Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB package, designed for overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features 110 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 122–140 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 600 W peak pulse power dissipation - deployed in industrial power supply input stages to absorb lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CA-13-F datasheet, SMBJ110CA-13-F pinout, SMBJ110CA-13-F application, or SMBJ110CA-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC's absolute maximum rating, bidirectional capability for AC-coupled or floating lines, thermal derating above +25°C, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 1.96–2.21 mm body height PCBs.
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, enabling robust protection of differential signal lines, AC mains inputs, and ungrounded bus interfaces without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<5 µA at VRWM) over temperature.
The device complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) immunity requirements when used with appropriate series impedance. Thermal performance is governed by steady-state power dissipation of 5.0 W at TL = +75°C and pulse derating of 4.8 W/°C above +25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W - sustains single 8.3 ms half-sine surge without failure under defined test conditions |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 110 V - maximum continuous DC or RMS voltage before significant leakage begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 122–140 V @ 1.0 mA - guaranteed conduction onset range defining protection threshold |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 177 V @ IPP = 3.4 A - maximum voltage seen by downstream circuit during specified surge event |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 3.4 A - peak current handled at VC; determines minimum series impedance required for target clamping |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial enclosures |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - surface-mount outline with 4.06–4.57 mm width, compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case rated UL 94V-0, 0.1 g mass, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode Band (Not Present) | None - bi-directional configuration | No polarity marking; terminals are functionally identical for surge conduction in either direction |
| Anode / Cathode (Symmetrical) | Transient Conduction Path | Both terminals serve as interchangeable surge current entry/exit points; no DC bias dependency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional suppression | Enables single-device protection of AC lines, RS-485 buses, and transformer-coupled interfaces without polarity concerns |
| Glass-passivated die | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and low parametric drift across 1000+ thermal cycles |
| RoHS & Halogen-Free | Meets EU RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and Diodes Inc.'s "Green" standard (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) |
| 600 W pulse rating | Provides margin against 1 kV/500 A 8/20 µs surge events when paired with ≥33 Ω series impedance |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates bake requirement prior to reflow; safe for standard SMT assembly without dry pack handling |
Applications
| Industrial AC Input Protection | RS-485 Data Line Surge Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 VAC control power input to PLC I/O module exposed to induced surges from nearby motor switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp placed across AC input terminals ahead of bridge rectifier. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤177 V, preventing damage to rectifier diodes and downstream regulator ICs during 1 kV line-to-ground surges. |
Use Scenario: Two-wire RS-485 transceiver interface in factory automation network subject to ground potential differences and ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS connected between A/B differential pair and local ground plane. Use Value: Clamps common-mode surges up to ±1 kV without distorting signal integrity due to symmetrical 177 V clamping on both polarities. |
| DC Power Rail Transient Suppression | Transformer-Coupled Isolated Interface |
Use Scenario: 48 V DC power rail feeding remote sensors in outdoor telecom cabinets, vulnerable to lightning-induced coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across rail near connector entry point, upstream of DC-DC converter input. Use Value: Absorbs 600 W surge energy within 177 V clamping limit, preserving converter MOSFETs rated for 60 V max drain-source voltage. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side signal isolation using pulse transformer in isolated CAN or SPI interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bi-directional TVS mounted across transformer secondary windings to suppress coupled transients. Use Value: Prevents insulation breakdown in transformer windings by limiting voltage stress to ≤177 V during fast-rising surges. |
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-13-F | Uni-directional version; includes cathode band marking and forward voltage drop (~3.5 V) in one polarity | Requires correct orientation on PCB; unsuitable for AC or floating differential lines | Select only when protecting DC rails with known polarity and where unidirectional clamping suffices |
| SMAJ110CA | Lower 400 W peak power rating; SMA package (smaller footprint, lower thermal mass) | Limited to lower-energy transients; less robust under repeated surge stress | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer-grade designs with reduced surge immunity requirements |
Compared with SMBJ110CA-13-F, the uni-directional SMBJ110A-13-F offers tighter VBR tolerance but lacks AC-line flexibility, while the SMAJ110CA sacrifices 33% pulse power headroom and thermal robustness for smaller board area - making SMBJ110CA-13-F optimal for industrial-grade surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the meaning of the 'C' suffix in SMBJ110CA-13-F?
The 'C' denotes bi-directional functionality: the device conducts symmetrically for positive and negative transients, with no cathode band marking and identical electrical behavior on both terminals. This enables use on AC lines, differential buses, and floating circuits where polarity is undefined or alternates - unlike uni-directional variants that require correct orientation and exhibit forward voltage drop in one direction.
Can SMBJ110CA-13-F be used in place of a uni-directional TVS like SMBJ110A-13-F?
Yes, but only if the circuit does not rely on DC forward conduction or polarity-specific behavior. The bi-directional version will protect both polarities equally and eliminate orientation errors during assembly. However, it cannot replace uni-directional TVS in applications requiring low forward voltage clamping in one direction - such as DC rail protection where reverse blocking must be maintained.
What is the maximum recommended PCB trace length between SMBJ110CA-13-F and the protected node?
For effective surge suppression, keep PCB traces from the TVS to the protected node under 5 mm and minimize loop area. Longer traces add inductance that increases voltage overshoot during fast transients (e.g., ESD), potentially exceeding the clamped voltage. Use wide, short copper pours tied directly to ground plane vias adjacent to the device terminals.
How does SMBJ110CA-13-F perform under repeated surge stress?
It is rated for non-repetitive pulses (≤4 per minute); repeated surges cause cumulative thermal stress. At 25°C ambient, its 600 W rating applies only to single events. For repetitive operation, derate peak power using the 4.8 W/°C curve and ensure PCB copper area provides adequate heat spreading - sustained operation above 100°C junction temperature risks parametric shift or failure.
