Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. 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 (10/1000 µs waveform), deployed on signal lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I datasheet, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I pinout, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I application, or SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy transient suppression in automotive-grade, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant designs requiring AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping ratio, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity compliance.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, with identical electrical characteristics in forward and reverse directions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown behavior and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the low incremental surge resistance enables rapid energy diversion during ESD or lightning-induced transients.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead), supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted on recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads. Its 0.107 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient ensures predictable voltage threshold drift over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe working range for protected circuitry. |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold window; ensures consistent turn-on across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity when properly laid out. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at stand-off voltage; minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| MSL Level | Level 1 (J-STD-020) - No floor life limitation; allows unlimited exposure to ambient conditions prior to reflow. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated terminals solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Bidirectional construction means no polarity marking; both terminals are electrically symmetrical.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Both terminals serve as interchangeable surge current entry/exit points; no cathode band marking required for bidirectional types. |

Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Protection | Automotive Body Control Module Power Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines (e.g., 4–20 mA current loops) from inductive switching spikes in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp placed directly at connector interface to shunt transients before reaching precision ADC or op-amp front-end. Use Value: Limits induced voltage to ≤177 V during 3.4 A surges, preserving signal integrity and preventing latch-up in 12-bit DACs. |

Use Scenario: Securing hall-effect sensor outputs in smart washing machine motor controllers exposed to brush-commutator noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized TVS at sensor PCB edge, minimizing trace inductance to achieve sub-1 ns response to fast-rising spikes. Use Value: Glass-passivated junction delivers <1 ns response time, clamping 100 V transients before damaging 3.3 V MCU GPIOs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CAHE3_A/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified); uses standard tin plating instead of whisker-tested matte tin. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ110CAHE3_A/I when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and halogen-free content is not required. |
| SMAJ110CAHM3_A/I | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); same VWM/VBR/VC but reduced surge current handling (2.3 A vs. 3.4 A). | Insufficient for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to lower-energy transients in consumer-grade equipment. | Choose SMAJ110CAHM3_A/I only if board space constraints force SMA package adoption and surge threat level is below 2 kV. |
Compared with SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I, SMBJ110CAHE3_A/I offers identical clamping performance without automotive qualification or halogen-free assurance, while SMAJ110CAHM3_A/I trades 33 % peak power capacity for smaller footprint-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package outlines (SMB vs. SMA).

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform condition. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 standards and reflects the actual voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials, making it suitable for automotive applications such as body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and sensor interfaces. Its MSL Level 1 rating and 150 °C junction temperature capability further support under-hood and cabin deployment. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I meets automotive reliability and environmental requirements without derating.
How does the bidirectional configuration of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I affect its layout and usage?
The bidirectional configuration of SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I eliminates polarity concerns-both terminals are functionally identical, and no cathode marking is present. This simplifies PCB layout for AC-coupled or floating signals (e.g., RS-485, CAN bus stubs) and avoids orientation errors during automated placement. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I must be placed symmetrically across the protected node and reference plane, with minimal trace inductance to preserve sub-nanosecond response.
What is the thermal resistance specification for SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I has a typical thermal resistance of 20 °C/W from junction to lead (RθJL) and 100 °C/W from junction to ambient (RθJA) under standard test conditions (mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads). These values inform heatsinking decisions and duty-cycle limits for repetitive surge events. For sustained operation near TJ max, the SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I benefits from thermal relief via internal copper planes or external thermal vias.
Does SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I require special handling or baking before reflow soldering?
No, SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and requires no dry-packaging, baking, or moisture sensitivity controls prior to reflow. Its molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin-plated for compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260 °C. The SMBJ110CAHM3_A/I can be processed directly from tape-and-reel without preconditioning.
