Product details
Overview
1PMT5946BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 75 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 140 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.0 mA test current and 2000 µA max reverse leakage at 56 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (≤400 Ω), and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Zener breakdown is specified at 75 V ±5% with IZT = 5.0 mA, and exhibits tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK ≤ 400 Ω) enabling stable regulation under light-load conditions.
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as an integral heat sink, delivering 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1 and eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow assembly - critical for high-reliability industrial power supplies.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF75A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 75 V nominal Zener voltage, but 1.0 W rating and SOD-123 package; higher ZZT = 200 Ω | Limited to lower-power clamping; unsuitable for sustained 3 W dissipation | Select when board space is critical and peak power < 1.5 W; not drop-in for thermal designs requiring 3 W |
| BZX84-C75 (Diodes Inc.) | 75 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, ZZT = 220 Ω, no metallic thermal tab | Cannot handle >300 mW continuously; lacks integrated heatsink capability | Use only in signal-level references or low-duty-cycle clamps; requires external thermal management for power use |
Compared with SMF75A and BZX84-C75, the 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 uniquely delivers 3.0 W power handling in a surface-mount package with integrated thermal tab and 30°C/W junction-to-TAB resistance - making it the only option among the three suitable for continuous high-power regulation or clamping without auxiliary heatsinking.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5946BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 75 V, measured at 5.0 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback networks and must be accounted for in worst-case design margins.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 uses Microsemi's Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that functions as the primary heat sink. Thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1 is 30°C/W, meaning effective cooling requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper thermal pad with ≥4 thermal vias. This design eliminates reliance on lead-frame conduction alone, enabling full 3.0 W dissipation without external heatsinks.
Can 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 be used in automotive load-dump protection?
Yes, the 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 is suitable for automotive load-dump protection per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, due to its 3.0 W power rating, 75 V clamping voltage, and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. Its low 0.25 mA knee current ensures rapid turn-on during surge onset, and the Powermite® package withstands repeated thermal cycling. However, system-level testing is required to verify clamping behavior under actual vehicle bus impedance conditions.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5946BE3/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 is 2000 µA at a reverse voltage of 56 V and ambient temperature of 30°C. This value is critical for low-power standby circuits where leakage could affect battery life or cause false triggering; it is measured under standardized conditions and remains stable across the -55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range.
Is 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5946BE3/TR13 is fully compatible with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant lead-free reflow profiles. Its molded Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, and the full metallic bottom prevents flux entrapment - eliminating post-reflow cleaning requirements. The device is supplied in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces), optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment.
