Product details
Overview
SMBJ110AHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives, telecom power supplies, and automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110AHM3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ110AHM3_A/I pinout, SMBJ110AHM3_A/I application, or SMBJ110AHM3_A/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, clamping performance under surge conditions, and direct replacement guidance for high-reliability board-level ESD and lightning surge protection.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, leveraging glass-passivated silicon junction technology to deliver sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 177 V clamping voltage at 3.4 A IPPM ensures reliable suppression of transients exceeding IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV surge) on 110 V DC systems.
The device is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use - confirmed by HM3 suffix and revision code "A/I". Thermal resistance is RθJA = 100 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), enabling stable operation up to TJ = 150 °C with appropriate PCB copper pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" per terminal).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected line voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at IT = 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation range; defines minimum overvoltage threshold for clamping action. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; supports repeated surge events at 0.01% duty cycle. |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - reverse leakage at rated stand-off voltage; ensures minimal power loss and noise coupling in standby. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, MSL Level 1 (J-STD-020), 260 °C reflow peak. Cathode indicated by band; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when voltage exceeds VBR. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes clamping path during overvoltage event. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including BCM, infotainment power rails, and sensor interfaces per stress test requirements. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 4 kV surge (10/1000 µs) without degradation when mounted on 5 mm × 5 mm copper pads. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | HM3 suffix confirms compliance with JEDEC J-STD-20 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including lead-free solder compatibility. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Ensures tight voltage margin between breakdown and clamping - critical for protecting 120 V-rated components. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables standard SMT reflow without baking; supports high-yield manufacturing in automated assembly lines. |

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/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant without halogen-free certification; E3 suffix instead of HM3. | Lacks halogen-free compliance documentation required for some automotive Tier 1 programs. | Select SMBJ110AHM3_A/I when halogen-free material declaration (e.g., IEC 61249-2-21) is contractually mandated. |
| SMCJ110A-HM3_A/I | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM rating vs. 600 W. | Higher power handling supports longer surge durations (e.g., ISO 16750-2 load dump), but requires larger PCB area. | Choose SMBJ110AHM3_A/I where space-constrained layouts preclude SMC footprint, and 600 W suffices for target threat level. |
Compared with SMBJ110AHE3_A/I, SMBJ110AHM3_A/I adds halogen-free assurance without sacrificing performance; versus SMCJ110A-HM3_A/I, it trades 2.5× peak power for 40% smaller board area - ideal for compact 110 V DC protection where surge repetition is low-duty-cycle.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110AHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads per terminal and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ110AHM3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110AHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the HM3 suffix and revision code "A/I" in its ordering designation. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge immunity applicable to automotive electronic control units. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I is commonly used in body control modules, lighting drivers, and power distribution units where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ110AHM3_A/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ110AHM3_A/I indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JEDEC J-STD-20 and IEC 61249-2-21 material requirements. It distinguishes the part from E3 (RoHS only) and HE3/HM3 variants with AEC-Q101 qualification. The "A/I" revision code denotes specific wafer lot and assembly traceability - critical for automotive PPAP documentation and failure analysis traceability for the SMBJ110AHM3_A/I.
How does SMBJ110AHM3_A/I compare to bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ110CA?
SMBJ110AHM3_A/I is unidirectional and intended for DC line protection where polarity is fixed; SMBJ110CA is bidirectional and suited for AC or floating signal lines. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I exhibits forward voltage drop (~3.5 V at 50 A) and asymmetric conduction, whereas SMBJ110CA clamps equally in both directions with no forward conduction path. For 110 V DC rails, SMBJ110AHM3_A/I provides lower leakage and tighter clamping than its bidirectional counterpart.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110AHM3_A/I, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 20 °C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under 5.0 W steady-state dissipation, PCB layout must include ≥0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal with internal thermal vias. The SMBJ110AHM3_A/I's thermal performance directly impacts surge repetition rate capability and long-term reliability in high-temperature enclosures.
