Product details
Overview
1PMT5944E3/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 <1 µA 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 1PMT5944E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (1500 Ω at 0.25 mA), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (<1 µA at VR = 47.1 V), stable dynamic impedance (100 Ω at IZT = 6.0 mA), and a thermal resistance of 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1 - enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature under defined power derating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA, TL = 30°C - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with thermal pad cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω at IZT = 6.0 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 1500 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates onset of stable regulation at low-current operation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 47.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB copper pad heat sinking |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special ESD controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5944BRLG | Same 62 V nominal Zener voltage, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic thermal tab; 1.5 W rating | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-power density or thermally constrained layouts | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated and thermal load is ≤1.5 W |
| BZX84-C62LT1G | 62 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW power rating; 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA; 300°C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W dissipation without external heatsinking | Choose for space-constrained signal conditioning where power stress is below 300 mW |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5944E3/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 of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base 1PMT5944E3/TR7 part uses the ±5% specification confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet revision F.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5944E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5944E3/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with an integral metallic locking tab (TAB 1) that serves as both cathode terminal and primary thermal conduction path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a PCB copper pour to achieve the rated 3.0 W power dissipation at 60°C tab temperature.
Does 1PMT5944E3/TR7 meet industry-standard ESD requirements?
Yes, the 1PMT5944E3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), as documented in the MSC0995 datasheet. This level exceeds typical IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact) requirements and supports robust handling in automated SMT assembly lines without additional ESD mitigation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5944E3/TR7 is <1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 47.1 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MSC0995 datasheet. This value is measured at TL = 30°C and confirms low standby power loss in precision reference or clamping applications.
Is 1PMT5944E3/TR7 compatible with EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5944E3/TR7 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format - specifically 7-inch reels containing 3,000 pieces and 13-inch reels containing 12,000 pieces - ensuring seamless integration into high-speed pick-and-place equipment used in volume manufacturing.
