Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CA-M3/5B 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 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). It is widely deployed to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in industrial motor drives and telecom power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CA-M3/5B datasheet, SMBJ110CA-M3/5B pinout, SMBJ110CA-M3/5B application, or SMBJ110CA-M3/5B equivalent, key selection considerations include bidirectional clamping capability, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.44), halogen-free RoHS compliance (M3 suffix), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on PCBs requiring IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates symmetrically across both polarities, delivering identical clamping behavior during positive and negative transients - critical for AC-coupled signal lines and ungrounded bus protection. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and repeatable breakdown characteristics over temperature (-55 °C to +150 °C).
The device uses a planar silicon avalanche structure optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective suppression of ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges (IEC 61000-4-5). Its MSL Level 1 rating supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C without popcorn cracking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant conduction begins; defines operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 122–135 V at 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 177 V at 3.4 A (10/1000 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during rated surge; determines stress on downstream components. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 600 W - Maximum transient energy absorption capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; validates surge robustness. |
| IPPM (Peak Pulse Current) | 3.4 A - Corresponding surge current at VC; used to size PCB trace widths and verify system-level surge path integrity. |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +150 °C - Enables deployment in harsh environments including industrial controls and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Standardized 2-pin SMD outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint; compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC and automated pick-and-place. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), surface-mount, bidirectional configuration with no polarity marking - both terminals are electrically symmetrical.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode / Cathode (symmetrical) | Transient conduction path | Identical avalanche behavior in either direction; connects across protected line and return (e.g., RS-485 A/B, Ethernet pairs, AC power rails). |
| Cathode Band (absent) | Polarity indicator | Not present on bidirectional variants - confirms non-polarized installation; eliminates risk of reverse orientation during assembly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC signals or floating differential buses without external polarity management. |
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Validated against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV line-to-line, 2 kV line-to-earth) surge requirements. |
| Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant (M3 suffix) | Meets IPC-1752A material declaration standards and supports environmentally regulated industrial OEM programs. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns and enables standard lead-free assembly without baking or special handling. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.44) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during clamping, reducing stress on 120 V-rated downstream ICs and gate drivers. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Interfaces |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp across LIN data line and local ground to suppress coupled supply noise and load dump coupling. Use Value: Responds in <1 ns to clamp pulses up to 100 V, preserving signal integrity while meeting AEC-Q101 qualification via HM3 variant lineage. |
Use Scenario: Protection of analog outputs (4–20 mA, 0–10 V) in programmable logic controller (PLC) analog I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS placed across output terminals to prevent field-wiring faults (e.g., accidental 24 V short) from damaging DACs and current sources.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CA-E3/5B | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; same electrical specs and SMB package. | Preferred for commercial-grade applications where halogen content is unrestricted. | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and halogen-free certification is not required by end-customer specifications. |
| SMLJ110CA-M3 | Higher 1500 W peak pulse power; larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; otherwise identical VWM, VBR, and VC. | Suitable where higher surge margin is needed and board space allows larger footprint. | Choose when system-level surge testing exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and PCB layout accommodates 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm SMC outline. |
Compared with SMBJ110CA-E3/5B, the M3 version adds halogen-free compliance without performance trade-offs; versus SMLJ110CA-M3, the SMBJ offers identical protection in a 30% smaller footprint but with lower 600 W surge rating - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and telecom designs requiring certified green materials.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110CA-M3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110CA-M3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110CA-M3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.
Is SMBJ110CA-M3/5B suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, SMBJ110CA-M3/5B is explicitly designed as a bidirectional TVS diode, with symmetrical breakdown and clamping characteristics in both polarities. It is commonly applied across differential interfaces such as RS-485, CAN FD physical layers, and Ethernet PHY lines where polarity-agnostic surge suppression is required. The SMBJ110CA-M3/5B requires no orientation during placement due to its unmarked, non-polarized SMB package.
Does SMBJ110CA-M3/5B meet automotive qualification standards?
The base SMBJ110CA-M3/5B is commercial-grade and not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, it shares the same die and construction as the AEC-Q101-qualified HM3 variants (e.g., SMBJ110CAHM3_B/I). For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, the HM3-suffixed versions must be specified. The SMBJ110CA-M3/5B itself is widely used in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where qualification is not mandated.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110CA-M3/5B from junction to ambient?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMBJ110CA-M3/5B is 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended copper pad layout (0.2" × 0.2" per terminal). This value assumes still air conditions and informs derating calculations for sustained power dissipation. For higher-power applications, the SMBJ110CA-M3/5B's RθJL of 20 °C/W supports localized heat sinking via PCB copper pours connected to its leads.
How does the M3 suffix affect the environmental compliance of SMBJ110CA-M3/5B?
The M3 suffix indicates that SMBJ110CA-M3/5B is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, meeting IPC-1752A material declaration requirements and EU Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II. Unlike the E3 variant, M3 devices contain no brominated flame retardants or chlorine-based compounds in the molding compound or plating. This makes SMBJ110CA-M3/5B suitable for green electronics programs in industrial and telecom OEMs with strict substance restrictions.
