Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CA-M3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on signal or power lines. It features a 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown range (VBR at 1 mA), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CA-M3/52 datasheet, SMBJ110CA-M3/52 pinout, SMBJ110CA-M3/52 application, or SMBJ110CA-M3/52 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, 177 V clamping voltage at rated surge current, halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector with symmetrical avalanche behavior in both directions, enabling transient suppression on AC-coupled or floating signal paths without polarity concerns. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), while the 100 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires careful PCB pad design for sustained power dissipation.
The SMBJ110CA-M3/52 delivers 600 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions, with derating above 25 °C per Figure 2. It exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.107 %/°C and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C reflow peak.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ110CA-M3/52 under standard test conditions?
The SMBJ110CA-M3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 3.4 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 88392, ensuring predictable voltage limiting during surge events without exceeding downstream component ratings.
Is SMBJ110CA-M3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
The SMBJ110CA-M3/52 itself is commercial-grade and halogen-free but not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Vishay offers the SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I variant, which shares identical electrical specs and SMB package but adds AEC-Q101 qualification and extended temperature validation. Engineers must specify the HM3 suffix for automotive body control or infotainment systems.
How does the bidirectional nature of SMBJ110CA-M3/52 affect its PCB layout?
Because SMBJ110CA-M3/52 is bidirectional, it has no polarity marking and can be mounted in either orientation across the protected line and ground. Layout requires symmetric 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to maintain rated 600 W pulse power handling and thermal performance-no cathode/anode routing distinction is needed.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of SMBJ110CA-M3/52, and why does it matter?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of SMBJ110CA-M3/52 is 110 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state below this voltage and does not interfere with normal circuit operation. This value ensures compatibility with 100–110 V nominal DC systems (e.g., telecom -48 V with ripple, industrial 110 V control rails), preventing false triggering while maintaining sufficient margin above operating voltage.
Does SMBJ110CA-M3/52 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-SMBJ110CA-M3/52 must be derated above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in Vishay's Document 88392. At 75 °C, its peak pulse power drops to ~400 W, and at 125 °C, it falls to ~200 W. Designers must adjust expected surge capability based on actual board temperature and ensure junction temperature stays ≤150 °C using appropriate copper area and airflow.
