Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), making it suitable for protecting MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H datasheet, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H pinout, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H application, or SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional surge clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and thermal performance under repetitive transient stress in automotive and industrial environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during ESD and lightning-induced surges, with symmetrical breakdown behavior in both polarities due to its bidirectional construction. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR (122–135 V) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling fast response (<1 ns) and consistent clamping across temperature.
The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H is rated for TJ = –55 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W and RθJL = 20 °C/W, supporting reliable operation on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads. Its M3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working margin for 96–110 V DC bus protection. |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V at IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress; critical for safeguarding 150 V-rated MOSFETs or gate drivers. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity; supports repeated surge events at 0.01% duty cycle without degradation. |
| IPPM | 3.4 A - Peak surge current capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating enables use in under-hood automotive modules and high-ambient industrial controls. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking; terminals are matte tin-plated leads, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (negative polarity event) | Conducts surge current when voltage at this terminal falls ≥VBR below cathode; symmetric with cathode in bidirectional operation. |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (positive polarity event) | Conducts surge current when voltage at this terminal exceeds anode by ≥VBR; identical clamping behavior to anode side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity concerns-no external circuit inversion needed. |
| 600 W peak pulse power | Handles IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave surges (e.g., 2 Ω source impedance, 1 kV) without failure, supporting industrial-grade immunity. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications including engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (M3) | Meets global environmental regulations and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements for long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during transients-critical for protecting sensitive 120 V-rated gate drivers and microcontrollers. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial PLC I/O Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CAHE3_A/H | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification. | No difference in surge protection function; differs only in material composition (Br/Cl content). | Select HE3 if halogen content is unrestricted and cost sensitivity favors commercial-grade variant. |
| SMAJ110CAHM3 | Lower 400 W PPPM, higher VC = 196 V at 2.6 A; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA). | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 or automotive load dump. | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 400 W rating suffices and thermal margin allows. |
Compared with SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H, the HE3 variant offers identical surge performance with non-halogen-free materials, while the SMAJ110CAHM3 sacrifices 33% peak power and clamping precision for reduced board area-making the SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H optimal for high-reliability, high-energy protection where footprint permits.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during surge events. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (–55 °C to +150 °C), ensuring predictable protection in demanding environments.
Is SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation in datasheet 88392. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and surge robustness-validating its use in automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H meets all requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted modules subject to ISO 16750-2 environmental stresses.
How does the bidirectional design of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H affect its circuit placement?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H has no polarity marking and conducts identically in both directions, allowing direct placement across ungrounded or AC-coupled nodes-such as differential data lines, transformer secondaries, or floating sensor bridges-without orientation constraints. Unlike unidirectional TVS diodes, the SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H eliminates risk of incorrect installation and simplifies layout for symmetric surge paths. Its bidirectional behavior is verified across the full VBR range (122–135 V) in both polarities.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H, and how does it impact PCB layout?
SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 20 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C during repetitive surges, designers must provide adequate copper area and avoid excessive trace length. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H's low RθJL enables effective heat transfer to PCB planes via its leads, supporting reliable operation at 5.0 W steady-state dissipation.
Does SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H meet UL 497B recognition requirements?
Yes, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H carries Underwriters Laboratories recognition under UL 497B (file E136766) for both unidirectional and bidirectional transient protectors. This certification confirms compliance with safety standards for telecommunications and signal-line protection, including dielectric withstand, flammability (UL 94 V-0 molding compound), and surge endurance. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/H's UL recognition applies directly to its configured part number and supports system-level safety certifications in telecom and industrial equipment.
