 1500 W with tighter VC tolerance (150 V max vs. 152 V) | Direct functional replacement with identical PCB layout; certified to AEC-Q101 in HM3 variant | Drop-in alternative if dual-sourcing is required; confirm tape-and-reel packaging (57T vs. 57R) matches production line feeders. |
Compared with 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T, SMBJ110A offers space savings at the cost of surge robustness, while SMCJ110A provides identical protection performance and mechanical fit - making it the preferred second-source for high-reliability 24–48 V systems requiring validated automotive qualification paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 9.9 A under the standardized 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the Vishay datasheet 88303 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case surge conditions. Designers must ensure downstream components have sufficient voltage margin above this clamping level.
Is the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T suitable for automotive applications?
The 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T itself is RoHS-compliant and commercial-grade; however, Vishay offers AEC-Q101 qualified versions under ordering codes like 1.5SMC110AHE3_A. While the -E3/57T variant is not AEC-Q101 certified, its construction - including glass-passivated junction and MSL Level 1 rating - supports automotive use in non-safety-critical subsystems when validated per customer requirements. For full qualification, specify the HE3 or HM3 suffix.
What is the reverse leakage current of the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T at its stand-off voltage?
At the maximum stand-off voltage (VWM) of 94.0 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C, the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 1.0 μA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on circuits and avoids false triggering in high-impedance sensing nodes, making it suitable for battery-backed and low-quiescent-current applications.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T affect its power dissipation capability?
The 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads. This means that at 25 °C ambient, the device can dissipate up to 6.5 W continuously (PD rating) before reaching its 150 °C maximum junction temperature. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet to maintain reliability.
Can the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T be used in bidirectional configurations?
No - the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. Bidirectional operation requires a part with "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5SMC110CA). Using the 1.5SMC110A-E3/57T in reverse-biased configurations will result in forward conduction (~1.0 V drop) rather than symmetrical clamping, compromising protection integrity on AC or floating signal lines.
