Product details
Overview
SMCJ110AHE3/9AT from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown range (VBR), and 177 V clamping voltage (VC) at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM). It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform) and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive and industrial power electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110AHE3/9AT datasheet, SMCJ110AHE3/9AT pinout, SMCJ110AHE3/9AT application, or SMCJ110AHE3/9AT equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to voltage transients induced by inductive load switching or lightning surges. Its unidirectional polarity features a cathode band marking and supports reverse-biased operation up to 110 V DC before breakdown.
The device meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow 260 °C), has matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and exhibits low incremental surge resistance - enabling effective clamping of high-current transients without thermal runaway under repetitive stress conditions.
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 1 mA test current - defines reliable breakdown threshold window |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 μs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak transient energy absorption capability under standardized waveform |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient, informs heatsinking requirements |
| ID @ VWM | 1.0 μA - ultra-low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, low-profile case with matte tin-plated leads; polarity indicated by cathode band on unidirectional devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| MSL Level 1 rating | Enables single-pass reflow without pre-baking, reducing manufacturing complexity |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.39) | Minimizes voltage overshoot during surge events, improving protection margin for 120 V-rated components |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV/2 Ω) surge immunity compliance in properly designed layouts |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs against load dump and alternator transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110AHE3/52T | Lower PPPM (600 W), SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 110 °C/W) | Suitable only for lower-energy transients; limited thermal margin in high-ambient environments | Select when board space is constrained and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2 |
| SMCJ110CAHE3/9AT | Bidirectional version; same VWM (110 V), symmetric clamping in both polarities | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal may occur | Choose for RS-232/RS-422 data lines or transformer-isolated interfaces needing bidirectional protection |
Compared with SMCJ110AHE3/9AT, SMBJ110AHE3/52T trades surge capacity for compactness, while SMCJ110CAHE3/9AT adds polarity symmetry at no cost to clamping performance - making the original optimal for high-energy unidirectional DC rail protection where AEC-Q101 validation and thermal robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ110AHE3/9AT at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCJ110AHE3/9AT has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to 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 standards and reflects the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring compatibility with 200 V-rated components in the protected path.
Is SMCJ110AHE3/9AT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMCJ110AHE3/9AT carries AEC-Q101 qualification, confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code suffix "HE3". This certification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and surge endurance - validating its suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What does the "9AT" suffix indicate in SMCJ110AHE3/9AT?
The "9AT" suffix denotes the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, with a base quantity of 3500 units per reel. This format supports high-volume automated SMT assembly and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. The "HE3" portion confirms RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification, distinguishing it from commercial-grade "E3" variants.
How does the thermal resistance of SMCJ110AHE3/9AT affect PCB layout?
With a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W, SMCJ110AHE3/9AT requires adequate copper pad area - specifically 0.31″ × 0.31″ (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) per terminal - to maintain safe junction temperatures during repetitive surges. Insufficient copper or lack of internal ground planes increases thermal impedance, risking derating of peak power capability and accelerated degradation over time.
Can SMCJ110AHE3/9AT be used in bidirectional signal protection?
No - SMCJ110AHE3/9AT is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. For bidirectional signal lines such as RS-485 or Ethernet PHY interfaces, the bidirectional variant SMCJ110CAHE3/9AT must be used instead, as it provides symmetrical clamping in both voltage polarities and lacks a cathode band marking.
