Product details
Overview
SMA6F110A-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SlimSMA (DO-221AC) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A (10/1000 μs), 600 W peak pulse power rating, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (15 kV air / 8 kV contact).
For engineers reviewing the SMA6F110A-M3/H datasheet, SMA6F110A-M3/H pinout, SMA6F110A-M3/H application, or SMA6F110A-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs surge, thermal derating on FR4 PCB, unidirectional polarity, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on consumer, industrial, and telecom signal lines.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped overvoltage protection device, leveraging Zener avalanche breakdown to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction only during positive surges relative to cathode, with reverse leakage current limited to ≤0.2 μA at 110 V stand-off voltage and junction temperature up to +175 °C.
The device uses a silicon planar junction structure optimized for low dynamic resistance (RD = 12.4 Ω typical), enabling precise clamping response across surge currents from 1 A to 3.4 A (10/1000 μs). Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 120–150 °C/W on standard FR4 PCB, supporting stable operation under repetitive transient stress when mounted per JEDEC 51-2A footprint guidelines.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6F110A-M3/6B | Same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (14,000 pcs/reel vs. 3,500 pcs/reel) and package code "6B" instead of "H" | Identical protection function; suited for high-volume automated assembly requiring larger reels | Select SMA6F110A-M3/6B when optimizing for feeder change frequency and minimizing line stoppages in mass production. |
| SMA6F100A-M3/H | Lower VWM (100 V) and VBR (111–123 V); clamps at 162 V (3.7 A); same package and thermal specs | Better suited for 90–100 V nominal systems where tighter clamping margin is required | Choose SMA6F100A-M3/H if system operating voltage is ≤100 V and lower clamping voltage is prioritized over headroom. |
Compared with SMA6F110A-M3/H, SMA6F110A-M3/6B offers identical protection performance with higher reel quantity for throughput-critical lines, while SMA6F100A-M3/H trades 10 V stand-off margin for 15 V lower clamping voltage-making it preferable in lower-voltage rails where overvoltage headroom is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMA6F110A-M3/H under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The SMA6F110A-M3/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to a 3.4 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions at TA = 25 °C and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream components. The SMA6F110A-M3/H maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range, supported by its 12.4 Ω dynamic resistance.
Is the SMA6F110A-M3/H suitable for lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SMA6F110A-M3/H is rated for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C and complies with MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, and the device passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing. The SMA6F110A-M3/H requires no pre-baking prior to SMT assembly under standard conditions.
How does the SMA6F110A-M3/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes?
The SMA6F110A-M3/H is unidirectional and functions only as a reverse-biased Zener clamp-conducting surge current from anode to cathode when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. Unlike bidirectional variants, it does not suppress positive transients on the cathode side. This makes the SMA6F110A-M3/H ideal for DC-biased lines like power rails or single-ended signal paths where polarity is fixed and forward conduction must be avoided.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMA6F110A-M3/H on a standard FR4 PCB?
The SMA6F110A-M3/H exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120–150 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper and JEDEC 51-2A footprint. This value supports continuous power dissipation up to 1.0 W at 25 °C ambient and derates linearly above that temperature, enabling reliable operation in industrial enclosures up to +85 °C ambient.
Can the SMA6F110A-M3/H replace SMA6F110A-M3/6B in a design?
Yes, the SMA6F110A-M3/H and SMA6F110A-M3/6B share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications-the only difference is packaging format (3,500 pcs/reel on 7″ tape vs. 14,000 pcs/reel on 13″ tape) and associated package code suffix. No PCB layout, schematic, or performance changes are needed when substituting SMA6F110A-M3/H for SMA6F110A-M3/6B, as both use the same SlimSMA (DO-221AC) footprint and marking.
