Product details
Overview
SMBJ110C-E3/52 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. 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, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110C-E3/52 datasheet, SMBJ110C-E3/52 pinout, SMBJ110C-E3/52 application, or SMBJ110C-E3/52 equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy surge suppression in industrial power supplies, automotive ECUs, and telecom interface circuits where fast response (<1 ns), low clamping ratio, and AEC-Q101 qualification (via HE3 variant) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector: under normal conditions it presents high impedance (>1 µA leakage at 110 V), then rapidly avalanches below 135 V to divert transient energy away from downstream ICs. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown characteristics and long-term reliability under repetitive surges.
The SMBJ110C-E3/52 is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature, exhibits 0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR, and achieves thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads - enabling predictable derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC rail margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures reliable triggering above system nominal voltage. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge testing. |
| IPPM | 3.4 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC; used to size PCB trace width and grounding paths. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets thermal design limits for enclosure airflow and board layout. |
| RθJA | 100 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard pad layout; required for thermal derating calculations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52 | Unidirectional, identical VWM/VBR/VC specs; same SMB package and RoHS compliance. | No functional difference; "A" and "C" suffixes both denote unidirectional variants per Vishay ordering nomenclature. | Select SMBJ110A-E3/52 if legacy BOM references "A" suffix; electrically interchangeable with SMBJ110C-E3/52. |
| SMCJ110A-E3/52 | Same electrical specs but in larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; 1500 W PPPM, higher IPPM (7.9 A), lower RθJA (50 °C/W). | Better thermal performance and surge margin; requires larger PCB footprint and different pad layout. | Choose SMCJ110A-E3/52 when higher surge endurance or extended thermal headroom is required; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with SMBJ110C-E3/52, SMBJ110A-E3/52 offers identical protection performance in the same footprint, while SMCJ110A-E3/52 trades board space for 2.5× higher pulse power and improved thermal management - critical for high-reliability or high-cycle-count deployments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ110C-E3/52 at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ110C-E3/52 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 3.4 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 and Table on page 2 of Vishay document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110C-E3/52 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ110C-E3/52 suitable for automotive applications?
The SMBJ110C-E3/52 is RoHS-compliant and qualified to commercial temperature grade (−55 °C to +150 °C), but it is not AEC-Q101 qualified in the E3 suffix configuration. For automotive use, engineers should select the SMBJ110CHE3 variant (HE3 suffix), which carries AEC-Q101 qualification and is explicitly listed in Vishay's automotive ordering codes. The SMBJ110C-E3/52 itself is intended for industrial and telecom applications.
How does the SMBJ110C-E3/52 differ from bidirectional variants like SMBJ110CA-E3/52?
The SMBJ110C-E3/52 is unidirectional, meaning it conducts only during positive overvoltage events relative to its cathode terminal, whereas SMBJ110CA-E3/52 is bidirectional and protects against surges of either polarity. Bidirectional types exhibit symmetric VBR in both directions and lack polarity marking. The SMBJ110C-E3/52 is appropriate for DC rails with defined ground reference, while SMBJ110CA-E3/52 suits AC-coupled or floating signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect SMBJ110C-E3/52 layout?
The SMBJ110C-E3/52 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout per Vishay's mechanical drawing. To maintain safe junction temperatures under repetitive surges, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal isolation - undersized traces or insufficient thermal vias will cause premature thermal derating and reduced surge endurance for the SMBJ110C-E3/52.
Can SMBJ110C-E3/52 be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No - SMBJ110C-E3/52 devices should not be paralleled due to manufacturing tolerances in VBR (122–135 V), which cause uneven current sharing and potential thermal runaway. Vishay does not recommend paralleling SMBJ series TVS diodes. For higher surge ratings, select a single device with greater PPPM such as SMCJ110A-E3/52 (1500 W), or implement staged protection with upstream MOVs and downstream TVS like SMBJ110C-E3/52.
