Product details
Overview
1PMT5944/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 1PMT5944/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5944/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5944/TR7 application, or 1PMT5944/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 placement equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under steady-state DC bias. Its design centers on tight voltage tolerance control at IZT = 6.0 mA, with specified knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA) and knee impedance (ZZK = 1500 Ω), enabling reliable operation near breakdown threshold.
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper. Thermal resistance is fixed at 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1, and cathode polarity is unambiguously designated by TAB 1 per mechanical drawing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 62 V ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA - defines nominal clamping level for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with board-level heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 100 Ω at IZT = 6.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB copper pad |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robustness in handling and assembly without external protection |
| Knee Current IZK | 0.25 mA - minimum current required to enter stable Zener conduction region |
Pinout & Package

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, 64 V standoff, 100 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (~150 pF) | Designed for transient suppression (IEC 61000-4-2/4-5), not DC regulation | Select when surge immunity > clamping accuracy is required; not suitable for precision reference use |
| BZX84-C62 | SOT-23 package, 300 mW power, 62 V ±5%, ZZT = 150 Ω at 5 mA | Limited thermal capacity; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous clamp current | Choose only for low-power signal-level clamping where PCB space is critical and power <0.3 W |
Compared with SMCJ64A and BZX84-C62, the 1PMT5944/TR7 uniquely balances 3.0 W DC power handling, 100 Ω dynamic impedance, and 30°C/W thermal resistance in a surface-mount package-making it suitable for sustained voltage regulation where TVS devices lack stability and small-signal Zeners lack power margin.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5944/TR7?
The 1PMT5944/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 6.0 mA and TC = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% with suffix C, ±1% with suffix D) are available as custom order variants but are not applicable to the standard 1PMT5944/TR7 marking or reel packaging.
How is cathode identification implemented on 1PMT5944/TR7?
The cathode of the 1PMT5944/TR7 is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, as confirmed in the mechanical specifications section of the MSC0995 datasheet. This metallic tab serves as both the cathode terminal and primary thermal interface, and must be connected to circuit ground or the lowest potential node in shunt regulator configurations.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5944/TR7?
The 1PMT5944/TR7 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when the temperature of TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading; derating is required above 60°C TAB temperature per the device's thermal resistance of 30°C/W.
Does 1PMT5944/TR7 require external heat sinking?
No external heat sink is required for the 1PMT5944/TR7. Its Powermite® package incorporates an integral locking tab (TAB 1) that functions as a direct thermal path to the PCB copper. Achieving the full 3.0 W rating depends on proper soldering to ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper pour, per Microsemi's thermal guidelines in Application Note AN-1002.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5944/TR7?
The 1PMT5944/TR7 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 1500 µA at VR = 47.1 V and TL = 30°C. This value reflects worst-case leakage just below the Zener knee and ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance bias networks upstream of the regulated node.
