Product details
Overview
SMCJ110AHE3_A/I 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), 177 V clamping voltage (VC) at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM). It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power systems and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110AHE3_A/I datasheet, SMCJ110AHE3_A/I pinout, SMCJ110AHE3_A/I application, or SMCJ110AHE3_A/I 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 operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 122–135 V breakdown range (VBR) at 1 mA test current. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM) and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges before downstream components are damaged.
Designed for surface-mount use on PCBs with minimum pad layout per JEDEC DO-214AB, it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power handling with low incremental surge resistance and meets MSL level 1 (260 °C reflow peak). The HE3 suffix confirms RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off Voltage) | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin for 12 V–48 V bus systems. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 122–135 V at 1 mA - Avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events without premature conduction. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 177 V at IPPM = 8.5 A - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM (Peak Pulse Power) | 1500 W - Energy-handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity. |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads; enables thermal design for sustained 6.5 W power dissipation at TA = 50 °C. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode marked with band; blocks forward current above ~3.5 V (VF at 100 A), conducts only in reverse avalanche mode. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified (HE3 suffix). Dimensions: 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm × 2.62 mm (L × W × H); cathode identified by molded band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or return path); carries surge current during reverse clamping. |
| Cathode | Avalanche clamping terminal | Marked with band; connected to protected line (e.g., 110 V rail); initiates avalanche breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures stable VBR tolerance and low leakage (<1.0 µA) across temperature and lifetime, critical for long-term reliability in automotive ECUs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensor interfaces per stress test requirements. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients, improving clamping precision for sensitive 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| MSL level 1 rating | Supports standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak without moisture-related damage during assembly. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment and telecom infrastructure ports. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110A-E3/57T | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 110 °C/W), same VWM/VBR/VC ratings. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer designs with lower surge threat levels; not rated for AEC-Q101. | Select when board area is limited and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| SMCJ110CAHE3_A/I | Bidirectional variant (symmetrical clamping), identical VWM/VBR/VC/PPPM, same AEC-Q101 qualification and package. | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal occurs (e.g., RS-485, CAN FD data lines). | Choose for bidirectional protection needs; otherwise SMCJ110AHE3_A/I offers optimized unidirectional performance. |
Compared with SMAJ110A-E3/57T, SMCJ110AHE3_A/I delivers 3.75× higher surge power handling and automotive qualification; versus SMCJ110CAHE3_A/I, it provides superior clamping efficiency for DC-biased rails due to absence of reverse conduction path.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ110AHE3_A/I at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCJ110AHE3_A/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at its specified peak pulse current (IPPM) of 8.5 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured with the device mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per the datasheet's thermal test condition, ensuring realistic system-level protection performance for SMCJ110AHE3_A/I in high-surge applications.
Is SMCJ110AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMCJ110AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3" suffix in its ordering code and explicit notation in Vishay's datasheet revision 09-Jan-2024. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD, making SMCJ110AHE3_A/I suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What does the "_A/I" suffix mean in SMCJ110AHE3_A/I?
The "_A/I" suffix in SMCJ110AHE3_A/I indicates packaging and reel configuration: "A" denotes the revision code (document revision A), and "I" specifies 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery containing 3500 units. This matches Vishay's ordering information table, where SMCJ110AHE3_A/I is explicitly listed with unit weight 0.211 g and delivery mode "13\" diameter plastic tape and reel" - confirming full traceability and standard SMT handling for SMCJ110AHE3_A/I.
How does the thermal resistance of SMCJ110AHE3_A/I affect its power handling?
SMCJ110AHE3_A/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on the recommended 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads. At ambient temperature of 50 °C, this allows continuous power dissipation up to 6.5 W - sufficient for managing residual leakage and repetitive low-energy transients without exceeding the +150 °C maximum junction temperature, thereby sustaining long-term reliability of SMCJ110AHE3_A/I in thermally constrained layouts.
Can SMCJ110AHE3_A/I be used in bidirectional signal lines like RS-485?
No, SMCJ110AHE3_A/I is unidirectional and unsuitable for bidirectional signal lines such as RS-485 or CAN, where voltage polarity reverses during normal operation. For those applications, the bidirectional variant SMCJ110CAHE3_A/I - with symmetrical clamping in both directions and identical electrical ratings - must be used instead. Using SMCJ110AHE3_A/I on bidirectional lines would result in forward conduction and potential damage during negative half-cycles, compromising protection integrity for SMCJ110AHE3_A/I.
