Product details
Overview
SMCJ110C from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 1500W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with 110V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–149V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 196V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8A peak impulse current - designed for automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b protection in power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110C datasheet, SMCJ110C pinout, SMCJ110C application, or SMCJ110C equivalent, this device delivers verified clamping performance under high-energy transients, supports automated placement, meets J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and provides bidirectional ESD/transient immunity without polarity constraints.
Technical Context
The SMCJ110C uses a glass-passivated silicon junction to achieve sub-1.0ps response time from 0 V to VBR min, enabling effective suppression of fast-rising transients such as EFT and inductive switching spikes. Its bidirectional configuration ensures symmetrical clamping in both polarities, eliminating need for orientation during PCB assembly.
Thermal design is supported by RθJA = 55°C/W and RθJC = 10°C/W, allowing reliable operation up to TJ = +150°C. The device sustains 1500W peak pulse power (tp = 1 ms) while maintaining IR < 1 µA at VWM = 110V, ensuring minimal leakage in standby 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 / 149 V @ IT = 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range for reliable turn-on margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 196 V @ 8 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| PPK | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling per single 1 ms transient per Fig.5 waveform |
| IR @ VWM | < 1 µA - Negligible leakage current at rated stand-off, preserving system efficiency |
| Package | DO-214AB (SMC) - Surface-mount outline with 0.210 g mass and UL 94V-0 molding compound |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110CA (Bourns) | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package; 1500W rating; VC = 196 V @ 8 A; slightly higher RθJA (65°C/W) | Lower power density due to smaller SMB footprint; requires larger copper area for thermal management | Select when board space is constrained but thermal budget allows reduced heatsinking |
| 1.5KE110CA (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-15 package; same 110 V VWM and bidirectional function; VC = 196 V @ 7.7 A; lower surge repetition tolerance | Not suitable for automated SMT lines; limited to prototyping or legacy through-hole designs | Choose only for manual assembly or where existing DO-15 footprint must be retained |
Compared with SMBJ110CA and 1.5KE110CA, the SMCJ110C offers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 10°C/W), full SMT compatibility, and identical clamping behavior - making it optimal for high-volume automotive and industrial power rail protection where reliability and manufacturability are critical.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of SMCJ110C under a standard 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMCJ110C exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 196 V when subjected to an 8 A peak impulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Fig.5 in the official datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is SMCJ110C unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect PCB layout?
SMCJ110C is a bidirectional TVS diode (denoted by the "C" suffix), meaning it clamps symmetrically in both polarities. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMCJ110A), it has no cathode band and requires no orientation during placement - simplifying SMT assembly and eliminating risk of reverse installation on PCBs.
Does SMCJ110C meet automotive transient immunity standards?
Yes, the SMCJ110C is explicitly rated to meet ISO 7637-2 for Pulses 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b - covering key automotive threats including load dump, battery disconnection, and inductive switching transients. This makes it suitable for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of SMCJ110C?
The SMCJ110C has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and thermal resistances of RθJA = 55°C/W and RθJC = 10°C/W. These values enable reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings when mounted on adequate copper pour per the recommended pad layout.
How does SMCJ110C compare to SMCJ110A in terms of electrical performance?
The SMCJ110C (bidirectional) and SMCJ110A (unidirectional) share identical VWM (110 V), VBR (122–149 V), and VC (196 V @ 8 A), but differ in polarity behavior: SMCJ110A conducts only in reverse bias and requires correct cathode orientation, while SMCJ110C clamps equally in both directions - offering layout flexibility at no performance trade-off.
