Product details
Overview
1PMT5944A/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 1500 µA max reverse leakage at 47.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944A/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944A/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944A/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944A/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp Zener breakdown at nominal 62 V. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow soldering.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with IZT = 6.0 mA; Zener voltage drift with temperature is managed via specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance (30°C/W) and operating junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C).
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage | 62 V ±5% - stable regulation point for mid-range DC voltage references |
| Test Current | 6.0 mA - standardized bias condition for VZ measurement and impedance characterization |
| Dynamic Impedance | 100 Ω - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 1500 µA at 47.1 V - defines minimum clamping threshold before full Zener conduction |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsinking |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - supports thermal design with direct PCB copper pour attachment to TAB 1 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 62 V nominal, but DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W); no metallic bottom or locking tab | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated insertion | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly is mandated and thermal derating to ≤1.5 W is acceptable |
| BZX84-C62 | 62 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; rated 300 mW; 10x lower power handling; 250 Ω typical ZZT | Limited to low-power signal-level referencing; cannot sustain 3.0 W clamping pulses | Choose only for space-constrained logic-level biasing where 3.0 W capability is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944A/TR7?
The 1PMT5944A/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 base 1PMT5944A/TR7 uses the ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback loops and voltage monitor thresholds.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5944A/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5944A/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab acting as the primary thermal path. Its specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, meaning effective cooling requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a thermally robust PCB copper pour. This design eliminates flux entrapment and enables reliable 3.0 W operation without external heatsinks.
Is the 1PMT5944A/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5944A/TR7 is fully compatible with automated surface-mount assembly. It ships in EIA-481 standard tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7″ reel), features a mold compound optimized for reflow profiles, and includes a locking tab that enhances placement stability. Its DO-216 outline and cathode-marked TAB 1 ensure consistent orientation during pick-and-place operations.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944A/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944A/TR7 is 1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This value defines the onset of significant conduction prior to full Zener breakdown and is critical for low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must remain minimal. Leakage increases with temperature and applied voltage, per the device's V-I curve.
Does the 1PMT5944A/TR7 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5944A/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD test standard. This high immunity level is achieved through internal process design and packaging, making it suitable for use in environments prone to electrostatic discharge-such as automated manufacturing, field-deployed industrial equipment, and telecom line cards-without requiring additional external protection.
