Product details
Overview
SMCJ110A-E3/9AT 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 voltage transients induced by inductive load switching and lightning surges. 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 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) with 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT datasheet, SMCJ110A-E3/9AT pinout, SMCJ110A-E3/9AT application, or SMCJ110A-E3/9AT equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy surge protection in automotive power supplies, industrial motor control interfaces, and telecom line-card DC rails where robust clamping, low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM), and AEC-Q101 qualification readiness are critical.
Technical Context
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggering when reverse voltage exceeds its specified breakdown range (122–135 V). Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance and low incremental surge resistance, enabling consistent clamping performance under repetitive transient stress.
Thermally, it exhibits RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, supporting operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. The device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is RoHS-compliant with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC rail margin for protected circuitry. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and unit variation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs or MOSFETs. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak transient energy absorption capability; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surge compliance with proper layout. |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage at rated stand-off; minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-backed or low-power systems. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature rating; enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad thermal relief; compatible with automated placement and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
SMCJ110A-E3/9AT uses the SMC (DO-214AB) package: a molded plastic case with two coplanar leads, cathode indicated by a band. Leads are matte tin-plated and compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards. Thermal performance assumes mounting on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction path (unidirectional) | Connected to system ground or low-side reference; carries surge current during clamping event. |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal (marked with band) | Connected to protected line (e.g., 110 V DC rail); avalanche conduction initiates here when VWM exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Supports high-energy transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without failure when mounted per recommended pad layout. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.42) | Minimizes overvoltage overshoot during surge events, reducing stress on downstream 150 V-rated components. |
| 1.0 µA max reverse leakage at VWM | Enables use in always-on, low-quiescent-current applications such as automotive body control modules. |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows unlimited floor life before reflow; eliminates bake requirements and simplifies SMT manufacturing flow. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification option | Base P/NHE3 variant available for automotive-grade reliability; SMCJ110A-E3/9AT shares identical die and construction. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Motor Drive DC Bus |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A-E3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), same VWM/VBR/VC, SMB (DO-214AA) package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA). | Suitable for space-constrained, lower-energy applications (e.g., sensor nodes); not rated for 1500 W surges. | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is ≤600 W (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2). |
| SMCJ110CA-E3/9AT | Bidirectional variant; identical VWM/VBR/VC ratings but symmetric clamping in both polarities. | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where negative transients must also be suppressed. | Choose only if bidirectional protection is mandated - unidirectional SMCJ110A-E3/9AT offers lower cost and simpler grounding for DC rails. |
Compared with SMBJ110A-E3/52T, the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT delivers 2.5× higher surge power handling and better thermal dissipation; versus SMCJ110CA-E3/9AT, it provides optimized cost and layout simplicity for grounded DC systems where negative transients are absent or blocked.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT clamps to a maximum of 177 V when subjected to its rated 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured under defined test conditions (mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads) and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events. The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT maintains this clamping performance across its operational temperature range.
Is the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT suitable for automotive applications?
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT is RoHS-compliant and built on the same die and construction as the AEC-Q101-qualified SMCJ110AHE3 variant. While the -E3/9AT suffix denotes commercial-grade qualification, its electrical and thermal specifications-including 1500 W PPPM, 150 °C TJ max, and MSL Level 1-align with automotive environmental demands. For production automotive use, the HE3 variant is required; the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT serves well in prototyping, industrial equivalents, and non-safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
How does the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT differ from the SMCJ110CA-E3/9AT?
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT is unidirectional, with polarity marked by a cathode band and intended for DC rail protection where only positive transients occur. The SMCJ110CA-E3/9AT is bidirectional, offering symmetrical clamping for AC or floating lines. Both share identical VWM (110 V), VBR (122–135 V), VC (177 V), and PPPM (1500 W), but the CA version has no polarity marking and double the ID limit for VWM ≤10 V-irrelevant for the 110 V variant. The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT is preferred for grounded DC systems due to lower cost and simplified layout.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W and junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 15 °C/W. These values assume mounting on 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. To maintain reliability under repeated surges, PCB layout must replicate this pad area and avoid excessive trace length or narrow connections. Reducing copper area increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway during high-duty-cycle transients-so the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT's thermal design must follow Vishay's recommended land pattern.
Does the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT meet any industry surge immunity standards?
The SMCJ110A-E3/9AT is rated for 1500 W peak pulse power with a 10/1000 µs waveform, making it suitable for compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV, 2 Ω source impedance) when implemented with appropriate PCB layout and coordination with upstream filtering. It also supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) in automotive designs when paired with series impedance. While the SMCJ110A-E3/9AT itself is not certified to these standards, its parameters enable system-level compliance when applied per Vishay's application guidance and layout recommendations.
