Product details
Overview
SMBJ110AHM3_B/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110AHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ110AHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ110AHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ110AHM3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 3.4 A surge, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs with 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with cathode-band polarity marking, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable avalanche behavior and low incremental surge resistance. Its 10/1000 µs waveform response delivers sub-nanosecond turn-on time and excellent clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45), critical for protecting MOSFET gates and IC I/O lines.
The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, supports 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM), and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction (HM3 suffix) and AEC-Q101 qualification confirm suitability for automotive and industrial environments requiring long-term reliability under repetitive surge stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe signal line operating margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on threshold across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamping voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; requires minimum 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad per terminal for rated derating. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial settings. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Peak forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates robustness against accidental forward polarity transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Polarity indicated by cathode band; anode and cathode terminals are axially oriented along the body length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / surge return path | Connected to ground or low-impedance reference plane; carries full surge current during clamping event. |
| Cathode | Avalanche conduction node / protected line interface | Connected to signal/power line being protected; initiates clamping when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surge events up to 4 kV (line-earth) without cascaded stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110AHE3_B/I | Same electrical specs but RoHS-compliant (E3), not halogen-free; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial equipment where halogen content and automotive qualification are not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs halogen-free or automotive compliance requirements. |
| SMCJ110A-HM3 | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher RθJA (60 °C/W) and 1500 W PPPM. | Better thermal performance and surge margin for high-power industrial motor drives with >5 A expected surge currents. | Choose when board space allows larger footprint and higher surge immunity is required beyond 600 W. |
Compared with SMBJ110AHM3_B/I, the E3 variant trades halogen-free construction for lower cost in non-automotive use, while the SMCJ110A-HM3 offers superior power handling at the expense of PCB area and thermal design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110AHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, and it defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ110AHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110AHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and carries the HM3 suffix indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction-both required for automotive use. Its -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature range, MSL Level 1 reflow rating, and validated surge endurance make it appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains. The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I meets automotive reliability standards without derating in typical under-hood thermal environments.
How does the SMBJ110AHM3_B/I differ from the SMBJ110A-E3 variant?
The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I differs from SMBJ110A-E3 in three key ways: it uses halogen-free molding compound (HM3 vs. E3), is AEC-Q101 qualified (whereas E3 is commercial-grade only), and ships in 13" tape-and-reel packaging (I-code) versus E3's standard 7" reel. Electrically, both share identical VWM (110 V), VBR (122–135 V), VC (177 V), and PPPM (600 W) specifications. The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I is selected when automotive compliance and green material requirements are mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance and recommended PCB layout for SMBJ110AHM3_B/I?
The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended pad layout: 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To achieve rated power dissipation and avoid thermal runaway during repetitive surges, designers must implement this pad size and ensure adequate copper area and via stitching to internal ground planes. The SMBJ110AHM3_B/I thermal performance is validated under these conditions per JEDEC standards.
Can SMBJ110AHM3_B/I be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, SMBJ110AHM3_B/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking and specified parameters (VBR, VC, ID) only for reverse-biased operation. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the CA-suffixed variant (e.g., SMBJ110CA). Using SMBJ110AHM3_B/I in bidirectional configurations risks forward conduction during negative transients and failure to clamp in one polarity. Always match the SMBJ110AHM3_B/I to unidirectional signal or power rail protection where polarity is fixed and known.
