Product details
Overview
1PMT5944B/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 and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5944B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5944B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5944B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 62 V nominal zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - critical for rugged industrial power monitoring and automotive body control modules.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range (IZT = 6.0 mA). Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to ensure low thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1) and reliable solder joint formation without flux entrapment.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (ZZK = 0.25 Ω at IZK = 1 mA) and stable reverse leakage (IR ≤ 1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V), enabling accurate clamping in transient-suppression circuits where predictable turn-on behavior under partial conduction is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA, TL = 30°C - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage 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 voltage, but SOD-123 package (lower 1.0 W rating); 100 Ω ZZT at 10 mA; no metallic tab | Limited to lower-energy transients; requires external thermal pad design for >1 W operation | Select when board space is constrained and peak clamping energy ≤1.0 W |
| BZX84-C62 (Diodes Inc.) | SOT-23 package; 62 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 150 Ω ZZT at 5 mA; no integrated heat sink | Not suitable for sustained 3.0 W dissipation; used only for signal-level clamping or biasing | Select only for low-power bias/reference roles, not for power-rail protection |
Compared with SMF62A and BZX84-C62, the 1PMT5944B/TR13 delivers 3× higher power handling and superior thermal performance via its metallic-tab Powermite® package - essential when clamping repetitive or high-energy transients in industrial or automotive power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for 1PMT5944B/TR13?
The 1PMT5944B/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes proper thermal coupling of the metallic tab to a PCB copper pour or heatsink. Derating is required above 60°C ambient or if TAB 1 temperature exceeds specification limits. The 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance enables effective passive cooling in most industrial layouts.
How is the cathode identified on the 1PMT5944B/TR13 package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5944B/TR13 is designated by TAB 1, which is the larger metallic terminal on the Powermite® package. This is confirmed in the mechanical specifications section of the MSC0995.PDF datasheet. TAB 1 must be connected to the more positive potential in reverse-bias Zener operation and serves as the primary thermal path - correct orientation is critical for both electrical function and thermal performance.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5944B/TR13?
The 1PMT5944B/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.PDF datasheet. Lower leakage is typical at voltages below VR, supporting low-quiescent-current designs in battery-powered or always-on monitoring applications.
Is 1PMT5944B/TR13 compatible with standard automated assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5944B/TR13 is fully compatible with automatic insertion and reflow soldering equipment. Its Powermite® package features a DO-216 outline, full metallic bottom to prevent flux entrapment, and is supplied in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel: 12,000 pieces). These features were explicitly designed to support high-yield, high-speed surface-mount assembly in volume manufacturing environments.
What does the "B" suffix indicate in the 1PMT5944B/TR13 part number?
The "B" suffix in 1PMT5944B/TR13 denotes the standard ±5% tolerance on the nominal 62 V zener voltage, as defined in Note 1 of the MSC0995.PDF datasheet. Tighter tolerances are available with "C" (±2%) and "D" (±1%) suffixes. The "TR13" indicates tape-and-reel packaging on a 13-inch reel - a standard logistics designation unrelated to electrical specification.
