Product details
Overview
SMCJ110CAH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a bidirectional 1500W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-214AB (SMC) package, with 110V working stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–135V breakdown voltage (VBR), and 177V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 8.9A peak impulse current. It protects automotive and industrial power rails against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/2b/3a/3b transients and ESD.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110CAH datasheet, SMCJ110CAH pinout, SMCJ110CAH application, or SMCJ110CAH equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and bidirectional clamping behavior critical for robust overvoltage protection design in 12V/24V/48V systems.
Technical Context
The SMCJ110CAH uses a glass-passivated junction to achieve fast response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR min) and low leakage (<1 µA at 110 V). Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical clamping in AC-coupled or floating signal lines without polarity constraints.
Rated for 150°C junction temperature and compliant with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, it supports automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. Thermal performance includes RθJA = 55°C/W and RθJC = 10°C/W, enabling reliable operation under sustained surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping initiates; defines safe standoff for 12V/24V/48V bus monitoring. |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold range ensures predictable turn-on during transients. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V @ 8.9 A - Clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream voltage stress to ≤177 V. |
| PPK | 1500 W - Peak pulse power rating per 1 ms waveform; supports high-energy load-dump and lightning-induced surges. |
| IR @ VWM | <1 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Enables deployment in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Package | DO-214AB (SMC) - Standardized surface-mount outline with 7.11 mm x 6.22 mm footprint and 2.3 mm height for high-power density PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band (not applicable for bidirectional SMCJ110CAH); weight ≈ 0.210 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 | Lower PPK (600 W), same VWM/VBR/VC, SMB package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 85°C/W) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 or high-current load dump. | Select SMBJ110CA only when space-constrained layouts and reduced surge severity allow lower power rating. |
| 1.5KE110CA | Through-hole TO-218 package, same 1500 W rating but slower response (>1 ns), higher IR (5 µA @ 110 V) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; incompatible with automated SMT assembly; less suitable for automotive production. | Choose 1.5KE110CA only for legacy through-hole designs where rework tolerance and manual assembly are acceptable. |
Compared with SMBJ110CA and 1.5KE110CA, the SMCJ110CAH provides optimal balance of high surge capability (1500 W), AEC-Q101 qualification, SMT compatibility, and ultra-low leakage-making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial designs requiring DO-214AB packaging.

FAQ
What does the 'CAH' suffix indicate in SMCJ110CAH?
The 'CAH' suffix denotes a bidirectional configuration with AEC-Q101 qualification and halogen-free construction. Unlike unidirectional 'H' variants, SMCJ110CAH provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities-critical for protecting AC-coupled signals or floating grounds. This distinguishes it from SMCJ110H (unidirectional) and confirms its suitability for automotive and industrial applications demanding full-spectrum transient immunity.
Is SMCJ110CAH compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SMCJ110CAH supports standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its DO-214AB package has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, meaning unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH and no pre-bake required. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, ensuring reliable wetting and joint formation during peak temperatures up to 260°C.
How does SMCJ110CAH perform under repeated surge stress?
SMCJ110CAH is rated for non-repetitive 1 ms pulses per Fig.5 in the datasheet. While not specified for repetitive surges, its 150°C maximum junction temperature and 10°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enable limited repetition if adequate PCB copper area and airflow mitigate cumulative heating. For repetitive threat models, derating per Fig.2 is mandatory-and system-level testing is recommended to validate endurance.
Does SMCJ110CAH meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 requirements?
Yes, SMCJ110CAH is explicitly validated to meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump) requirements. With a 177 V clamping voltage at 8.9 A and 1500 W peak power rating, it limits voltage overshoot below the 180 V threshold defined for 24V automotive systems-ensuring protection of downstream components such as CAN transceivers and power management ICs during alternator disconnection events.
What is the significance of the 1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 110 V for SMCJ110CAH?
The ≤1 µA reverse leakage at VWM = 110 V ensures minimal parasitic loading on protected circuits-especially critical in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-backed systems. This low leakage preserves signal fidelity in analog front-ends and avoids unnecessary power drain in always-on automotive modules, directly supporting design goals for low-quiescent-current and precision measurement applications using SMCJ110CAH.
