Product details
Overview
SMDJ110CA from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a bi-directional transient voltage suppressor diode designed for high-energy surge protection in DC power rails and signal lines. It features a 110 V reverse stand-off 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 10/1000 µs waveform - enabling robust ESD and lightning surge suppression in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMDJ110CA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping capability, DO-214AB package compatibility with high-current PCB layouts, thermal resistance (RθJA = 75 °C/W), low leakage (<2 µA @ 110 V), and MSL1 moisture sensitivity rating for lead-free reflow.
Technical Context
The SMDJ110CA operates as a silicon avalanche diode optimized for unidirectional or bidirectional transient suppression. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable VBR tolerance (±5% typical), while its low-profile DO-214AB package supports surface-mount assembly with strain relief and matte tin lead-free plating compliant with J-STD-020 MSL1 (260 °C peak).
It delivers fast response time (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR), 0.01% duty cycle repetition rate, and thermal performance validated under 8.0 mm × 8.0 mm copper pad mounting per JEDEC standards - making it suitable for high-reliability surge protection where clamping voltage margin and junction temperature control (TJ max = 150 °C) are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAC110CA (Littelfuse) | Same DO-214AB package, 110 V VRWM, but 2500 W PPPM rating and higher VC (185 V @ 15.5 A) | Lower power handling reduces margin in high-energy surge environments like substations | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for full 3000 W headroom |
| 1.5KE110CA (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-201 package, identical electrical specs but incompatible mounting and thermal profile | Not suitable for automated SMT production; requires manual assembly and larger board area | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |
Compared with SAC110CA and 1.5KE110CA, the SMDJ110CA offers superior surge power handling in an SMT-optimized package with lower clamping voltage and MSL1 reflow compliance - making it the preferred choice for new industrial and telecom designs requiring automated assembly and high reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SMDJ110CA under standard surge conditions?
The SMDJ110CA has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at its rated peak pulse current of 17 A. This value is measured per JEDEC test standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The SMDJ110CA maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the SMDJ110CA suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, the SMDJ110CA is explicitly designed for bidirectional transient suppression, as indicated by the "CA" suffix and confirmed in the datasheet's "Devices for Bipolar Application" section. Its symmetrical terminal structure and identical electrical characteristics in both directions allow it to protect AC-coupled or polarity-agnostic interfaces - such as RS-485 buses or Ethernet PHY lines - without requiring external polarity management. The SMDJ110CA achieves this while maintaining <2 µA reverse leakage at 110 V.
What is the thermal resistance of the SMDJ110CA, and how does it affect layout design?
The SMDJ110CA 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 JEDEC standards. This value directly informs PCB copper area requirements: reducing thermal resistance demands larger or multiple thermal pads, internal planes, or thermal vias. For continuous high-duty-cycle surge events, designers must ensure the SMDJ110CA's junction temperature stays below 150 °C - meaning ambient + (power dissipation × RθJA) must remain within limit. The SMDJ110CA's RθJL of 15 °C/W further supports efficient heat transfer to leads.
Does the SMDJ110CA meet lead-free reflow requirements for automated assembly?
Yes, the SMDJ110CA is rated MSL1 per J-STD-020 and qualified for lead-free reflow with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its matte tin lead-free plating and DO-214AB package construction eliminate the need for pre-baking, supporting high-yield, high-throughput SMT processes. The SMDJ110CA also complies with RoHS and AOS Green Policy (halogen-free), making it suitable for global industrial and telecom manufacturing without process deviation or compliance risk.
How does the SMDJ110CA compare to unidirectional variants like SMDJ110A in terms of circuit implementation?
The SMDJ110CA differs from the unidirectional SMDJ110A solely in polarity configuration: the CA version uses symmetrical terminals for bidirectional clamping, while the A version includes a cathode band and must be oriented correctly for single-direction protection. Both share identical VRWM (110 V), VBR (122–135 V), VC (177 V), and PPPM (3000 W). Circuit implementation of the SMDJ110CA eliminates orientation checks during placement and simplifies layout for AC or floating-rail applications - a key advantage in space-constrained or high-density designs where the SMDJ110CA replaces two unidirectional devices.
