Product details
Overview
SMCJ110A-E3/57T from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed to protect sensitive electronics against high-energy transients. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform - used for surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110A-E3/57T datasheet, SMCJ110A-E3/57T pinout, SMCJ110A-E3/57T application, or SMCJ110A-E3/57T equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surge, unidirectional polarity marking, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
The SMCJ110A-E3/57T operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, delivering fast response time (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance to limit transient overvoltage before damage occurs. Its breakdown voltage range is 122 V to 135 V at 1 mA test current, with temperature coefficient of VBR at +0.107 %/°C.
Designed for unidirectional operation, it uses cathode-band polarity identification and meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak. Thermal resistance is 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) and 15 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL), supporting reliable operation up to TJ = +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V at IT = 1 mA - ensures predictable avalanche turn-on threshold |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - limits transient voltage seen by downstream circuitry during 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak power handling capability under standardized lightning-surge waveform |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves system efficiency in standby or low-power modes |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm thermal pad footprint |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SMCJ110A-E3/57T is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) package with two terminals: anode and cathode. The cathode is marked by a band on the body. Leads are matte tin plated and solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current to ground when V > VBR |
| Anode | Reference/ground return | Typically tied to system ground plane; completes clamping path during overvoltage event |
Key Features

|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV/2 Ω) on 12–48 V DC rails without degradation |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VWM = 1.61) | Minimizes voltage overshoot across protected ICs, reducing risk of latch-up or gate oxide stress |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables direct placement into lead-free reflow without baking or special handling |
| AEC-Q101 qualified variant available | HE3 suffix version supports automotive-grade reliability requirements including HTOL and temperature cycling |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR over lifetime and immunity to humidity-induced parameter drift |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110A-E3/61 | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), higher VC (187 V at 3.9 A) | Not suitable for 1500 W surge environments; limited to low-energy signal-line protection | Select only if space-constrained layout and lower surge threat level apply |
| SMCJ110CA-E3/57T | Bidirectional variant; same VWM (110 V), symmetric clamping in both polarities; identical PPPM and package | Required where AC-coupled or dual-polarity transients (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD) must be suppressed | Choose when protecting bidirectional data lines or floating supplies without defined polarity |
Compared with SMAJ110A-E3/61 and SMCJ110CA-E3/57T, the SMCJ110A-E3/57T delivers optimal balance of high-energy handling, unidirectional precision, and thermal robustness for DC power rail protection - making it preferred for industrial and automotive primary-side surge mitigation where polarity is fixed and energy levels exceed 1 kW.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ110A-E3/57T at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCJ110A-E3/57T has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per JEDEC guidelines and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMCJ110A-E3/57T maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range.
Is SMCJ110A-E3/57T RoHS-compliant and lead-free assembly compatible?
Yes, SMCJ110A-E3/57T carries the "E3" suffix indicating full RoHS compliance and qualification for lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards, and the device is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. No pre-baking is required prior to SMT placement. The SMCJ110A-E3/57T is manufactured using halogen-free molding compound.
How does the breakdown voltage tolerance of SMCJ110A-E3/57T affect circuit design?
The SMCJ110A-E3/57T has a specified breakdown voltage range of 122 V to 135 V at 1 mA test current, representing ±5.5% tolerance around the nominal 128.5 V midpoint. This tolerance must be accounted for when selecting the margin between VBR and the maximum expected operating voltage - for example, ensuring VWM (110 V) remains ≥10–15% below minimum VBR to avoid premature conduction. The SMCJ110A-E3/57T's +0.107 %/°C temperature coefficient further requires derating at elevated ambient temperatures.
Can SMCJ110A-E3/57T be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, SMCJ110A-E3/57T is a unidirectional TVS diode and must not be used on bidirectional signal lines such as RS-485, CAN, or USB without external polarity management. For such applications, the bidirectional variant SMCJ110CA-E3/57T is specified - it provides symmetrical clamping in both directions with identical VWM and PPPM ratings. Using SMCJ110A-E3/57T on AC-coupled or floating lines risks forward conduction during negative transients and potential device failure. Always verify polarity alignment before deploying the SMCJ110A-E3/57T.
What thermal considerations apply when mounting SMCJ110A-E3/57T on PCB?
SMCJ110A-E3/57T has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 15 °C/W. To maintain TJ ≤ +150 °C under full 1500 W surge conditions, PCB layout must provide minimum 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal as specified in the Vishay datasheet. Additional thermal vias and internal ground planes improve heat dissipation. Derating curves in Figure 2 show that at TA = 75 °C, the device supports only ~70% of its rated PPPM. Proper thermal design ensures long-term reliability of the SMCJ110A-E3/57T in continuous-duty applications.
