Product details
Overview
1PMT5945B/TR13 from Microsemi is a 68 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 120 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.5 mA test current and 1700 µA max reverse leakage at 51.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5945B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5945B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5945B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5945B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 68 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range (IZT = 5.5 mA). Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction from junction to PCB pad, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (ZZK = 0.25 Ω) and maintains stable regulation under varying load conditions due to its defined Zener impedance profile (ZZT = 120 Ω at IZT), with reverse leakage strictly limited to ≤1700 µA at VR = 51.2 V - ensuring minimal standby power loss in clamping applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Same 68 V nominal Zener voltage but in DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; no metallic tab | Requires through-hole assembly and external heatsinking for equivalent power handling | Select when legacy through-hole design or higher single-pulse energy absorption is required |
| BZX84-C68 | 68 V Zener in SOT-23; 300 mW rating; 40 Ω dynamic impedance; no metallic thermal path | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 3 W continuous dissipation | Select only for space-constrained, low-power bias/reference use - not for power rail protection |
Compared with 1PMT5945B/TR13, 1N5357B offers higher pulse energy capacity but lacks surface-mount compatibility and integrated thermal management, while BZX84-C68 provides compact size at the cost of 10× lower power rating and inferior thermal performance - making 1PMT5945B/TR13 the optimal choice for automated, high-reliability 3 W SMT Zener applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5945B/TR13?
The 1PMT5945B/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 68 V, measured at IZT = 5.5 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5945B/TR13 specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in reference and clamp circuits.
How is thermal management achieved in the 1PMT5945B/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5945B/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as both mechanical anchor and primary thermal path. Its specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling 3.0 W power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C - requiring direct solder connection to a thermally robust PCB copper area.
Is 1PMT5945B/TR13 compatible with standard SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5945B/TR13 is fully compatible with automated surface-mount assembly. It is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ or 13″ reels), and its DO-216 outline meets IPC-7351 standards. The full metallic bottom prevents flux entrapment during reflow, and the locking tab ensures positional stability during placement and soldering.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5945B/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5945B/TR13 is 1700 µA at VR = 51.2 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This value is critical for low-power applications such as sensor biasing or high-impedance reference dividers, where excessive leakage would introduce error or increase standby power consumption.
Does 1PMT5945B/TR13 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5945B/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM) ESD, verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This high ESD rating ensures robust handling during automated manufacturing and field deployment, reducing risk of latent damage in industrial and telecom environments where static discharge is common.
