Product details
Overview
SMCG110AHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMCG (DO-215AB) package, featuring a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 177 V clamping voltage (VC). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power systems against inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMCG110AHE3/9AT datasheet, SMCG110AHE3/9AT pinout, SMCG110AHE3/9AT application, or SMCG110AHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1500 W surge capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42), DO-215AB thermal performance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with glass-passivated junction and cathode-band polarity marking. Its 110 V stand-off rating enables use on 96 V nominal automotive battery rails, while the 177 V clamping voltage limits downstream stress during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a events.
The SMCG110AHE3/9AT delivers fast response time (<1 ns), low incremental surge resistance, and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (260 °C reflow peak). Its thermal design supports 6.5 W steady-state dissipation at TA = 50 °C on infinite heatsink, with junction temperature rated to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at IT = 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on above system overvoltage threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines maximum stress on protected IC |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak transient energy handling capacity under standardized surge waveform |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on recommended 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature for AEC-Q101 automotive reliability compliance |
| Package | SMCG (DO-215AB) - Surface-mount gull-wing package with 3.17 mm lead pitch and 7.87 mm body length |
Pinout & Package
SMCG110AHE3/9AT uses the SMCG (DO-215AB) surface-mount package: gull-wing leads, matte tin-plated terminals, 0.220–0.245 inch (5.59–6.22 mm) body width, and cathode band marking on the anode side for unidirectional polarity identification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference | Provides return path during clamping; must be routed with low-inductance ground plane |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; marked with band; connected to protected line | Connects to I/O, power rail, or signal line requiring transient protection; determines clamping polarity |
Key Features

| Glass passivated junction | Enables stable VBR over lifetime and improved moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) | Minimizes overvoltage margin between breakdown and clamping-critical for 120 V-rated components |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without preconditioning or dry-pack requirements |
| RoHS compliant, HE3 suffix | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110A-E3/57T | Same VWM (110 V), lower PPPM (400 W), SMA (DO-214AC) package, RθJA = 95 °C/W | Lower surge rating suits consumer-grade 24 V systems; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs require basic 110 V clamping without automotive qualification |
| SMCJ110AHE3/9AT | Same VWM (110 V), higher PPPM (1500 W), identical SMCG package, but SMCJ series has tighter VBR tolerance (±5 % vs ±6.5 %) | Designed for same automotive applications but with tighter parametric control for safety-critical subsystems | Choose when functional safety (ISO 26262) requires tighter VBR consistency across temperature and lot variance |
Compared with SMAJ110A-E3/57T, SMCG110AHE3/9AT delivers 275 % higher surge power and automotive qualification; versus SMCJ110AHE3/9AT, it trades minor VBR tolerance relaxation for broader availability and optimized cost-per-watt in volume production.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCG110AHE3/9AT at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCG110AHE3/9AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.5 A under a 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 177 V clamping ensures compatibility with 200 V-rated downstream components such as gate drivers and DC-DC controllers in automotive applications.
Is SMCG110AHE3/9AT qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMCG110AHE3/9AT is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation (Document Number 88457, Revision 09-Jan-2024). The HE3 suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, RoHS compliance, and industrial grade. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD robustness-making SMCG110AHE3/9AT suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What does the "9AT" suffix indicate in SMCG110AHE3/9AT?
The "9AT" suffix in SMCG110AHE3/9AT specifies the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3500 devices per reel. This differs from the "57T" option (7-inch reel, 850 units). Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications; the 9AT format is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines requiring extended reel life and reduced changeover frequency.
How does the SMCG (DO-215AB) package compare thermally to SMA (DO-214AC)?
The SMCG (DO-215AB) package used by SMCG110AHE3/9AT offers lower thermal resistance than SMA (DO-214AC): RθJA = 75 °C/W versus ~95 °C/W for SMAJ variants, when mounted on identical 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads. This 21 % improvement allows SMCG110AHE3/9AT to sustain higher average power dissipation in thermally constrained layouts-critical for under-hood automotive modules where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C.
Can SMCG110AHE3/9AT be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMCG110AHE3/9AT is a unidirectional TVS diode, as indicated by the "A" (not "CA") suffix and cathode-band marking. Bidirectional operation requires the "CA" suffix (e.g., SMCG110CA). Using SMCG110AHE3/9AT in reverse-biased AC signal paths would result in forward conduction and failure. For bidirectional protection at 110 V standoff, select SMCG110CAHE3/9AT, which exhibits symmetric breakdown in both directions.
