Product details
Overview
1PMT5944BE3/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 of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944BE3/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 breakdown characteristics, designed for stable DC voltage reference or transient suppression where precise clamping at 62 V is required. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow.
The 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 62 V measured at 6.0 mA (IZT), with 100 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 1500 µA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 47.1 V (VR). Junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - determines maximum continuous power handling under thermal constraint |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at IZT - indicates voltage stability under small-signal current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V - sets minimum off-state current in clamping applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - quantifies thermal path efficiency for heatsinking via TAB 1 |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - specifies lowest current at which regulation begins to stabilize |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ64A | TVS diode with 64 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, unidirectional; higher clamping voltage (70.1 V min) | Designed for transient surge suppression, not precision DC regulation | Select when protecting against ISO 7637-2 load dump, not for stable reference use |
| 1N5388B | Through-hole 62 V Zener in DO-15 package; 5 W rating but no integrated heat sink tab; thermal resistance ~50°C/W | Lacks surface-mount compatibility and optimized thermal path for high-density PCBs | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where rework or thermal constraints permit larger footprint |
Compared with SMCJ64A and 1N5388B, the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT manufacturability, 30°C/W thermal resistance via TAB 1, and tight 62 V regulation-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding DC reference or clamping roles where both precision and power handling matter.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 62 V, measured at 6.0 mA test current 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 uses the standard ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts voltage reference accuracy in feedback loops and clamping thresholds.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal interface. Its junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, meaning 3.0 W dissipation raises junction temperature by 90°C above TAB temperature. Effective thermal design requires soldering TAB 1 to a ≥1 cm² copper pour to maintain junction ≤150°C under full load.
Is the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its molded Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The full metallic bottom improves thermal uniformity during reflow, reducing risk of voiding or delamination compared to plastic-only SMD packages.
What does the "E3/TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5944BE3/TR7?
The "E3" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel; "TR7" confirms this configuration. This differs from bulk or ammo-pack variants and ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. The marking "944" on the device body identifies the 62 V variant within the 1PMT59xxB family.
Can the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No-the 1PMT5944BE3/TR7 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode designated by TAB 1 and anode at Lead 2. It conducts only in reverse breakdown (cathode positive relative to anode). For bidirectional transient protection, a paired Zener or dedicated TVS array would be required; this device is intended for DC voltage reference or unidirectional clamping only.
