Product details
Overview
SMBJ110A-M3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails 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 (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110A-M3/52 datasheet, SMBJ110A-M3/52 pinout, SMBJ110A-M3/52 application, or SMBJ110A-M3/52 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), polarity marking (cathode band), halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and real-world use context for surge immunity design in 48 V–110 V DC systems.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: it remains high-impedance below VWM (110 V), triggers avalanche conduction at VBR (122–135 V), and limits transient voltage to ≤177 V during 10/1000 µs surges up to 3.4 A. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Thermally, it sustains 150 °C max junction temperature with RθJL = 20 °C/W to lead and RθJA = 100 °C/W to ambient on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. The M3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction qualified per JESD201 Class 2 whisker test and MSL Level 1 (260 °C reflow peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC rail margin for 48 V–110 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensuring reliable turn-on without premature triggering under normal operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage during standardized 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum transient exposure. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables suppression of IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surges when properly mounted. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - Reverse leakage current at rated stand-off voltage; ensures minimal power loss and no false triggering in standby. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Thermal resistance to ambient on recommended PCB pad layout; informs heatsinking requirements for repetitive surge duty. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free (E3 vs. M3). | Acceptable where halogen-free requirement is not mandated (e.g., non-EU commercial equipment). | Select E3 for cost-sensitive, non-halogen-restricted designs; verify regional compliance documentation. |
| SMCJ110A-M3 | Same VWM/VBR/VC ratings but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher IPPM (5.0 A) and PPPM (1500 W). | Better suited for higher-energy surges (e.g., outdoor telecom cabinets), requiring more PCB area and thermal mass. | Choose SMCJ110A-M3 only if 600 W is insufficient and board space allows larger footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ110A-M3/52, the E3 variant offers identical protection performance without halogen-free assurance, while the SMCJ110A-M3 delivers 2.5× higher surge capacity in a physically larger package - making SMBJ110A-M3/52 optimal for space-constrained 600 W-class industrial and telecom applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ110A-M3/52 under surge conditions?
The SMBJ110A-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The SMBJ110A-M3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C).
Does SMBJ110A-M3/52 meet automotive qualification standards?
No - SMBJ110A-M3/52 is a commercial-grade part with halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix) but is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications, Vishay offers the SMBJ110AHM3_X variant (e.g., SMBJ110AHM3_B/H), which carries the HM3 suffix and explicit AEC-Q101 qualification. The SMBJ110A-M3/52 is intended for industrial, telecom, and computing systems where AEC-Q101 is not required.
How does the M3 suffix affect the construction of SMBJ110A-M3/52?
The M3 suffix on SMBJ110A-M3/52 indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meeting JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity (260 °C reflow peak). Unlike E3-suffix variants, M3 uses bromine- and chlorine-free molding compounds and plating chemistries - critical for compliance in EU, Japan, and other regulated markets. The SMBJ110A-M3/52 retains identical electrical and thermal specifications as its E3 counterpart.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMBJ110A-M3/52?
The SMBJ110A-M3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes still air and no additional heatsinking. For higher-duty-cycle applications, designers should consider RθJL = 20 °C/W to lead and optimize PCB copper area to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C. The SMBJ110A-M3/52 thermal performance is validated per JEDEC standards.
Can SMBJ110A-M3/52 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No - SMBJ110A-M3/52 is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking. For bidirectional protection, Vishay specifies the CA-suffixed variant (e.g., SMBJ110CA-M3/52), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using SMBJ110A-M3/52 in AC or floating signal paths risks reverse breakdown and permanent damage. Always match device polarity to circuit topology: SMBJ110A-M3/52 for DC rail protection with defined ground reference.
