Product details
Overview
SMBG110A-M3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMBG (DO-215AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features 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 supply inputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG110A-M3/5B datasheet, SMBG110A-M3/5B pinout, SMBG110A-M3/5B application, or SMBG110A-M3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin vs. protected IC's absolute maximum rating, IPPM derating above 25 °C, unidirectional polarity marking (cathode band), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5 % typical) and low leakage (<1.0 μA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy diversion during transients. Thermal resistance is specified at RθJA = 100 °C/W (on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads) and RθJL = 20 °C/W.
It meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow), supports automated SMT placement, and is halogen-free and RoHS compliant per suffix "M3". Polarity is marked by a cathode band; no marking on bidirectional variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Ensures reliable triggering above system nominal voltage with margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBG110A-E3/5B | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; base P/N-E3 variant | Approved for industrial-grade use but lacks halogen-free certification required by some automotive Tier 1s | Select when halogen-free compliance is not mandated and cost optimization is prioritized |
| SMBG110AHM3/5B | Identical specs plus AEC-Q101 qualification explicitly stated in part number (HM3 suffix) | Qualified for automotive safety-critical modules where full AEC-Q101 traceability is contractually required | Choose for new automotive designs requiring documented AEC-Q101 test reports and lot-level qualification data |
Compared with SMBG110A-M3/5B, the E3 variant trades halogen-free status for broader industrial acceptance, while the HM3 variant adds formal AEC-Q101 documentation overhead without changing electrical behavior - making SMBG110A-M3/5B the optimal balance of automotive readiness, environmental compliance, and supply chain flexibility.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBG110A-M3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBG110A-M3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential surge waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream ICs' absolute maximum ratings. The SMBG110A-M3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBG110A-M3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBG110A-M3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified and constructed with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials per the "M3" suffix. It operates from −55 °C to +150 °C, supports MSL Level 1 reflow, and delivers 600 W peak pulse power - meeting requirements for engine control, body electronics, and infotainment power rail protection. The SMBG110A-M3/5B is widely deployed in Tier 1 automotive subsystems where transient immunity and long-term reliability are essential.
How does the SMBG110A-M3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBG110CA?
The SMBG110A-M3/5B is unidirectional and features polarity marking (cathode band), allowing it to conduct only in reverse avalanche mode - ideal for DC rail protection. In contrast, SMBG110CA is bidirectional, symmetric in both directions, and unmarked. While both share identical VWM, VBR, and VC values, the SMBG110A-M3/5B cannot replace SMBG110CA in AC-coupled or floating signal paths without circuit redesign. The SMBG110A-M3/5B is optimized for grounded-system DC protection.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBG110A-M3/5B, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBG110A-M3/5B 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, and RθJL = 20 °C/W junction-to-lead. To maintain safe operation under repeated surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and thermal vias. Derating curves in the SMBG110A-M3/5B datasheet show power capability drops above 25 °C ambient - confirming that thermal design directly impacts surge endurance.
Can SMBG110A-M3/5B be used in place of SMBG100A-M3/5B or SMBG120A-M3/5B?
No - SMBG110A-M3/5B is not a direct substitute for SMBG100A-M3/5B or SMBG120A-M3/5B due to differing standoff voltages (100 V vs. 110 V vs. 120 V) and corresponding clamping profiles. Selecting a different VWM alters the margin between normal operating voltage and clamping onset, risking either nuisance tripping or insufficient protection. Each SMBG110A-M3/5B must be selected based on exact system voltage tolerances and transient threat levels defined in standards like ISO 7637-2.
