Product details
Overview
SMBJ110AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - used for protecting MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ110AHM3_A/H pinout, SMBJ110AHM3_A/H application, or SMBJ110AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and halogen-free RoHS compliance per HM3 suffix.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamping protection device triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above its stand-off voltage. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the SMB package supports automated placement and meets MSL Level 1 reflow requirements (peak 260 °C).
The device delivers 600 W peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform, exhibits 0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and maintains clamping voltage ≤177 V at IPPM = 3.4 A - enabling robust transient suppression in DC power rails and low-speed signal paths without forward conduction during normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working margin for 12 V–48 V DC systems. |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Verified breakdown threshold ensures predictable turn-on behavior under ESD or lightning-induced surges. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 600 W transient events. |
| PPPM | 600 W (10/1000 µs) - Sustains high-energy transients common in motor drives and relay switching circuits. |
| IFSM | 100 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Withstands repetitive inrush or fault currents without degradation. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Requires minimum 0.2" × 0.2" copper pad per terminal for thermal management in PCB layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110AHE3_A/H | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | Preferred for commercial-grade industrial designs where halogen content is unrestricted. | Select when cost optimization is prioritized over halogen-free compliance without sacrificing automotive qualification. |
| SMCJ110A-HM3 | Same VWM/VC but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher IPPM (6.2 A) and PPPM (1500 W). | Suitable for higher-energy surge environments (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets) requiring >600 W margin. | Choose when board space allows larger footprint and system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4. |
Compared with SMBJ110AHM3_A/H, SMBJ110AHE3_A/H offers identical protection performance at lower material cost, while SMCJ110A-HM3 trades compact SMB size for 2.5× higher pulse power - making the original optimal for space-constrained AEC-Q101 designs needing exact 600 W capability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under standardized test conditions with 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads and confirms the device's ability to limit transient overvoltage to a predictable level during surge events. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ110AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HM3" suffix denoting halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and automotive-grade construction. It is validated for use in body control modules, lighting systems, and power distribution units where reliability under thermal cycling, vibration, and extended temperature operation (-55 °C to +150 °C) is required. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H meets all stress tests defined in the AEC-Q101 standard for discrete semiconductors.
How does the SMBJ110AHM3_A/H differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ110CA?
The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking, intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed. In contrast, SMBJ110CA is bidirectional with no polarity marking and symmetric clamping in both directions - suited for AC signal lines or differential buses. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H provides lower leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and higher surge current rating in the forward direction, while SMBJ110CA exhibits matched VBR in both polarities but higher reverse leakage.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110AHM3_A/H, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value requires adequate copper area and thermal vias for sustained power dissipation; exceeding 5.0 W continuous power without additional heatsinking risks junction temperature exceeding 150 °C. Proper layout directly impacts the SMBJ110AHM3_A/H's ability to survive repetitive surge events.
Can SMBJ110AHM3_A/H be used in place of SMBJ100A or SMBJ120A?
No - SMBJ110AHM3_A/H is not a direct substitute for SMBJ100A (VWM = 100 V) or SMBJ120A (VWM = 120 V), as each part is optimized for distinct standoff voltage windows. Using SMBJ110AHM3_A/H where VWM = 100 V is required may cause premature clamping during normal operation; conversely, substituting SMBJ100A in a 110 V system risks failure during nominal voltage excursions. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/H must be selected based on precise system VWM and VBR matching.
