Product details
Overview
SMAJ110CA-M3/61 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 1.7 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform). It is used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial motor drives and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ110CA-M3/61 datasheet, SMAJ110CA-M3/61 pinout, SMAJ110CA-M3/61 application, or SMAJ110CA-M3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 177 V VC under 1.7 A surge, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness via HM3 variant.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transient events - conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, with low incremental surge resistance ensuring stable clamping across surge amplitude. Its bidirectional symmetry enables protection of AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity concerns.
The SMAJ110CA-M3/61 uses a glass-passivated silicon junction for robust surge handling and fast response (<1 ns), and its thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W) requires PCB copper pad design per Vishay's 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) recommendation to sustain 400 W peak pulse power.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110A-M3/61 | Unidirectional version - cathode-marked, conducts only in reverse direction | Requires correct polarity placement; unsuitable for AC or floating nodes | Select only when protecting unidirectional DC rails with known polarity and no risk of reverse voltage exposure |
| SMBJ110CA-M3/61 | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but in SMB (DO-214AA) package - 20 % larger footprint, 50 % higher PPPM (600 W) | Higher surge margin but incompatible PCB land pattern; requires layout change | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds 400 W or when thermal budget allows larger package |
Compared with SMAJ110A-M3/61, the SMAJ110CA-M3/61 eliminates polarity dependency for flexible layout; compared with SMBJ110CA-M3/61, it offers identical electrical protection in a space-constrained SMA footprint - ideal for dense industrial PCBs where 400 W surge margin suffices.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMAJ110CA-M3/61 under full-rated surge current?
The SMAJ110CA-M3/61 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 1.7 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The SMAJ110CA-M3/61 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMAJ110CA-M3/61 suitable for automotive applications?
The SMAJ110CA-M3/61 is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, with an M3 suffix indicating commercial-grade qualification. While not AEC-Q101 qualified itself, the HM3 variant (e.g., SMAJ110CA-HM3/61) is AEC-Q101 qualified. Engineers selecting SMAJ110CA-M3/61 for automotive use must verify system-level qualification requirements; the SMAJ110CA-M3/61 serves as the base platform for such qualification.
How does the bidirectional design of SMAJ110CA-M3/61 affect PCB layout?
The bidirectional nature of SMAJ110CA-M3/61 eliminates polarity constraints - no cathode band marking is present, and either terminal may connect to the line or ground. This simplifies layout for AC-coupled interfaces, differential buses, or floating sensors. Unlike unidirectional variants, SMAJ110CA-M3/61 avoids risk of incorrect orientation during assembly, reducing rework in high-volume production.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended PCB layout for SMAJ110CA-M3/61?
The SMAJ110CA-M3/61 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 120 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended pads. Vishay specifies 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal to achieve full 400 W pulse power rating. Reducing pad area de-rates power handling - the SMAJ110CA-M3/61 must be placed accordingly to avoid thermal runaway during repetitive surges.
Does SMAJ110CA-M3/61 meet moisture sensitivity and reflow requirements for automated assembly?
Yes, SMAJ110CA-M3/61 meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. It requires no baking prior to SMT placement and is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. The matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, ensuring reliable solder joint formation - a key requirement for high-yield manufacturing of the SMAJ110CA-M3/61.
