Product details
Overview
1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT 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 1.0 mA), clamps transients to ≤152 V at 9.9 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and delivers 1500 W peak pulse power. It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces against lightning-induced surges and inductive switching transients in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include standoff voltage (VWM = 94.0 V), clamping performance (VC = 152 V @ IPPM), thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), RoHS-compliant SMC (DO-214AB) packaging, and AEC-Q101 qualification eligibility via HE3 suffix variants.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates by avalanche breakdown to shunt transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables rapid clamping response under 10/1000 μs waveforms.
The device is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power with 0.01% duty cycle, derated linearly above TA = 25 °C per Fig. 2, and supports operating junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its SMC (DO-214AB) package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow requirements (260 °C peak).
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed at adapter output connector to absorb fast-rising transients before reaching downstream devices. Use Value: Fast response time and low VC ensure downstream USB controllers and charging ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VBR range, SMB (DO-214AA) package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Best suited for space-constrained, lower-energy applications where 1500 W headroom is unnecessary | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is defined by IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (0.5 kV/1.0 kV) |
| 1.5KE110A-T | Through-hole TO-204AE (DO-15) package, identical electrical specs but incompatible with SMT assembly | Used in legacy designs or prototyping where manual soldering or socketing is acceptable | Choose only if SMT process is unavailable or if mechanical robustness under vibration justifies through-hole mounting |
Compared with 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT, SMBJ110A-E3/52T trades peak power and thermal performance for compactness, while 1.5KE110A-T retains full electrical equivalence but requires PCB redesign for through-hole assembly-neither is pin-compatible, and both demand layout validation for thermal and surge path integrity.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT?
The 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT has a maximum reverse standoff voltage (VWM) of 94.0 V at 25 °C. This value ensures the device remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions while allowing up to 1.0 μA leakage current. It is selected to provide sufficient margin below the 110 V breakdown threshold and aligns with 96 V nominal industrial or 12 V automotive load-dump protection schemes where sustained overvoltage must be tolerated without conduction.
Is the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT carries the "E3" suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and meets Vishay's commercial-grade material specifications. It is not halogen-free; for halogen-free compliance, the "M3" suffix variant (e.g., 1.5SMC110A-M3/9AT) must be specified. Both E3 and M3 versions satisfy JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Does the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT have AEC-Q101 qualification?
The base 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Vishay offers AEC-Q101-qualified versions under the "HE3" suffix (e.g., 1.5SMC110AHE3_A/I). These variants undergo additional stress testing including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per AEC-Q101 Rev D and are marked with "HE3" and revision code (e.g., "A"). The E3 version remains suitable for commercial and industrial applications where automotive qualification is not mandated.
What is the clamping voltage (VC) of the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT under surge conditions?
The 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT clamps to a maximum of 152 V when subjected to its rated 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This clamping voltage is measured at the device terminals with recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal, ensuring realistic thermal and electrical boundary conditions. It defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events.
Can the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT be used in bidirectional configurations?
No-the 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the "CA" suffix (e.g., 1.5SMC110CA-E3/9AT), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using the unidirectional 1.5SMC110A-E3/9AT in reverse-biased configurations risks permanent damage due to forward conduction during negative transients exceeding its 3.5 V forward voltage rating at 100 A.
