Product details
Overview
SMDJ110A from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS) designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power lines and signal interfaces. It features a 110 V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 17 A peak pulse current, and 3000 W peak pulse power dissipation on a 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in industrial motor drives to protect IGBT gate drivers from inductive switching transients.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ110A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 µs surges, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), unidirectional polarity with cathode band marking, DO-214AB package compatibility, and compliance with JEDEC mechanical standards and UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
Technical Context
The SMDJ110A operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for fast transient suppression. Its glass-passivated junction enables sub-1 ps response time from 0 V to breakdown, while its low-profile DO-214AB (SMC J-Bend) package supports surface-mount assembly with strain relief and matte tin lead-free plating.
It delivers 3000 W peak pulse power handling on standard 10/1000 µs waveforms when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads, with thermal resistance of 15 °C/W junction-to-lead and 75 °C/W junction-to-ambient - enabling reliable operation up to TJ = 150 °C in high-density power electronics layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins |
| VBR @ IT=1 mA | 122–135 V - Confirmed breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPPM=17 A | 177 V - Clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 µs surges |
| PPPM | 3000 W - Peak pulse power rating defines maximum transient energy absorption capability |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures |
| RθJA | 75 °C/W - Thermal resistance determines required PCB copper area for thermal management |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode band denotes polarity; not suitable for AC or bidirectional surge paths |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AB (SMC J-Bend) package: molded plastic case with J-bend leads, JEDEC-compliant outline, matte tin lead-free plating, and cathode band marking on the anode side for polarity identification.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC110A (Littelfuse) | Same DO-214AB package, identical VRWM (110 V), but lower PPPM (1500 W) and higher VC (187 V @ 16 A) | Lower surge energy handling; suitable only for lighter-duty 10/1000 µs transients | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for full 3000 W rating and tighter clamping |
| 1.5KE110A (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package, same electrical specs (VRWM = 110 V, VBR = 122–135 V), but RθJA = 100 °C/W and no MSL1 rating | Requires through-hole assembly and larger PCB footprint; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Choose only if legacy through-hole manufacturing infrastructure is fixed and thermal derating is acceptable |
Compared with SAC110A and 1.5KE110A, the SMDJ110A delivers superior surge robustness (3000 W vs. 1500 W or 1500 W), tighter thermal management (RθJA = 75 °C/W), and full SMT process compatibility (MSL1, 260 °C reflow), making it optimal for next-generation compact power electronics requiring high-reliability transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the SMDJ110A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMDJ110A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 17 A peak pulse current on a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per industry-standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events. The SMDJ110A maintains this clamping performance across its specified operating temperature range and is validated with 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad mounting per datasheet test setup.
Is the SMDJ110A suitable for bidirectional surge protection?
No, the SMDJ110A is a unidirectional TVS diode, identified by the "A" suffix and marked with a cathode band. For bidirectional operation, the SMDJ110CA variant must be used. The SMDJ110A conducts only in reverse bias above VBR and blocks forward current beyond its 300 A IFSM rating - it is not rated for symmetrical AC surge suppression.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMDJ110A, and how does it affect layout?
The SMDJ110A has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 75 °C/W when mounted on 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pads per terminal. This value directly impacts PCB copper area requirements: reducing pad size increases thermal impedance, risking junction overheating during repeated surges. The SMDJ110A also specifies RθJL = 15 °C/W, indicating efficient heat conduction to the leads when properly soldered.
Does the SMDJ110A meet lead-free and RoHS requirements?
Yes, the SMDJ110A is a certified AOS Green Product: lead-free, RoHS compliant, and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its matte tin lead finish meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL1 classification, supporting standard SMT reflow profiles with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C - no pre-baking is required prior to assembly. The SMDJ110A complies with AOS' published green policy and export control regulations.
How does the SMDJ110A compare to standard 1.5KE series TVS diodes?
The SMDJ110A offers identical electrical ratings (VRWM = 110 V, VBR = 122–135 V) but differs critically in package and thermal performance: it uses surface-mount DO-214AB versus through-hole DO-201, achieves RθJA = 75 °C/W (vs. ~100 °C/W for 1.5KE110A), and is MSL1-rated for modern SMT lines. The SMDJ110A thus enables higher-density layouts and better thermal reliability than 1.5KE110A in automated production environments.
