Product details
Overview
SMCJ110AHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 177 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power (PPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform. It protects MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor signal lines in automotive power systems and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110AHM3_A/H datasheet, SMCJ110AHM3_A/H pinout, SMCJ110AHM3_A/H application, or SMCJ110AHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 177 V), temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (+0.107 %/°C), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction per HM3 suffix.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with a cathode-band-marked polarity, leveraging glass-passivated junction technology for stable avalanche breakdown. Its 122–135 V breakdown voltage range (VBR at IT = 1 mA) ensures precise triggering above 110 V standoff while maintaining low leakage (<1.0 µA at VWM).
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 75 °C/W and RθJL = 15 °C/W, supporting operation up to +150 °C junction temperature. The device meets MSL level 1 (260 °C reflow peak) and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability.
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 - guaranteed avalanche onset range for reliable overvoltage detection |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V - clamped voltage during 177 A transient, limiting downstream stress |
| PPPM | 1500 W - peak surge energy handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform |
| ID @ VWM | <1.0 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad thermal requirement |
Pinout & Package
SMCJ110AHM3_A/H uses the SMC (DO-214AB) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, 0.305–0.320 inch length, 0.220–0.246 inch width, and cathode band marking on the anode-side end. Mounting requires 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pads per terminal per Vishay specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | High-impedance input node for transient sensing | Connects to protected line; avalanche conduction occurs from cathode to anode during overvoltage |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference/return path | Typically tied to ground or low-impedance return; completes clamping current path during surge events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant (HM3) | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Enables tighter clamping (VC/VBR ratio = 1.31) versus competing TVS devices |
| MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows standard SMT reflow without baking; peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of VBR and leakage across temperature and lifetime |
Applications
| Automotive Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V battery-fed ECUs from load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator overshoot.

Use Value: Maintains <1.0 µA leakage at 110 V, avoiding false triggering in precision analog feedback paths. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Shielding Ethernet PHYs and RS-485 transceivers from lightning-induced surges on outdoor cabling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on differential pairs, coordinated with secondary GDT or polymer PTC for staged protection.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional suppressor on single-ended analog or digital lines, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: 0.107 %/°C VBR tempco ensures consistent clamping across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient ranges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110AHE3/A | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package, same VWM and VBR range | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; limited to lower-energy ESD/lightning secondary protection | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy does not exceed 400 W |
| SMCJ110AHE3_A/H | Same electrical specs but commercial-grade (E3), non-AEC-Q101, non-halogen-free | Lacks automotive qualification and halogen-free compliance; acceptable for industrial/commercial use only | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 and HM3 are not required |
Compared with SMCJ110AHM3_A/H, SMAJ110AHE3/A offers footprint reduction at the expense of surge capacity, while SMCJ110AHE3_A/H provides identical protection performance without automotive qualification or halogen-free assurance-making the HM3 variant essential for Tier-1 automotive supply chains.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ110AHM3_A/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 177 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H maintains this clamping performance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMCJ110AHM3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMCJ110AHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code suffix "HM3" and documentation in datasheet 88394. This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD, validating suitability for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H meets all requirements for deployment in vehicles without additional qualification.
What does the "HM3" suffix indicate in SMCJ110AHM3_A/H?
The "HM3" suffix in SMCJ110AHM3_A/H denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this variant from commercial-grade E3/M3 versions and confirms compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, UL 94 V-0 flammability, and automotive reliability standards. The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H is therefore specified for high-reliability automotive and industrial deployments.
How does the thermal resistance of SMCJ110AHM3_A/H affect PCB layout?
The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W, which requires adherence to Vishay's recommended 0.31" × 0.31" (8.0 mm × 8.0 mm) copper pad layout per terminal to achieve rated power dissipation. Deviating from this layout increases thermal impedance, reducing safe operating area and potentially causing premature failure under repeated surges. The SMCJ110AHM3_A/H must be placed with adequate copper pour and no thermal relief on mounting pads.
Can SMCJ110AHM3_A/H be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, SMCJ110AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" (not "CA") suffix and cathode band marking. Bidirectional operation requires the CA variant (e.g., SMCJ110CA), which lacks polarity marking and conducts symmetrically. Using SMCJ110AHM3_A/H in bidirectional applications would result in forward conduction on one half-cycle, causing failure. Always match the SMCJ110AHM3_A/H polarity to system grounding topology.
