Product details
Overview
P4SMA110AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 110 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 105–116 V at IT = 1.0 mA), 152 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 2.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA110AHM3_A/H datasheet, P4SMA110AHM3_A/H pinout, P4SMA110AHM3_A/H application, or P4SMA110AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when transient voltage exceeds its standoff voltage (VWM = 94.0 V), it avalanches rapidly to limit downstream voltage to ≤152 V. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant (HM3 suffix). The device is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines precise avalanche initiation threshold for reliable overvoltage triggering |
| VWM | 94.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA; sets safe DC rail margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V at 2.0 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's worst-case stress level |
| PPPM | 400 W (≤91 V); 300 W (>91 V) - peak transient energy handling capability on standard PCB pad layout |
| IFSM | 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - surge current rating for unidirectional forward conduction during fault events |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 120 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on minimal copper pads; informs derating above 25 °C |

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 VBR range (105–116 V), but SMB package (DO-214AA); higher RθJA (100 °C/W) and lower IPPM (1.9 A) | Less board space efficiency; lower surge current handling on identical pad layout | Select when existing layout uses SMB footprint or requires slightly higher thermal mass |
| 1.5SMC110A | Same VBR, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher PPPM (1500 W), higher IPPM (13.3 A) | Overqualified for compact designs; requires larger PCB area and higher cost | Choose only if system-level testing demands >400 W surge immunity or extended lifetime under repeated stress |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1.5SMC110A, P4SMA110AHM3_A/H delivers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, compact SMA footprint, and validated 400 W transient handling-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules where reliability and manufacturability are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of P4SMA110AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The P4SMA110AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V at 2.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per JEDEC guidelines and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The P4SMA110AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is P4SMA110AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, P4SMA110AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HM3 suffix and documentation in Vishay's P4SMA series datasheet (Rev. 09-Jan-2024, Doc. #88367). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, making P4SMA110AHM3_A/H suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics such as body control modules and sensor interfaces.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in P4SMA110AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in P4SMA110AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It also specifies the packaging format: "H" indicates 7-inch tape-and-reel (1800 pcs/reel), and "_A/H" confirms revision level "A" and reel size "H". This distinguishes it from commercial-grade E3/M3 variants and non-automotive HE3/HM3 versions with different revision codes.
How does P4SMA110AHM3_A/H differ from bidirectional P4SMA110CA variants?
P4SMA110AHM3_A/H is unidirectional, featuring a cathode band and conducting only in reverse avalanche mode; it must be oriented with cathode toward the protected line. In contrast, P4SMA110CA is bidirectional, symmetrical, and lacks polarity marking-suitable for AC lines or differential signals. Their VBR, VWM, and VC values differ: P4SMA110CA has lower VBR (100–110 V) and VWM (85.5 V), and clamps at 145 V. P4SMA110AHM3_A/H is not interchangeable with P4SMA110CA without circuit redesign.
What is the maximum operating temperature for P4SMA110AHM3_A/H?
The P4SMA110AHM3_A/H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C and an operating junction/storage temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 120 °C/W on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; for example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power dissipation drops to ~1.8 W to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C. This makes P4SMA110AHM3_A/H suitable for under-dash automotive environments.
