Product details
Overview
SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a bidirectional surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode in SMC (DO-214AB) package, designed for high-energy surge protection with 110 V standoff voltage, 1500 W peak pulse power rating, and clamping voltage of 177 V at 8.5 A peak pulse current. It protects sensitive ICs, MOSFETs, and sensor signal lines in automotive, industrial, and telecom systems against inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H datasheet, SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H pinout, SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H application, or SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and compatibility with automated SMT placement on standard PCB pad layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-clamping protector using an avalanche breakdown mechanism, responding within picoseconds to transient overvoltages. Its bidirectional symmetry ensures identical electrical characteristics in both polarities, eliminating polarity concerns in AC-coupled or differential signal paths.
Designed for mounting on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal, it delivers full 1500 W surge handling only under that thermal condition and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient per Fig. 2. The glass-passivated junction ensures stable breakdown voltage and low leakage (<1 μA at 110 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR min/max | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Verified breakdown threshold range ensuring reliable turn-on margin |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 8.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit's maximum stress level |
| PPPM | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capacity under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, critical for thermal design with 6.5 W steady-state dissipation limit |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature, supporting operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Leakage ID | ≤1.0 μA at 110 V - Low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMC (DO-214AB), surface-mount, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified. Matte tin-plated leads, J-STD-002 solderable. No polarity marking for bidirectional configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current entry (negative half-cycle) | One terminal of symmetrical avalanche junction; conducts during negative voltage excursions beyond VBR |
| Cathode | Transient current entry (positive half-cycle) | Other terminal of symmetrical avalanche junction; conducts during positive voltage excursions beyond VBR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Identical VBR, VC, and IPPM performance in both directions enables use on AC lines and differential buses without polarity constraints |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated reliability for automotive applications including engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power rails |
| Low incremental surge resistance | Minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients, improving protection margin for downstream 12 V or 24 V logic |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns or baking requirements |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of breakdown voltage and leakage current across temperature and lifetime stress conditions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ110CA | Lower PPPM (400 W), same VWM/VC, SMA package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Suitable for space-constrained consumer electronics where 400 W surge margin suffices | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is lower than automotive/industrial standards |
| SMCJ110AHE3_A/H | Unidirectional version, same VWM/VC/PPPM, RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free | Required where polarity is known and DC-biased circuits need asymmetric protection | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs without halogen-free or AEC-Q101 requirements |
Compared with SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H, SMAJ110CA offers reduced surge robustness in a smaller package, while SMCJ110AHE3_A/H provides unidirectional behavior with identical clamping but lacks halogen-free certification and automotive qualification.

FAQ
What does the 'CA' suffix indicate in SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H?
The 'CA' suffix in SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H denotes a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor. Unlike unidirectional variants (e.g., SMCJ110A), this device provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities, making it suitable for AC-coupled signals, differential buses, or any application where voltage transients may occur with either polarity. Electrical characteristics-including breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, and peak pulse current-are identical in both directions.
Is SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering code structure (HM3 suffix) and documentation. This qualification validates its reliability under automotive temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and lifetime stress conditions. It is intended for use in engine compartments, ADAS modules, and other automotive subsystems requiring certified surge protection components.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H layout?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H is 75 °C/W, measured on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal. To achieve full 1500 W surge rating, PCB layout must match this pad size; smaller pads increase thermal impedance and reduce safe surge handling. For continuous operation, the 6.5 W power dissipation limit requires careful thermal management in enclosed or high-ambient environments.
How does the halogen-free designation impact SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H compliance?
The 'HM3' suffix in SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H indicates halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction per IEC 61249-2-21. This eliminates brominated flame retardants and chlorine-based compounds from the molding compound, meeting stringent environmental regulations in the EU, China, and Japan. It does not affect electrical performance but ensures compliance in green electronics programs and public-sector procurement specifications.
Can SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H replace SMCJ110A in an existing design?
No-SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H cannot directly replace unidirectional SMCJ110A without circuit review. While both share identical VWM, VC, and PPPM, the bidirectional nature of SMCJ110CAHM3_A/H means it conducts during both positive and negative overvoltage events. In DC-biased circuits relying on unidirectional blocking, substitution could cause unintended conduction or increased leakage. Verify polarity requirements and system-level behavior before interchange.
