Product details
Overview
1PMT5929B/TR7 from Microsemi is a 15 V, ±5% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 9.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current and 600 µA max reverse leakage at 11.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5929B/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5929B/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5929B/TR7 application, or 1PMT5929B/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom (TAB 1) as both cathode terminal and thermal path, enabling 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance and eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (ZZK = 0.25 Ω) and tight dynamic impedance control (ZZT = 9.0 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA), supporting stable regulation across current deviations. Reverse leakage remains ≤600 µA at VR = 11.4 V, ensuring minimal quiescent power loss in standby circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15 V ±5% at IZT = 25 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator or reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-power clamping without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 9.0 Ω @ 25 mA - ensures <135 mV output variation per 15 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤600 µA @ VR = 11.4 V - minimizes standby current in battery-powered systems |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or metal chassis |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor 1N5929B | Same 15 V/3.0 W rating but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly or manual repair is required |
| Vishay MMBZ5245B | 15 V/500 mW in SOT-23; 10× lower power rating; 25 Ω dynamic impedance | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1PMT5929B/TR7 in power rail protection | Choose only for space-constrained signal-path references where 3.0 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5929B and MMBZ5245B, the 1PMT5929B/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W dissipation, and DO-216 mechanical robustness-making it the only viable choice for automated, high-reliability power-rail clamping in automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5929B/TR7?
The 1PMT5929B/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 15 V nominal, measured at 25 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available as custom order options. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and reference applications.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5929B/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5929B/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as both cathode terminal and primary thermal path, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. To realize the full 3.0 W rating, TAB 1 must be soldered to ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper pour. Without adequate copper area, power derating is required per the thermal curve in MSC0995.PDF.
Is the 1PMT5929B/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5929B/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its molded Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The full metallic bottom also prevents voiding and improves wetting reliability during Pb-free soldering, unlike plastic-bodied alternatives.
What does the "/TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5929B/TR7?
The "/TR7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and ensures consistent orientation (cathode TAB 1 facing designated direction) and static-safe handling. It does not affect electrical specifications.
Can the 1PMT5929B/TR7 be used in bidirectional ESD protection?
No, the 1PMT5929B/TR7 is a unidirectional Zener diode configured for reverse-bias operation only. Its circuit symbol and mechanical marking (cathode on TAB 1) confirm polarity-specific use. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dedicated TVS array such as Microchip's USBLC6-2SC6 would be required instead of 1PMT5929B/TR7.
