Product details
Overview
P4SMA110AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in power and signal lines. It features a 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, and 400 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - suitable for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection in sensor interfaces and DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the P4SMA110AHM3/I datasheet, P4SMA110AHM3/I pinout, P4SMA110AHM3/I application, or P4SMA110AHM3/I equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance (HM3 suffix), SMA (DO-214AC) package compatibility, and verified clamping performance under repetitive transient stress per IEC 61000-4-5 and ISO 7637-2.
Technical Context
The P4SMA110AHM3/I operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown threshold. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5%) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling precise, repeatable clamping during fast transients (response time < 1 ns).
Thermally, it supports operation from −65 °C to +150 °C with RθJA = 120 °C/W (on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and is rated for 3.3 W steady-state power dissipation. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 105 V / 116 V at 1.0 mA test current - defines reliable conduction onset under transient overvoltage |
| VWM | 94.0 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 µA |
| VC @ IPPM | 152 V at 2.0 A - clamping voltage limiting downstream circuit stress during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability with standard lightning/surge waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - single half-sine surge current rating (8.3 ms), supporting high-energy inductive switch-off 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110A | Same VBR range (105–116 V), identical SMA package, but rated for 400 W with 10/1000 µs waveform and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Commercial/industrial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Select SMAJ110A for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| 1.5SMC110A | Higher power rating (1500 W), DO-214AB (SMC) package - larger footprint (7.11 mm × 6.22 mm) and higher thermal mass | Used where sustained surge energy exceeds 400 W or board layout allows larger SMD footprint | Choose 1.5SMC110A when protecting high-power systems like inverters or telecom rectifiers requiring >1 kW surge margin |
Compared with SMAJ110A and 1.5SMC110A, the P4SMA110AHM3/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and compact SMA packaging - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained automotive modules needing certified reliability without PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the P4SMA110AHM3/I under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The P4SMA110AHM3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 152 V at 2.0 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C, mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads) and reflects the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during surge events. The P4SMA110AHM3/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the P4SMA110AHM3/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the P4SMA110AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction validated for automotive use. It meets stress-test requirements including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD immunity - making the P4SMA110AHM3/I appropriate for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power rails.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in P4SMA110AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in P4SMA110AHM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It also indicates AEC-Q101 qualification and packaging in 13" tape-and-reel (I-type carrier). The P4SMA110AHM3/I is distinct from E3/M3 variants, which lack automotive qualification.
How does the P4SMA110AHM3/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes?
The P4SMA110AHM3/I is unidirectional and intended for DC-biased lines where reverse polarity protection is required - unlike bidirectional types (e.g., P4SMA110CA) that protect AC or symmetrical signals. Its cathode band must be oriented toward the positive rail. The P4SMA110AHM3/I offers tighter VBR tolerance and lower leakage than equivalent bidirectional devices, optimizing performance in regulated power domains.
What is the thermal resistance of the P4SMA110AHM3/I?
The P4SMA110AHM3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. Its junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) is 30 °C/W. These values enable reliable operation at 3.3 W steady-state dissipation up to +50 °C ambient, provided PCB layout follows Vishay's pad recommendations.
