Product details
Overview
SMBJ110C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection in power rails and signal lines. It features a 110 V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–149 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 196 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.2 A peak impulse current (IPP), and 600 W peak pulse power rating with <1.0 ps response time - ideal for automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110C datasheet, SMBJ110C pinout, SMBJ110C application, or SMBJ110C equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs transients, leakage current ≤1 µA at 110 V, thermal resistance (RθJA = 55 °C/W), and bidirectional marking compatibility (C suffix denotes bipolar configuration).
Technical Context
The SMBJ110C implements a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast transient suppression in DC power distribution networks. Its unidirectional polarity (cathode band marked) enables asymmetric clamping - conducting only during reverse overvoltage events while blocking forward conduction up to 3.5 V at 50 A.
It operates within –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1. Thermal design requires attention to RθJC = 10 °C/W and PCB copper area per suggested pad layout to sustain 3 W steady-state dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage the device blocks without clamping; sets minimum system operating margin before protection activates. |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 149 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures reliable turn-on above nominal rail while avoiding false triggering. |
| VC @ IPP | 196 V @ 3.2 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge; defines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1 µA - Ultra-low leakage preserves battery life and prevents unintended biasing in high-impedance circuits. |
| PPK | 600 W - Peak non-repetitive surge energy handling capability; supports automotive load-dump and inductive switching events. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without derating below ambient. |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - Requires ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper pour for thermal management in continuous 3 W dissipation scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AA (SMB), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band (unidirectional operation). Weight: 0.090 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ110A | Same VWM (110 V), slightly lower VC (192 V @ 3.3 A), higher IPP (3.3 A vs. 3.2 A), identical DO-214AA package. | Approved for aerospace-grade surge testing (MIL-STD-1275E); tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%). | Preferred where tighter parametric consistency and extended qualification are required; same PCB layout. |
| ON Semiconductor SMCJ110A | Higher PPK (1500 W), larger DO-214AB (SMC) package, VWM = 110 V, VC = 196 V @ 7.7 A. | Supports higher-energy transients (e.g., lightning-induced surges); not footprint-compatible with SMBJ110C. | Select when system-level surge test levels exceed ISO 7637-2 and board space allows larger SMC package. |
Compared with SMAJ110A, SMBJ110C offers identical clamping performance in a smaller DO-214AA footprint but with wider VBR tolerance; versus SMCJ110A, it trades peak power capacity for compactness and cost - making SMBJ110C optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial modules requiring ISO 7637-2 compliance.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of SMBJ110C?
The SMBJ110C is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode band marking indicating the high-side terminal. It conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events - i.e., when the cathode voltage exceeds the anode by ≥122 V. This configuration protects positive-rail systems like 12 V or 24 V automotive supplies while blocking forward conduction below 3.5 V.
Does SMBJ110C meet automotive surge immunity standards?
Yes, SMBJ110C meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a/2b (switching transients), and Pulse 3a/3b (electrical fast transients) requirements. Its 600 W peak pulse power rating, 196 V clamping voltage, and <1.0 ps response time ensure compliance without external filtering - validated per TSC's R2104 specification release.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SMBJ110C?
The SMBJ110C has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJA = 55 °C/W and RθJC = 10 °C/W. To maintain reliability, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area (≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper) and avoid sustained power dissipation above 3 W at ambient temperatures exceeding 75 °C.
How does SMBJ110C differ from SMBJ110CA?
SMBJ110C is unidirectional; SMBJ110CA is bidirectional - meaning it clamps symmetrically for both polarities. The "C" suffix alone indicates unidirectional construction with cathode band, while "CA" denotes bidirectional operation with center-tap symmetry. SMBJ110C cannot replace SMBJ110CA in AC-coupled or differential line protection without circuit redesign.
Is SMBJ110C RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, SMBJ110C is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability standards - satisfying environmental and safety requirements for consumer, medical, and transportation electronics.
