Product details
Overview
SMCJ110AHM3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 110 V standoff voltage (VWM), 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 1500 W peak pulse power dissipation (10/1000 µs waveform), making it suitable for automotive power supply rail protection against load dump and ISO 7637-2 transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110AHM3/H datasheet, SMCJ110AHM3/H pinout, SMCJ110AHM3/H application, or SMCJ110AHM3/H equivalent, this device is selected for high-energy transient suppression where low clamping ratio, AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and stable thermal performance up to +150 °C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
The SMCJ110AHM3/H operates as a silicon avalanche diode with glass-passivated junction, delivering fast response (<1 ns) to ESD and surge events. Its unidirectional polarity enables cathode-grounded configuration on positive rails, with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 122–135 V (IT = 1 mA), ensuring precise triggering above nominal system voltage.
Thermally, it exhibits RθJA = 75 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 15 °C/W (typ.), supporting reliable operation under pulsed stress when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal. The HM3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets upper limit for protected circuit's normal DC rail. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V - Clamped voltage during 8.5 A 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; determines survivability against high-energy transients like ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| IPPM | 8.5 A - Peak pulse current corresponding to VC; used with PCB trace impedance to estimate let-through energy. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| Package | SMC (DO-214AB) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 7.75 mm × 6.22 mm footprint and 2.62 mm height; supports automated placement and reflow. |
| Leakage @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Reverse leakage at 110 V; ensures minimal quiescent power loss in always-on systems. |
Pinout & Package
SMCJ110AHM3/H uses the standard SMC (DO-214AB) package: two-terminal, surface-mount, cathode-indicated by a band on the body. Leads are matte tin-plated, solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, with MSL level 1 rating (peak reflow 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input/Line side | Connected to protected line (e.g., battery feed); conducts during forward surge only in unidirectional mode. |
| Cathode | Ground reference | Connected to system ground; avalanche conduction occurs between cathode and anode when VAK exceeds VBR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS-compliant | HM3 suffix confirms full compliance with environmental regulations and end-of-life recycling mandates. |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Enables tight clamping (VC/VBR ≈ 1.40) and minimizes let-through energy during fast transients. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Supports protection against severe load-dump events (e.g., 12 V system with 100 V overshoot, 100 ms duration). |
| Fast response time < 1 ns | Clamps before sensitive logic or analog components experience damaging overvoltage stress. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial DC Power Input |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized TVS at connector entry point, with cathode tied to local sensor ground plane. Use Value: Sub-1 ns response prevents >110 V transients from propagating into precision ADC front-ends or LIN transceivers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110AHE3/A | Lower PPPM (400 W), smaller SMA package (DO-214AC), same VWM/VC specs but reduced surge margin. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer or industrial boards where 1500 W rating is not required. | Select when board area is critical and surge threat level is moderate (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3). |
| SMCJ110A-M3/57T | Same electrical specs and SMC package, but M3 suffix indicates halogen-free RoHS compliance without AEC-Q101 qualification. | Applicable in commercial/industrial designs lacking automotive qualification requirements. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications needing identical surge performance and footprint. |
Compared with SMCJ110AHM3/H, SMAJ110AHE3/A offers smaller size but lower energy handling, while SMCJ110A-M3/57T matches mechanical and electrical performance but lacks automotive qualification-making SMCJ110AHM3/H the sole choice when AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the SMCJ110AHM3/H?
The SMCJ110AHM3/H has a guaranteed breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 122 V to 135 V at test current IT = 1 mA, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This ensures reliable triggering above the 110 V standoff voltage while accommodating process variation-critical for predictable protection behavior in automotive power rails where SMCJ110AHM3/H is commonly deployed.
Is the SMCJ110AHM3/H suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the SMCJ110AHM3/H is a unidirectional TVS diode, indicated by the "A" suffix and cathode band marking. For bidirectional operation, Vishay offers the SMCJ110CA variant. Using SMCJ110AHM3/H in bidirectional circuits risks failure during negative-going transients, as it conducts only in reverse avalanche mode-not in forward conduction like a bidirectional device.
Does the SMCJ110AHM3/H meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the HM3 suffix explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, verified per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and ESD. This makes SMCJ110AHM3/H suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive applications such as body control modules and ADAS power supplies where SMCJ110AHM3/H must withstand temperature cycling and vibration without parametric shift.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMCJ110AHM3/H and how does it affect layout?
The SMCJ110AHM3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on minimum recommended pad layout (0.31″ × 0.31″ copper pads). To maintain safe junction temperatures during repeated surges, designers must provide adequate copper area and avoid thermal isolation-especially important in automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C and SMCJ110AHM3/H may experience multiple transient events.
How does the clamping voltage of SMCJ110AHM3/H compare to its standoff voltage?
The SMCJ110AHM3/H clamps at 177 V (VC) during an 8.5 A 10/1000 µs surge, resulting in a clamping ratio (VC/VWM) of 1.61. This ratio reflects low incremental resistance and efficient energy absorption-key for protecting 12 V or 24 V systems where downstream components have absolute maximum ratings near 200 V. The ratio remains stable across temperature due to the device's 0.107 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient.
