Product details
Overview
P4SMA110A from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for overvoltage protection in DC power lines and signal paths. It features a 94.0 V working stand-off voltage, 105–116 V breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 152 V maximum clamping voltage at 2.7 A (10/1000 µs), 400 W peak pulse power rating, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed in on-board DC/DC converters and industrial SMPS inputs.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA110A datasheet, P4SMA110A pinout, P4SMA110A application, or P4SMA110A equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b, low leakage (<1 µA at VWM), DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, and thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
The P4SMA110A employs a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression with typical response time under 1.0 ps. Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric conduction: low forward voltage (3.5 V at 25 A) during surge events and high reverse blocking up to 94.0 V under normal operation.
It meets ISO 7637-2 compliance for automotive load-dump and switching transients, supports JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and uses UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound. The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits a VBR temperature coefficient of 0.107 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 94.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage begins; sets system-level DC bus margin. |
| VBR min/max | 105–116 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures reliable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V at 2.7 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage defines worst-case voltage seen by protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity per single 10/1000 µs waveform; determines survivability against defined surge profiles. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered systems. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive modules and thermally constrained industrial enclosures without derating penalties. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Standardized SMT outline compatible with IPC-7351B footprint; supports reflow and wave soldering per J-STD-002. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; dual-terminal construction (anode/cathode); matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by molded cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-biased TVS operation | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; establishes reference for clamping action toward this node. |
| Cathode | Protected line input terminal | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., DC input rail); conducts surge current to anode when VAK exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling stress. |
| Clamping ratio (VC/VBR) | ~1.36 (152 V / 112 V avg) - Low ratio minimizes voltage overshoot during surge events relative to breakdown threshold. |
| ISO 7637-2 compliance | Validated for Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (line spikes) - meets automotive ECU protection requirements. |
| Moisture sensitivity level | MSL Level 1 (per J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; safe for standard SMT assembly without baking. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with IEC 61249-2-21 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - suitable for green manufacturing and export markets. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial DC/DC Converter Input Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller I/O and CAN transceiver power rails from load-dump transients during battery disconnect/reconnect events.

Use Scenario: Provides secondary-side overvoltage protection on -48 V telecom distribution boards exposed to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between -48 V rail and signal ground to clamp positive-going transients only. Use Value: Achieves 152 V clamping at 2.7 A, enabling coordination with upstream GDTs and downstream TVS arrays for staged protection architecture. |
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 DO-214AA (SMB) package; 110 V VWM, 122–135 V VBR, 177 V VC @ 2.3 A; 600 W rating. | Higher clamping voltage (+25 V) and larger footprint; better suited for higher-energy surges where board space allows SMB. | Select SMBJ110A when system-level surge testing requires >400 W margin or when using existing SMB footprints. |
| 1.5SMC110A (ON Semiconductor) | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 110 V VWM, 122–135 V VBR, 177 V VC @ 2.3 A; 1500 W rating. | Larger SMC package enables higher surge endurance but occupies ~2.5× PCB area; not drop-in compatible with SMA layout. | Choose 1.5SMC110A for high-reliability telecom or railway applications demanding multi-kW surge immunity and extended lifetime. |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1.5SMC110A, the P4SMA110A delivers optimal balance of compact DO-214AC footprint, precise 94.0 V standoff, and verified ISO 7637-2 compliance - making it ideal for space-constrained automotive and industrial DC/DC designs where clamping voltage headroom is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the P4SMA110A under standard test conditions?
The P4SMA110A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs impulse current waveform at 2.7 A. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and represents the peak voltage across the device during surge conduction - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the P4SMA110A suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the P4SMA110A is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not rated for bidirectional operation. For bidirectional protection, Taiwan Semiconductor offers the P4SMA110CA variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities and is explicitly characterized for that configuration per the datasheet.
Does the P4SMA110A meet automotive-grade reliability standards?
Yes, the P4SMA110A meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b requirements for automotive electrical disturbances and is qualified to JESD201 Class 2 for whisker resistance. Its MSL Level 1 rating and –55 °C to +150 °C operating range align with AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for passive components.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the P4SMA110A at its working voltage?
The P4SMA110A specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA when biased at its working stand-off voltage (VWM) of 94.0 V. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on circuits and avoids interference with high-impedance sensing nodes downstream of the protected rail.
Can the P4SMA110A be used in reflow soldering processes without preconditioning?
Yes, the P4SMA110A is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require baking or dry-pack handling prior to standard lead-free reflow soldering. Its moisture-resistant molding compound and matte tin plating ensure compatibility with IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 assembly requirements.
