Product details
Overview
1PMT5944AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 62 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 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.0 mA test current and <1 µA reverse leakage at 47.1 V, used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, designed for stable DC voltage clamping and regulation in high-reliability power circuits. Its full metallic bottom eliminates solder flux entrapment, and integral locking tab enhances thermal conduction to the PCB.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction/storage range) and maintains low reverse leakage (<1 µA at VR = 47.1 V) while delivering 3.0 W power handling in a miniature molded DO-216 surface-mount package weighing only 0.016 g.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA, TC = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at IZT = 6.0 mA - indicates small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under varying load |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - characterizes low-current regulation onset behavior near breakdown threshold |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 47.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-clamp applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB heat sinking via metal tab |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing without additional protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF62A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 62 V nominal, but 1.0 W rating and SOD-123 package; higher ZZT = 150 Ω at 5 mA | Limited to lower-power clamping; unsuitable for sustained 3.0 W dissipation | Select 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 where thermal design requires >1.5 W continuous dissipation or PCB-level heat sinking via metal tab |
| BZX84-C62 (Diodes Inc.) | 62 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, ZZT = 110 Ω at 5 mA, no integral heat sink tab | Only viable for signal-level clamping; cannot replace in power-regulation roles | Choose 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 when application demands >500 mW steady-state power handling and direct thermal coupling to PCB |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 62 V, measured at IZT = 6.0 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal conduction path, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. The full metallic bottom prevents flux entrapment, and the locking tab mechanically anchors the device while enhancing heat transfer to the PCB copper pour. Effective thermal design requires soldering TAB 1 to ≥1 cm² of 1 oz copper with at least two thermal vias.
Can 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 is qualified for automotive use with junction/storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. It meets AEC-Q101 stress-test requirements for Zener diodes when operated within its 3.0 W power limit and thermal boundary conditions. Its robust DO-216 construction supports vibration resistance and long-term reliability in engine bay and ECU environments.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944AE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 is <1 µA at VR = 47.1 V, specified at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in voltage-reference and overvoltage-protection circuits, preserving system efficiency in battery-powered or low-power standby modes where the 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 may be deployed.
Is 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5944AE3/TR7 is fully compatible with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant lead-free reflow profiles. Its molded Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 20–40 seconds. The full metallic bottom and locking tab ensure mechanical stability during thermal cycling, and the device is supplied in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel, 3,000 pieces) for seamless pick-and-place integration.
