Product details
Overview
1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 110 V breakdown voltage (VBR min = 105 V), 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 152 V at 9.9 A, and operates across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and packaged in SMC (DO-214AB) for automotive-grade reliability in DC bus and sensor interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT datasheet, 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT pinout, 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT application, or 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 152 V max clamping at rated IPPM, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SMC package thermal resistance (RθJL = 15 °C/W), and compliance with UL 497B surge protector classification.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon avalanche diode structure with glass-passivated junction, enabling sub-nanosecond response to transients and low incremental surge resistance. Its bidirectional symmetry ensures identical clamping behavior in both polarities, eliminating polarity sensitivity in AC-coupled or floating lines.
Rated for 1500 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform and derated above 25 °C per Fig. 2, it supports repetitive surge duty cycles up to 0.01 % and withstands 200 A unidirectional IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine), though bidirectional operation excludes forward surge rating. Thermal design relies on RθJA = 75 °C/W (on 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads) and RθJL = 15 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V at 1 mA - defines reliable avalanche initiation threshold under transient stress |
| VWM | 94.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V at 9.9 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream component stress during 1500 W surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W (10/1000 µs) - peak transient energy absorption capacity without failure |
| TJ range | -65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - validated for automotive electronics per stress test requirements (HTOL, TCT, etc.) |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - surface-mount outline with 7.75 mm × 6.22 mm footprint and 2.62 mm height |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated, MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (bidirectional) | One terminal of symmetrical avalanche junction; no polarity marking required |
| Cathode | Transient current exit (bidirectional) | Second terminal of symmetrical junction; functionally identical to Anode in bidirectional mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Identical VBR, VC, and leakage performance in both directions - simplifies layout on AC or floating lines |
| 1500 W peak pulse rating | Withstands high-energy surges (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without degradation when mounted per recommended pad layout |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and high-temperature operating life |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | 1.45 (152 V / 105 V) - minimizes overvoltage stress on protected ICs compared to higher-ratio TVS devices |
| MSL Level 1 handling | Compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak - eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns |
Applications
| Automotive Power Line Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients per ISO 7637-2. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt clamp placed upstream of DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤152 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in downstream MOSFETs and PMICs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) connected to PLC I/O modules exposed to EFT and surge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed across differential pair or single-ended signal line near connector. Use Value: Clamps ±152 V spikes within <1 ns, preserving signal integrity and avoiding ADC saturation or op-amp input stage damage. |
| Telecom DC Power Feeds | Consumer Equipment AC/DC Input Stage |
Use Scenario: Protecting PoE-powered equipment (e.g., IP cameras) from induced surges on 48 V DC supply lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-level TVS after primary MOV, absorbing residual fast-rising transients. Use Value: Provides precise 94 V standoff and 152 V clamping-tighter tolerance than MOVs-ensuring safe operation of IEEE 802.3af/at circuitry. |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage suppression on secondary-side 12–24 V rails in SMPS for smart home hubs and displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage transient guard before LDOs and USB controllers. Use Value: Prevents system reset or brownout caused by coupling from primary-side switching noise or external ESD events. |
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 | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VBR (105–116 V), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-energy transients (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3) | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is ≤600 W; verify thermal margin with RθJA = 100 °C/W. |
| 1.5KE110CA | Same VBR and PPPM, but through-hole DO-201 package - no SMT compatibility | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; incompatible with automated SMT lines | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where rework flexibility outweighs production efficiency. |
Compared with SMBJ110CA and 1.5KE110CA, the 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT delivers automotive-grade reliability in an SMT-optimized package with superior thermal conduction (RθJL = 15 °C/W) and full AEC-Q101 validation-making it the preferred choice for volume automotive and industrial production where surge robustness and process compatibility are jointly critical.

FAQ
What does the "CA" suffix indicate in 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT?
The "CA" suffix in 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the device provides symmetrical transient voltage suppression in both polarities, with identical breakdown and clamping characteristics regardless of voltage polarity applied. This eliminates the need for polarity-aware placement and makes it ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where direction of surge is unpredictable.
Is 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance testing?
Yes, 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform and is AEC-Q101 qualified - key requirements for surviving ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) transients in automotive 12 V systems. When mounted per the recommended 8 mm × 8 mm copper pad layout, it maintains clamping below 152 V at 9.9 A, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
How does the HE3 suffix affect the specifications of 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT?
The HE3 suffix in 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification - distinguishing it from commercial-grade E3 variants. This includes extended reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, TCT, HAST), tighter parametric screening, and traceability to automotive-grade manufacturing lots, while retaining identical electrical specs (VBR, VC, PPPM) as the base 1.5SMC110CA part.
What is the maximum allowable PCB pad size for optimal thermal performance of 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT?
For optimal thermal performance, 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT should be mounted on minimum recommended copper pads: 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) per terminal, as specified in the Vishay datasheet. Larger pads improve heat dissipation and sustain higher surge repetition rates; reducing pad area increases junction temperature rise and may derate peak pulse power beyond the published 1500 W rating.
Does 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT have UL recognition, and if so, what standard does it meet?
Yes, 1.5SMC110CAHE3/9AT carries Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognition under file number E136766 for both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations, meeting UL 497B - the Standard for Safety of Protectors for Data Communications and Fire-Alarm Circuits. This certification validates its suitability for use in telecom, fire alarm, and other safety-critical signal-line protection applications.
