Product details
Overview
1.5SMC110CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 1500W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with breakdown voltage 105–116 V, clamping voltage 152 V at 10.3 A, and working stand-off voltage 94.0 V. It provides ESD and surge protection for automotive power lines and industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC110CAH datasheet, 1.5SMC110CAH pinout, 1.5SMC110CAH application, or 1.5SMC110CAH equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy transient immunity in ISO 7637-2-compliant 12 V/24 V systems where fast response (<1 ps), low leakage (<1 µA @ 94 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The 1.5SMC110CAH is a bipolar TVS diode designed for symmetrical clamping in both directions, enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or floating signal/power rails without polarity sensitivity. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage across temperature.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b waveforms and supports peak impulse currents up to 10.3 A (10/1000 µs) while maintaining clamping below 152 V. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 50 °C/W and RθJC = 15 °C/W, supporting operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V - Ensures reliable conduction onset above system nominal voltage (e.g., 94 V stand-off), minimizing false triggering during transients. |
| VWM | 94.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage; compatible with 24 V automotive supply rails with margin. |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V @ 10.3 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a surges. |
| PPK | 1500 W - Peak pulse power rating defines maximum transient energy absorption capability per single event. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on circuits. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. |
| Response time | <1.0 ps - Sub-picosecond switching ensures suppression before sensitive ICs experience overvoltage damage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AB (SMC), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with cathode band omitted (symmetrical terminals). Matte tin-plated leads, RoHS and halogen-free compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient current path | Both terminals function identically; no polarity marking required - simplifies PCB layout and eliminates orientation errors in automated assembly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CA | 600 W peak power, SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 75 °C/W), same VBR range (105–116 V). | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a in 24 V systems. | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy remains ≤600 W. |
| 1.5KE110CA | Through-hole DO-201 package, same 1500 W rating but slower response (>1 ps), higher leakage (≤5 µA @ 94 V). | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; requires manual or selective soldering; incompatible with high-speed automated SMT lines. | Select only for legacy through-hole designs or non-automotive applications where cost outweighs performance. |
Compared with SMBJ110CA and 1.5KE110CA, the 1.5SMC110CAH delivers superior surge handling in a surface-mount AEC-Q101-qualified package - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial SMT production requiring full ISO 7637-2 compliance and sub-ps response.

FAQ
What does the "CAH" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC110CAH?
The "CAH" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration (C), AEC-Q101 qualification (A), and DO-214AB (SMC) package (H). Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., 1.5SMC110H), the 1.5SMC110CAH clamps symmetrically in both polarities - essential for protecting AC-coupled or floating nodes without polarity constraints. This makes the 1.5SMC110CAH ideal for balanced signal lines and dual-rail power domains.
How does 1.5SMC110CAH meet ISO 7637-2 requirements?
The 1.5SMC110CAH is explicitly tested and rated for all five ISO 7637-2 transient pulses (1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b) per manufacturer documentation. Its 1500 W peak power rating, 152 V clamping voltage at 10.3 A, and sub-picosecond response enable it to absorb standardized load-dump and switch-off surges in 12 V/24 V vehicle networks without additional circuitry - a key design advantage of the 1.5SMC110CAH in automotive applications.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1.5SMC110CAH?
The 1.5SMC110CAH has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 6.5 W at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above that ambient temperature per the published thermal curve. This value reflects continuous DC or low-frequency power handling - distinct from its 1500 W peak pulse rating. Designers must ensure board layout and copper area support adequate heat spreading to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C, especially in enclosed industrial enclosures where the 1.5SMC110CAH operates near thermal limits.
Is 1.5SMC110CAH compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1.5SMC110CAH uses matte tin-plated leads and complies with J-STD-002 for solderability. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1 - meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and placed directly into standard lead-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020) without baking. This compatibility simplifies manufacturing and ensures robust joint formation in high-volume SMT lines using the 1.5SMC110CAH.
What is the typical junction capacitance of 1.5SMC110CAH at 0 V bias?
The datasheet does not specify junction capacitance for the 1.5SMC110CAH individually; however, the family exhibits typical CJ ≈ 100–200 pF at 0 V for VBR ≥ 100 V models (per Fig.3 curve). For high-speed data lines, this capacitance may affect signal integrity - so the 1.5SMC110CAH is best applied on power rails or low-bandwidth analog paths. For signal-line protection, lower-capacitance alternatives like SMAJ110CA (CJ ≈ 40 pF) should be evaluated instead of the 1.5SMC110CAH.
