Product details
Overview
SMAJ110AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for primary and secondary lightning surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 122 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), clamps to ≤196 V at 5.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), and delivers 500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs). It is used in industrial power supplies, telecom interface circuits, and automotive body control modules requiring IEC61000-4-5 Class 2 compliance with 42 Ω source impedance.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ110AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ110AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ110AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ110AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC's absolute maximum rating, standoff voltage alignment with nominal rail voltage (e.g., 96–110 V DC systems), thermal derating on FR4 PCBs, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with cathode-band polarity marking, optimized for fast response (<100 ps theoretical turn-on) to ESD (IEC61000-4-2), EFT (IEC61000-4-4), and induced surges. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package provides low thermal resistance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead) and supports 5 W steady-state dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature.
It is rated for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and no dry-pack requirement per J-STD-020B. The device sustains 40 A forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and exhibits <1 μA standby leakage at 110 VWM, ensuring minimal system power loss in always-on applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Standoff) | 110 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without conduction; sets upper limit for protected circuit operating voltage. |
| VBR (Min @ IBR) | 122 V @ 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPP | 196 V @ 5.2 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; must stay below protected IC's absolute max rating. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak transient energy handling capability; defines survivability against standardized lightning-induced surges. |
| ID @ VWM | <1 μA - Ultra-low leakage current at rated standoff; critical for high-impedance sensor or battery-backed circuits. |
| TJ Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - Full operational temperature range; supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Industry-standard surface-mount outline with wide leads for thermal dissipation and mechanical robustness. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), C-bend (modified J-bend) leads with RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating; cathode indicated by band; polarity-critical for unidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Surge return path / ground reference | Connected to system ground or low-impedance return plane; carries full surge current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Protected line input / high-side connection | Connected to the line being protected (e.g., +110 V rail); voltage referenced to anode during conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Class 2 (42 Ω source) for secondary lightning protection in industrial power inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110AHE3/TR13 | Same electrical specs but includes high-reliability screening (HTRB, surge, temp cycling) per MIL-PRF-19500 JANTX level. | Required for aerospace avionics or military-grade power interfaces where extended life testing is mandated. | Select SMAJ110AHE3/TR13 only when qualification to MIL-PRF-19500 is contractually required; otherwise standard SMAJ110AE3/TR13 suffices. |
| SMBJ110A-E3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC, but SMB package (DO-214AA) offers lower IPP (4.5 A) and 600 W PPP due to different thermal mass. | Better suited for space-constrained layouts where footprint reduction outweighs peak current margin. | Choose SMBJ110A-E3/52 if board area is constrained and 4.5 A IPP meets system surge test requirements; verify thermal performance on target PCB. |
Compared with SMAJ110AE3/TR13, SMAJ110AHE3/TR13 adds qualification rigor without altering electrical behavior, while SMBJ110A-E3/52 trades package size for reduced surge current headroom-both require explicit validation against the same IEC61000-4-5 test waveform and PCB thermal layout.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ110AE3/TR13 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMAJ110AE3/TR13 clamps to a maximum of 196 V when subjected to a 5.2 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions and guarantees that downstream components see no more than 196 V during a defined surge event. The SMAJ110AE3/TR13 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining sub-1 µA leakage at its 110 V standoff voltage.
Is SMAJ110AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free reflow?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in SMAJ110AE3/TR13 indicates RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for up to 10 seconds. The device meets J-STD-020B MSL Level 1, meaning it can be mounted directly from tape-and-reel without baking. SMAJ110AE3/TR13 is fully compatible with standard Pb-free assembly processes used in industrial and telecom manufacturing.
How does SMAJ110AE3/TR13 differ from bidirectional variants like SMAJ110CAE3/TR13?
SMAJ110AE3/TR13 is unidirectional and conducts only in reverse bias (cathode to anode), making it ideal for protecting positive DC rails where polarity is fixed. SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 is bidirectional, with symmetrical clamping in both directions, suited for AC lines or differential data buses. SMAJ110AE3/TR13 has lower capacitance and faster response (<100 ps) than its bidirectional counterpart, which exhibits half the zero-bias capacitance of Figure 4.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of SMAJ110AE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint, SMAJ110AE3/TR13 dissipates up to 5 W at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, or 1.56 W at ambient temperature (TA) of 25 °C. Its thermal resistance is 15 °C/W junction-to-lead, enabling effective heat transfer to the PCB copper pour. These ratings assume no additional heatsinking beyond the specified pad layout.
Can SMAJ110AE3/TR13 be used for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
No-SMAJ110AE3/TR13 is rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 only with 12 Ω source impedance (up to SMAJ12A), and for Class 4 with 42 Ω source impedance only up to SMAJ12A. For 110 V standoff, SMAJ110AE3/TR13 supports Class 1 (42 Ω) and Class 2 (42 Ω), as confirmed in the Applications section of the datasheet. Using it for Class 4 would exceed its 5.2 A IPP rating and risk failure.
