Product details
Overview
BZW04-110 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS) designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 111 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 124–137 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), clamping voltage of 179 V at 2.2 A peak impulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the BZW04-110 datasheet, BZW04-110 pinout, BZW04-110 application, or BZW04-110 equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/EFT immunity in automotive body electronics, industrial sensor interfaces, and lighting control circuits where fast clamping (<1 ns response), low leakage (<1 μA @ VWM), and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The BZW04-110 functions as a silicon avalanche diode with unidirectional polarity, leveraging controlled reverse-biased breakdown to clamp transient overvoltages before they reach downstream ICs. Its DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package supports through-hole mounting and provides thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard PCB layouts.
It delivers 400 W surge capability per the 10/1000 μs waveform standard (IEC 61000-4-5), with clamping voltage tightly specified at 179 V under 2.2 A IPP, enabling predictable protection margin design. The device exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of 0.107 %/°C, ensuring stable breakdown behavior across its full operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 111 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without conduction. |

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 | Same DO-214AA package; lower PPK (600 W vs. 400 W), higher VC (183 V), tighter VBR tolerance (5% vs. ±5.3%). | Preferred for surface-mount designs with space constraints; less suitable for through-hole legacy boards. | Select SMBJ110A only if SMT assembly is mandatory and 183 V clamping is acceptable for protected IC voltage ratings. |
| P6KE110A | DO-15 package; identical VWM/VBR/VC specs but lower PPK (600 W), higher RθJA (125 °C/W), and no AEC-Q101 option. | Used in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies; lacks automotive qualification and thermal performance for under-hood use. | Choose P6KE110A for non-automotive, ambient-temperature applications where DO-15 footprint compatibility is required. |
Compared with BZW04-110, SMBJ110A offers superior power density in SMT form but sacrifices through-hole ruggedness and AEC-Q101 assurance, while P6KE110A matches electrical specs but lacks automotive validation and thermal efficiency for high-reliability deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZW04-110 under surge conditions?
The BZW04-110 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 179 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current (IPP) of 2.2 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and defines the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a standardized surge event. The BZW04-110 maintains this clamping performance consistently across its operating temperature range.
Is the BZW04-110 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the BZW04-110 is offered in an AEC-Q101 qualified version (BZW04-110H), validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing, and ESD robustness. Its –55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range and DO-204AL mechanical construction make it appropriate for under-hood and chassis-mounted systems where the BZW04-110 provides reliable transient suppression.
How does the BZW04-110 differ from bidirectional variants like BZW04-110B?
The BZW04-110 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it protects only against positive-going transients on the cathode side relative to anode ground. In contrast, BZW04-110B is bidirectional, symmetrically clamps both polarities, and lacks polarity marking. Both share identical VWM (111 V), VBR (124–137 V), and VC (179 V), but BZW04-110B is used for AC-coupled or differential signal lines where polarity reversal occurs.
What is the thermal resistance of the BZW04-110 in typical PCB mounting?
When mounted on a standard PCB with 10 mm lead length, the BZW04-110 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W. Its junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) is 60 °C/W, supporting efficient heat transfer to copper pads or chassis connections. These values enable reliable operation at full 400 W surge rating only for short-duration pulses, with steady-state dissipation limited to 1 W at TL = 75 °C.
Can the BZW04-110 be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No - the BZW04-110 is not recommended for parallel operation due to mismatch in VBR (124–137 V range) causing uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. For higher IPP requirements, select a single higher-rated device such as BZW04-128 (2.0 A IPP) or consult Taiwan Semiconductor's application guidance for staged protection topologies using the BZW04-110 as a secondary clamp.
