Product details
Overview
SMBG110A-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for robust overvoltage protection in 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 3.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power dissipation with a 10/1000 μs waveform - deployed in automotive power electronics, industrial motor drives, and telecom interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG110A-E3/52 datasheet, SMBG110A-E3/52 pinout, SMBG110A-E3/52 application, or SMBG110A-E3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 3.4 A surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and DO-215AA (SMBG) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: when reverse voltage exceeds VBR, it avalanches to divert transient energy away from downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 μA at 110 V) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and lightning-induced surges.
Thermal design is constrained by RθJA = 100 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and TJ(max) = 150 °C, requiring layout-aware thermal relief. The device supports repetitive 0.01% duty cycle pulses and meets UL 497B recognition (QVGQ2) and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52 | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but SMB (DO-214AA) package - 2.4 mm height vs. SMBG's 1.6 mm | Less suitable for ultra-low-profile layouts; identical electrical performance in PCB-constrained designs | Select SMBG110A-E3/52 when board height ≤1.6 mm is required; SMBJ110A-E3/52 if legacy footprint compatibility needed |
| SMCJ110A-E3/52 | Higher PPPM = 1500 W, larger SMC (DO-214AB) package, RθJA = 35 °C/W - better thermal performance but 3× footprint area | Better for high-repetition surges or higher ambient temperatures; overkill for single-event protection in space-limited modules | Choose SMBG110A-E3/52 for cost- and size-sensitive consumer/automotive modules; SMCJ110A-E3/52 where sustained surge duty exists |
Compared with SMBJ110A-E3/52 and SMCJ110A-E3/52, SMBG110A-E3/52 delivers identical clamping performance in the smallest possible surface-mount form factor - critical for modern ADAS camera modules and compact power supplies where Z-height and PCB real estate are constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG110A-E3/52 and how is it measured?
The SMBG110A-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using a standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is guaranteed per Vishay Document Number 88456, Revision 09-Jan-2024. The SMBG110A-E3/52 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining low incremental resistance for effective energy diversion.
Is SMBG110A-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG110A-E3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operating junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C, making it suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive applications including body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS sensor interfaces. Its UL 497B recognition and robust surge ratings align with ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 requirements. The SMBG110A-E3/52 also meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility.
What does the "E3/52" suffix mean in SMBG110A-E3/52?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads; "52" denotes the preferred packaging code - 750 pieces per 7-inch plastic tape-and-reel. This format supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and complies with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD22-B102 mechanical reliability standards. The SMBG110A-E3/52 is distinct from HE3 (AEC-Q101 qualified) and M3 (halogen-free) variants, all sharing the same electrical specifications but differing in compliance scope and packaging.
How does SMBG110A-E3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG110CA?
SMBG110A-E3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in reverse avalanche mode and blocks forward current above ~3.5 V. In contrast, SMBG110CA is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities and no polarity marking. The SMBG110A-E3/52 is selected for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed, offering tighter leakage control (≤1.0 μA) versus bidirectional types (which may exhibit higher leakage at low VWM). Electrical parameters such as VBR and VC are otherwise matched.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG110A-E3/52 and how does it affect layout?
The SMBG110A-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's DO-215AA outline drawing. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under repeated surges, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length or isolation. The SMBG110A-E3/52 benefits from thermal vias under pads and shared ground planes to reduce effective RθJA.
