Product details
Overview
SMCJ110AHE3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SMC (DO-214AB) package, featuring 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA), and 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs). It clamps transients to ≤177 V at 8.5 A peak surge current and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C, designed for automotive-grade ESD and surge protection on power rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H datasheet, SMCJ110AHE3_A/H pinout, SMCJ110AHE3_A/H application, or SMCJ110AHE3_A/H equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability overvoltage protection where AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping voltage, and 1500 W surge capability are required - especially in automotive power modules, industrial sensor interfaces, and DC bus protection circuits.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated silicon junction optimized for fast response (<1 ps) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective suppression of inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced transients. Its unidirectional polarity (cathode-banded) supports DC-biased rail protection with minimal leakage (≤1.0 μA at VWM) and stable thermal performance (RθJA = 75 °C/W).
The SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is rated for 200 A non-repetitive forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine) and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow compatibility. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for automotive under-hood and powertrain applications requiring extended temperature operation and long-term reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets safe DC bias margin for 12 V–48 V systems. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on across production lot and temperature. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - Clamping voltage defines worst-case voltage seen by protected IC during 1500 W transient event. |
| PPPM | 1500 W (10/1000 μs) - Peak surge power rating determines survivability against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2/5a and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IFSM | 200 A (8.3 ms) - Forward surge rating supports robustness against battery reverse-connection or load dump events. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Junction temperature limit enables use in engine control units and power inverters without derating. |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - Standardized 2-pin surface-mount outline with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad thermal design support. |
Pinout & Package
SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is housed in an SMC (DO-214AB) package: a rectangular, low-profile, surface-mount case with matte tin-plated leads, compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 22-B102 whisker testing. Polarity is indicated by a cathode band on the unidirectional device.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal under forward bias | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); enables conduction during positive transients on cathode side. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal under forward bias; marked with band | Connected to protected line (e.g., 110 V rail); clamps voltage when transient exceeds VBR by shunting current to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including powertrain, body control, and ADAS modules per stress test requirements. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling (JEDEC JESD22-A101). |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C) | Enables standard lead-free reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.35) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream MOSFETs or controllers during surge events. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Supports compliance with ISO 16750-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 for harsh automotive and industrial environments. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ110A | Same VWM (110 V), but lower PPPM (400 W) and higher VC (193 V); SMC package not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer or office equipment; unsuitable for automotive or industrial surge immunity certification. | Select only if cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs require basic 110 V clamping with reduced surge margin. |
| ON Semiconductor 1.5SMC110A | Identical VWM, VBR, and PPPM, but rated only to +125 °C TJ max and lacks AEC-Q101 documentation. | Not validated for under-hood automotive use; requires additional qualification testing for automotive OEM programs. | Acceptable for industrial controls where ambient temperature stays below 105 °C and AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with Littelfuse SMAJ110A and ON Semi 1.5SMC110A, the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H delivers higher surge robustness (1500 W vs. 400 W or same 1500 W without AEC-Q101), tighter clamping (177 V vs. 193 V), and certified automotive reliability - making it the preferred choice for safety-critical 110 V rail protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCJ110AHE3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.5 A, measured using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a full-power transient event and is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024, page 2. The SMCJ110AHE3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its operating temperature range.
Is the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H AEC-Q101 qualified, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as noted in the Vishay datasheet footnote (1) on page 3 and ordering information table. This qualification validates its reliability under automotive stress conditions including temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and accelerated life testing. For automotive applications, the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H can be deployed in powertrain, chassis, and body electronics without additional component-level qualification, supporting compliance with ISO/TS 16949 and OEM part approval processes.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) and why is it critical for selecting the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H?
The standoff voltage (VWM) of the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is 110 V - the maximum DC or continuous reverse voltage the device can withstand without entering breakdown. This parameter must exceed the normal operating voltage of the protected line by at least 10–20 % to prevent leakage or premature conduction. For example, the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is correctly applied on 90–100 V nominal DC rails (e.g., 48 V systems with boost stages or 110 V telecom feeds), ensuring stable operation during steady-state while remaining ready to clamp transients above 122 V.
Does the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H have polarity marking, and how is it oriented in circuit layout?
Yes, the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H is unidirectional and features a visible cathode band on the SMC (DO-214AB) package body. In circuit layout, the banded end connects to the line being protected (e.g., 110 V rail), while the unbanded end connects to ground or the lower-potential reference. This orientation ensures the device remains reverse-biased during normal operation and conducts only during positive overvoltage events, protecting downstream components from excessive voltage stress.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H?
The SMCJ110AHE3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as defined in the Vishay datasheet. To maintain safe junction temperatures under sustained power dissipation or repeated surges, PCB layout must replicate this pad area and ensure adequate copper pour connectivity. Reducing pad size increases RθJA, risking thermal runaway during high-duty-cycle transients - a key design consideration for the SMCJ110AHE3_A/H in high-reliability applications.
