Product details
Overview
SMBG110A-M3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional 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 rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in automotive power electronics, industrial motor drives, and telecom interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG110A-M3/52 datasheet, SMBG110A-M3/52 pinout, SMBG110A-M3/52 application, or SMBG110A-M3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, DO-215AA (SMBG) package compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at VWM.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping-type surge protector, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to limit transient voltages before they damage downstream ICs or MOSFETs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low incremental surge resistance, while its low-profile SMBG package supports automated SMT placement on high-density PCBs.
The device is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), exhibits 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 with 260 °C reflow peak - confirming suitability for industrial and automotive reflow processes without moisture sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on within defined tolerance band under standardized test conditions |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs transient event |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak surge power handling capability per single transient, enabling protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surges |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference | Provides low-impedance path to ground during transient clamping; must be routed with minimal inductance |
| Cathode | Current exit point in forward bias; connected to protected line | Accepts surge energy from protected node (e.g., 12 V rail or CAN bus line) and shunts it to ground |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBG110AHE3/52 | AEC-Q101 qualified; identical electrical specs; same SMBG package; HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 grade | Required for automotive safety-critical modules where full AEC-Q101 traceability is mandated | Select SMBG110AHE3/52 when qualifying for ASIL-B systems or Tier 1 automotive BOMs requiring certified lot traceability |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBG110A-M3/52 under standard test conditions?
The SMBG110A-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMBG110A-M3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG110A-M3/52 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C. Its glass-passivated junction, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and 100 A surge current rating make SMBG110A-M3/52 appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power rail protection where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is mandatory.
What does the "M3" suffix indicate in SMBG110A-M3/52?
The "M3" suffix in SMBG110A-M3/52 denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with industrial-grade qualification. It confirms compliance with IEC 61249-2-21 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance - distinguishing it from "E3" (standard RoHS) and "HM3" (halogen-free + AEC-Q101) variants.
How does SMBG110A-M3/52 differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG110CA?
SMBG110A-M3/52 is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking; it conducts only in reverse breakdown and blocks forward current. In contrast, SMBG110CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and clamps transients of either polarity - making SMBG110A-M3/52 ideal for DC power lines where polarity is fixed and leakage minimization is prioritized.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG110A-M3/52, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBG110A-M3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under repetitive surge conditions, designers must ensure adequate copper area and avoid thermal bottlenecks - underscoring why SMBG110A-M3/52's RθJA is specified with defined pad geometry.
