Product details
Overview
SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 110 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 122 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), clamps transients 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 interfaces, and automotive body electronics for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, DO-214AC package thermal performance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead), and verified compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Class 1 (42 Ω source) and Class 2 (12 Ω source) surge levels.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling robust protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity constraints. Its <100 ps theoretical response time (unidirectional) and <5 ns for bidirectional operation ensures suppression before sensitive downstream circuitry sustains damage from fast-rising transients such as ESD or inductive switching spikes.
The device uses an avalanche diode structure optimized for low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.61) and stable leakage (<2.6 µA @ VWM). Thermal resistance of 15 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and 80 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4) supports reliable operation under repeated surges when mounted per recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR min | 122 V @ 1 mA - Minimum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; ensures predictable turn-on threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 196 V @ 5.2 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| PPP | 500 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity; enables protection against high-energy transients like lightning-induced surges. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤2.6 µA - Standby leakage current at rated standoff; negligible loading on 110 V supply rails. |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - Industry-standard surface-mount outline with wide leads for thermal dissipation and mechanical reliability. |
| RoHS | e3 suffix - Matte-tin plating compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; no lead, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ110CA | Identical VWM (110 V), VBR (122 V min), VC (196 V), and DO-214AC package; same 500 W rating but non-RoHS tin-lead plating. | Not suitable for RoHS-restricted production; requires lead-free assembly process compatibility verification. | Select if legacy tin-lead reflow is used and RoHS exemption applies. |
| Vishay SMAJ110CAHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs and DO-214AC package; enhanced moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and tighter VC tolerance (±5 % vs typical). | Better suited for high-reliability aerospace or medical applications requiring extended shelf life and tighter parametric control. | Select when MSL 1 assurance and tighter clamping consistency are critical for qualification. |
Compared with SMAJ110CAE3/TR13, Littelfuse SMAJ110CA lacks RoHS compliance and requires tin-lead soldering, while Vishay SMAJ110CAHE3_A/H offers identical specs with improved moisture robustness and tighter VC control-making it preferable for mission-critical designs where process control and long-term storage stability matter.

FAQ
What does the 'CA' suffix indicate in SMAJ110CAE3/TR13?
The 'CA' suffix in SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 denotes a bidirectional configuration, meaning the device provides symmetrical transient suppression for both positive and negative voltage excursions. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMAJ110A), SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 has no polarity marking and functions identically in either direction-ideal for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity cannot be guaranteed.
Is SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 RoHS compliant and what does the 'e3' suffix mean?
Yes, SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 is fully RoHS compliant. The 'e3' suffix specifies annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards, eliminating lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. This plating also meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required-and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 and how is it measured?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 is 196 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 5.2 A using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the highest voltage that will appear across the device during a worst-case surge event, directly limiting overvoltage stress on downstream components protected by SMAJ110CAE3/TR13.
Can SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 be used for IEC 61000-4-5 surge testing?
Yes, SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 is validated for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning surge immunity. It supports Class 1 (42 Ω source impedance) and Class 2 (12 Ω source impedance) testing per the datasheet, delivering full 500 W pulse power handling at 10/1000 µs. Its 196 V clamping voltage ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events.
What is the thermal resistance of SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 and why does it matter?
SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 80 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. This low RθJL enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon junction to the PCB copper, allowing SMAJ110CAE3/TR13 to survive repeated 500 W surges without thermal runaway or parameter drift.
