Product details
Overview
SMAJ110CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a 110 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 122 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 196 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 17.7 A peak pulse current, and 500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform-used in industrial power supply input stages to protect downstream regulators and controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ110CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ110CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ110CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ110CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning compliance (Class 1 with 42 Ω source), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, DO-214AC package thermal performance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 = 2500/reel).
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal bias it draws ≤2.6 µA standby current at 110 V, but conducts fully when transient voltage exceeds 122 V (measured at 1 mA IBR). Its <100 ps theoretical response time enables effective suppression of ESD (IEC61000-4-2) and EFT (IEC61000-4-4) events.
The bidirectional construction (denoted by "C" suffix) provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities without polarity dependence, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal lines. Thermal resistance of 15 °C/W junction-to-lead ensures stable operation during repetitive surges when mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24–48 V DC industrial power rail exposed to load dump, inductive switching, and nearby lightning-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges before they reach DC-DC converters and microcontrollers. Use Value: 196 V clamping voltage limits stress on 36 V-rated input stages of buck controllers, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage. | Use Scenario: Long-haul RS-485 bus in factory automation, subject to ESD events and ground potential differences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS connected across differential pair (A–B) and to ground to suppress common-mode and differential-mode transients. Use Value: Symmetrical 122 V breakdown ensures equal clamping for both polarities, preserving signal integrity during ±8 kV contact ESD per IEC61000-4-2. |
| Telecom AC Adapter Output | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Interface |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side output of isolated AC/DC adapter powering sensitive logic in set-top boxes or VoIP phones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed at adapter output connector to absorb coupling transients from shared building wiring. Use Value: 500 W rating handles 10/1000 µs surges up to 17.7 A, exceeding IEC61000-4-5 Level 3 requirements for residential equipment. | Use Scenario: LIN or CAN physical layer interface in BCM exposed to battery transients and ESD during service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS on LIN bus line (single-wire) referenced to vehicle chassis ground. Use Value: 110 V standoff allows operation across full 9–16 V battery range while clamping 122 V transients to protect LIN transceivers rated for 13.2 V abs max. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110CAHE3/A | Same electrical specs; "HE3/A" denotes high-reliability screening per MIL-PRF-19500 JANTX level | Required for aerospace/avionics where extended temperature cycling (-55°C to +125°C ×10) and HTRB validation are mandated | Select SMAJ110CAHE3/A only if qualification to MIL-PRF-19500 is contractually required; otherwise SMAJ110CE3/TR13 suffices for commercial/industrial use |
| SMBJ110CA | Same VWM/VC, but lower 600 W PPP rating and SMB (DO-214AA) package with higher RθJA (100 °C/W) | Preferred where board space is constrained and surge energy is limited to <600 W; less effective for repeated high-energy events | Choose SMBJ110CA only if footprint reduction is critical and thermal management supports its lower power derating; SMAJ110CE3/TR13 offers superior thermal performance in same layout |
Compared with SMAJ110CAHE3/A, the SMAJ110CE3/TR13 omits military screening but retains identical clamping behavior and RoHS compliance; versus SMBJ110CA, it delivers better thermal dissipation (15 vs. 100 °C/W) and proven 500 W surge endurance in industrial environments.

FAQ
What does the "C" in SMAJ110CE3/TR13 indicate?
The "C" suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration: SMAJ110CE3/TR13 clamps transients equally in both polarities, unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMAJ110A). This eliminates polarity concerns in AC-coupled or floating circuits and matches the symmetrical breakdown behavior required for RS-485 or LIN bus protection. The device has no cathode marking, consistent with bidirectional TVS design.
Is SMAJ110CE3/TR13 compliant with IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge protection?
Yes, SMAJ110CE3/TR13 meets IEC61000-4-5 Class 1 secondary lightning surge immunity when tested with a 42 Ω source impedance, supporting peak currents up to 17.7 A. Its 196 V clamping voltage ensures protected circuitry remains within safe operating limits during standardized 10/1000 µs surge waveforms-verified in Microsemi's characterization per MSC0270A Rev L.
What is the thermal resistance of SMAJ110CE3/TR13, and why does it matter?
SMAJ110CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W. This low value enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB copper through the wide DO-214AC leads, allowing the device to sustain repetitive 500 W surges without thermal runaway. It directly impacts reliability in applications with frequent transients, such as motor drive power inputs.
Can SMAJ110CE3/TR13 replace SMAJ110A in an existing design?
No-SMAJ110CE3/TR13 is bidirectional while SMAJ110A is unidirectional. Substituting them requires verifying circuit polarity: SMAJ110A conducts only during positive overvoltage (anode grounded), whereas SMAJ110CE3/TR13 conducts for both polarities. Using SMAJ110CE3/TR13 in place of SMAJ110A may cause unintended conduction in DC-biased lines, risking malfunction or damage.
What does "TR13" mean in SMAJ110CE3/TR13?
"TR13" indicates tape-and-reel packaging: SMAJ110CE3/TR13 is supplied on a 13-inch reel containing 2500 units, conforming to EIA-481-1-A standards. This format enables direct integration into automated SMT pick-and-place equipment, reducing manual handling and improving placement accuracy-critical for high-volume industrial manufacturing.
