Product details
Overview
SMBJ110CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-energy ESD and surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It features a 110V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–149V breakdown voltage (VBR), 196V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.2A peak impulse current, and 600W peak pulse power rating with DO-214AA (SMB) package. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b for automotive load-dump and inductive-switching immunity.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110CH datasheet, SMBJ110CH pinout, SMBJ110CH application, or SMBJ110CH equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional vs. bidirectional configuration (CH = bidirectional), clamping performance under 10/1000µs transients, junction temperature derating above 25°C, and compliance with automotive EMC standards including electrical fast transient (EFT) immunity.
Technical Context
The SMBJ110CH implements a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for low-leakage (<1 µA at 110V) and sub-1ps response time to transient overvoltages. Its bidirectional architecture enables symmetrical clamping in both polarities without external polarity management, supporting robust protection of differential buses and AC-coupled signal paths.
Thermally, it features a junction-to-case resistance (RθJC) of 10°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 55°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature. The DO-214AA package supports automated placement and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12V/24V vehicle power distribution networks from load dump and alternator transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient shunt on differential or single-ended sensor lines exposed to relay switching noise. Use Value: Sub-1ps response ensures clamping occurs before 10/1000µs EFT bursts exceed ADC input ratings, preserving measurement integrity. |
| LED Lighting Driver Protection | RS-485/RS-422 Bus Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED drivers from inductive kickback when driving solenoid-based dimming circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ110CA | Same DO-214AC (SMA) package; slightly higher VC (205V @ 3.1A); lower PPK (400W) | Lower power handling limits use in high-energy load-dump scenarios; suitable for space-constrained PCBs where SMB footprint is unavailable | Select when board area is constrained and surge energy is limited to <400W; verify layout clearance for SMA vs. SMB thermal dissipation |
| Vishay SMA6J110A | DO-214AC (SMA) package; bidirectional; VC = 191V @ 3.3A; AEC-Q101 qualified; same 600W rating | Identical clamping performance but smaller package - requires adjusted pad layout and may exhibit higher RθJA (65°C/W) | Prefer for new designs targeting footprint reduction; confirm thermal margin with RθJA derating curves under actual airflow conditions |
Compared with SMAJ110CA and SMA6J110A, the SMBJ110CH offers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 55°C/W vs. ≥65°C/W) and larger DO-214AA footprint for enhanced solder joint reliability in high-vibration automotive environments.

FAQ
What does the 'CH' suffix indicate in SMBJ110CH?
The 'CH' suffix in SMBJ110CH denotes a bidirectional configuration - meaning the device clamps transient overvoltages symmetrically in both polarities without requiring orientation during placement. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMBJ110H), SMBJ110CH has no cathode band marking and functions identically regardless of terminal connection direction, making it ideal for AC-coupled or differential signal protection.
Is SMBJ110CH suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) protection?
Yes, SMBJ110CH is explicitly rated to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b, and its 600W peak pulse power rating and 196V clamping voltage at 3.2A make it appropriate for moderate-energy load dump events. For full Pulse 5a compliance (up to 60V superimposed on 14V system), pairing SMBJ110CH with a higher-voltage TVS or using it in conjunction with a dedicated load-dump suppressor is recommended based on system-level testing.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of SMBJ110CH?
The SMBJ110CH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and thermal resistances of RθJC = 10°C/W (junction-to-case) and RθJA = 55°C/W (junction-to-ambient). These values enable reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures, provided PCB copper area and airflow align with the manufacturer's derating curves in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Does SMBJ110CH require moisture preconditioning before reflow soldering?
No, SMBJ110CH has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it is not humidity-sensitive and can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or dry-pack requirements. This eliminates pre-reflow bake steps, reducing manufacturing cost and cycle time in high-volume SMT assembly lines.
How does SMBJ110CH compare to unidirectional SMBJ110H in terms of clamping behavior?
SMBJ110CH clamps symmetrically in both directions with identical VBR (122–149V) and VC (196V) specifications, while SMBJ110H clamps only in reverse bias and conducts forward current like a standard diode. In applications with bidirectional transients - such as RS-485 buses or AC-coupled sensors - SMBJ110CH avoids the need for dual-diode configurations, simplifying layout and improving consistency versus SMBJ110H, which would require careful polarity alignment and cannot protect forward-polarity surges.
