Product details
Overview
1PMT5946CE3/TR7 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 reverse leakage at 60 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (≤140 Ω), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable regulation under transient load conditions.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction range) and maintains low reverse leakage (<2000 µA at VR = 60 V), enabling reliable clamping in industrial power converters and telecom line interface circuits where long-term stability and low drift are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5946CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 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 of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and clamping circuits using the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab that conducts heat directly from the junction to the PCB copper. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, enabling reliable 3.0 W operation when TAB 1 is thermally anchored to a sufficient copper area-critical for sustained performance of the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 in power applications.
Is the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion equipment and standard reflow soldering profiles. It ships in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (7-inch reel: 3,000 pieces; 13-inch reel: 12,000 pieces) and features a design that eliminates solder flux entrapment-ensuring high first-pass yield and process reliability for the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 in high-volume manufacturing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 at 60 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 is 2000 µA at VR = 60 V, as specified in the Microsemi MSC0995 datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and preserves signal integrity in high-impedance nodes where the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 is deployed as a voltage clamp or reference.
Does the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), verified per JEDEC JS-001. This intrinsic robustness eliminates the need for additional external ESD protection components in many applications, enhancing system-level reliability for the 1PMT5946CE3/TR7 in telecom, industrial, and automotive environments.
