Product details
Overview
1PMT5945/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 of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5945/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5945/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5945/TR13 application, or 1PMT5945/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and tight zener voltage stability under 5.5 mA IZT.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to regulate or clamp voltage at 68 V nominal, with knee current (IZK) of 0.25 mA and knee impedance (ZZK) of 1700 Ω - indicating stable conduction onset. Its full metallic bottom and locking tab provide direct thermal path to PCB copper, enabling 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance.
The device complies with EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (7" reel, 3000 pcs), supports automatic insertion, and maintains reverse leakage ≤1700 µA at 51.2 V (90% of VZ). Zener voltage is specified at TL = 30°C with 20-second DC stabilization per measurement protocol.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 68 V ±5% at IZT = 5.5 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 120 Ω at IZT = 5.5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1700 µA at VR = 51.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for sustained 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge during SMT assembly and field operation |
| Package Outline | DO-216 (Powermite®) - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles and AOI inspection |
Pinout & Package
Powermite® package features a molded body with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab acting as cathode terminal (TAB 1). Cathode is designated by TAB 1; anode is the opposing lead. Mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking interface and voltage reference node; must be connected to low-impedance ground or return path |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Current entry point during reverse-bias operation; connects to protected node or supply rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, ensuring reliable solder joint integrity and long-term thermal performance |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB copper, reducing thermal resistance by ~40% vs. standard SOD packages |
| Automatic insertion compatibility | Robust mechanical design withstands pick-and-place nozzle pressure and conveyor vibration without misalignment or damage |
| Low reverse leakage | 1700 µA max at 51.2 V enables use in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where quiescent current is critical |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5945/TR13?
The 1PMT5945/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes direct thermal coupling to a PCB copper area ≥1 cm². Derating is required above 60°C ambient or if TAB 1 temperature exceeds specification limits.
How is the cathode identified on the 1PMT5945/TR13 package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5945/TR13 is designated by TAB 1 - the full metallic bottom surface of the Powermite® package. This tab serves as both the electrical cathode connection and primary thermal interface. The anode is the opposing lead.
Does 1PMT5945/TR13 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5945/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as verified in Microsemi's qualification testing. This makes it suitable for use in environments prone to electrostatic discharge during handling or operation.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5945/TR13?
The 1PMT5945/TR13 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1700 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 51.2 V (90% of nominal VZ). This value is measured at TL = 30°C and defines the upper bound of standby current in clamping applications.
Is 1PMT5945/TR13 supplied in tape-and-reel format?
Yes, the 1PMT5945/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel packaging: 7-inch reels contain 3,000 units, and 13-inch reels contain 12,000 units. The "TR13" suffix explicitly denotes the 13-inch reel configuration.
