Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CAHM3_B/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 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), clamping voltage of 177 V at 3.4 A IPPM, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - deployed in industrial sensor signal lines and telecom interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I datasheet, SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I pinout, SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I application, or SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping behavior, 177 V VC rating at rated surge current, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction (HM3 suffix), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This device functions as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transient events, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to shunt surge energy away from downstream circuitry. Its bidirectional symmetry ensures identical clamping performance in both polarities, eliminating polarity sensitivity in AC-coupled or floating signal paths.
The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I exhibits low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive switching transients. Thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 20 °C/W (junction-to-lead) supports reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe working margin for protected line. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range; ensures predictable turn-on within spec under standardized test conditions. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs or MOSFETs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge immunity designs. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint; compatible with J-STD-020 MSL level 1 reflow profile (260 °C peak). |

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_B/I | Same electrical specs but RoHS-compliant (E3) without halogen-free certification; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial controls where automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Select when halogen-free requirement is waived and cost optimization is prioritized over automotive compliance. |
| SMAJ110CAHM3 | Lower PPPM (400 W vs. 600 W); same VWM/VBR/VC; SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 140 °C/W). | Limited to lower-energy transients; less thermal margin in high-ambient or high-duty-cycle environments. | Choose only if board space is constrained and surge threat level is limited to IEC 61000-4-2 ESD or low-level inductive spikes. |
Compared with SMBJ110CAHE3_B/I, the SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I adds halogen-free compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification without sacrificing clamping performance; versus SMAJ110CAHM3, it delivers 50 % higher surge power handling and superior thermal dissipation in the larger SMB package.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I maintains this clamping performance bidirectionally, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating signal paths where polarity cannot be guaranteed.
Is SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the HM3 suffix, and meets the stress testing requirements for automotive electronic components including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. It is commonly used in body control modules, infotainment interfaces, and sensor front-ends where protection against load dump (ISO 7637-2) and ESD (ISO 10605) is required. The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I's halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction further supports compliance with automotive material restrictions.
How does the SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I differ from unidirectional SMBJ110A variants?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I is bidirectional, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients, with no cathode band marking. In contrast, unidirectional variants like SMBJ110A feature a cathode band and conduct only in reverse bias - they block forward current and require correct polarity orientation. The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I's bidirectional design eliminates installation errors in AC or differential signal paths and simplifies layout for applications such as RS-485 or CAN bus protection where signal polarity alternates.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I, and how does it affect layout?
The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I 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 the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This means effective heat dissipation relies heavily on adequate copper area and via stitching to inner ground planes. For sustained surge duty cycles or high ambient temperatures, increasing pad size or adding thermal vias improves reliability - the SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I's 150 °C max junction temperature rating allows operation in demanding environments when thermally optimized.
Does SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I meet moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for standard SMT reflow?
Yes, SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I meets J-STD-020 MSL Level 1, with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. This classification means the device can be processed using standard lead-free reflow profiles without pre-baking or special dry-pack handling. The SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I's glass passivated chip junction and matte tin-plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, supporting high-yield automated assembly in commercial and automotive production lines.
