Product details
Overview
1PMT5944A/TR13 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 1500 µA max reverse leakage at 47.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944A/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5944A/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5944A/TR13 application, or 1PMT5944A/TR13 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 placement equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 62 V at 6.0 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting 100 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 1500 µA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 47.1 V (VR). Its thermal resistance is specified as 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1, enabling effective heat transfer via the metallic bottom and integral locking tab.
The device uses a DO-216 molded package with cathode designated by TAB 1, supports mounting in any orientation, and meets EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging standards (13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces). Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, and forward voltage is 1.2 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944A/TR13?
The 1PMT5944A/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 62 V, measured at 6.0 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available as suffix C and D variants, but the base 1PMT5944A/TR13 uses the ±5% grade per MSC0995 Rev F specification.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5944A/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5944A/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper thermal pad on the PCB to achieve the rated 3.0 W power dissipation at 60°C tab temperature.
Is 1PMT5944A/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5944A/TR13 is fully compatible with automated SMT assembly. It is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 units), features a DO-216 footprint optimized for pick-and-place, and its locking tab design prevents rotation or misalignment during placement and reflow.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944A/TR13?
The 1PMT5944A/TR13 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1500 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 47.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MSC0995 datasheet and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown conditions.
Does 1PMT5944A/TR13 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5944A/TR13 is rated for >16 kV electrostatic discharge per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the FEATURES section of the MSC0995 datasheet. This high ESD rating supports robust handling during manufacturing and improves field reliability in unshielded electronic systems.
