Product details
Overview
SMCG110CAHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMCG (DO-215AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection on signal and power lines. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM), clamping voltage of 177 V at 8.5 A IPPM, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT datasheet, SMCG110CAHE3/9AT pinout, SMCG110CAHE3/9AT application, or SMCG110CAHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping performance, 177 V VC under 10/1000 µs surge, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and RoHS-compliant AEC-Q101 qualification for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamped crowbar during transients, with symmetrical breakdown behavior in both directions due to its bidirectional construction. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR (122–135 V) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping across repeated surges.
The SMCG110CAHE3/9AT leverages the DO-215AB gull-wing surface-mount package for automated placement and thermal reliability, with RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W. It meets UL 497B recognition and supports operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response clamping device placed after DC-DC converter output to prevent damage from output capacitor failure or feedback loop faults. Use Value: 1.0 µA ID at 110 V VWM ensures negligible standby current draw, preserving energy efficiency certifications like DOE Level VI. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110CA | Same VWM (110 V) and bidirectional configuration, but lower PPPM (400 W) and larger SMA (DO-214AC) package | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 | Select when board space allows larger footprint and surge requirements are ≤400 W |
| SMCJ110CA | Identical VWM and PPPM (1500 W), but uses SMC (DO-214AB) package with higher RθJA (85 °C/W) and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not qualified for automotive; requires larger copper pads for thermal management | Select for industrial or telecom use where AEC-Q101 is not required and DO-214AB is preferred |
Compared with SMAJ110CA and SMCJ110CA, the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT delivers equivalent 110 V bidirectional clamping with superior automotive qualification, tighter thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and optimized gull-wing geometry for high-density PCB layouts-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, mission-critical automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMCG110CAHE3/9AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 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, ensuring downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits.
Is the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its construction includes glass-passivated junctions, MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility, and operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature-meeting requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.
Does the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT have polarity markings on the package?
No, the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT does not feature polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMCG110A), the CA suffix indicates symmetrical breakdown behavior-both terminals serve as interchangeable anode/cathode paths, eliminating the need for orientation-specific placement during assembly.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT?
The SMCG110CAHE3/9AT has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead resistance (RθJL) of 15 °C/W, measured on the recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pad layout. These values enable effective heat dissipation during repetitive surge events and support sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
How does the SMCG110CAHE3/9AT differ from the SMCG110A variant?
The SMCG110CAHE3/9AT is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities, while the SMCG110A is unidirectional and features a cathode band marking. The CA version supports AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity concerns, whereas the A version requires correct orientation and offers forward voltage drop (VF = 3.5 V at 100 A) not applicable to the CA type. Both share identical VWM (110 V) and PPPM (1500 W).
