Product details
Overview
1PMT5944B/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 power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5944B/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944B/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944B/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944B/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 62 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer without flux entrapment.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (≤1500 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) and tight voltage regulation across its operating range. Electrical characteristics are specified at TL = 30°C with measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application, per Micro Note 202 for voltage-current deviation analysis.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ64A | 64 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, TVS diode not Zener-regulated | Designed for transient suppression, not precision DC regulation | Select only for surge-only protection where DC accuracy is irrelevant |
| BZX84-C62 | 62 V ±5%, 300 mW power rating, SOT-23 package, 400°C/W thermal resistance | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot sustain 3.0 W continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained low-current references; avoid in power regulation roles |
Compared with SMCJ64A and BZX84-C62, the 1PMT5944B/TR7 uniquely combines 62 V Zener regulation, 3.0 W continuous power handling, and DO-216 thermal design-making it suitable for industrial power supply feedback and clamping where both precision and power endurance are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944B/TR7?
The 1PMT5944B/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 62 V, measured at IZT = 6.0 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. Voltage measurement must be completed within 20 seconds of DC current application to meet specification compliance.
How is thermal performance managed in the 1PMT5944B/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5944B/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab (TAB 1) that serves as both mechanical anchor and primary thermal path. Its junction-to-tab thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling 3.0 W power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C-requiring adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading.
Can 1PMT5944B/TR7 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5248B?
No-1PMT5944B/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5248B. While both are 62 V Zeners, 1PMT5944B/TR7 is a 3.0 W surface-mount device in DO-216 outline with cathode on TAB 1, whereas 1N5248B is a 0.5 W through-hole device in DO-35. Differences in power rating, thermal path, and mounting method require PCB redesign and thermal validation before substitution.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944B/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944B/TR7 is 1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V and TL = 30°C. This value reflects the device's ability to remain non-conductive below its Zener knee, supporting reliable voltage thresholding in sensing and protection circuits without excessive standby current draw.
Is 1PMT5944B/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes-1PMT5944B/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The full metallic bottom ensures uniform thermal expansion and eliminates flux entrapment, reducing voiding risk and enhancing solder joint reliability in RoHS-compliant manufacturing.
