Product details
Overview
1PMT5948AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 91 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 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.1 mA test current and 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1 - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance to tab, reverse leakage at VR = 69.2 V, knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, leveraging silicon PN-junction avalanche breakdown at 91 V nominal. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow or wave soldering.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with IZT = 4.1 mA; Zener voltage shifts with temperature per Micro Note 202, and dynamic impedance (ZZT = 200 Ω) reflects AC small-signal response under 10% IZT ripple. Reverse leakage remains ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA, TL = 30°C - sets regulated output level in shunt regulator circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling with tab heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current transients |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current to achieve stable Zener conduction; critical for low-power biasing |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt; enables thermal design with PCB copper area |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - limits standby power loss in high-impedance sensing or protection paths |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
Pinout & Package
The 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 uses a DO-216–compatible Powermite® surface-mount package with molded body and full metallic bottom. Cathode is designated by TAB 1; mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat path and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; connects to lower-potential node in shunt regulation or clamping configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB via TAB 1 |

| Automated insertion compatibility | Designed for pick-and-place and wave soldering per EIA-481 tape-and-reel (7″/13″ reels) |
| Low reverse leakage | ≤3000 µA at 69.2 V enables use in high-impedance voltage monitoring and battery-backed circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5948BRLG | Same 91 V nominal, ±5%, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic tab; 50°C/W θJA vs. 30°C/W junction-to-tab | Requires lead trimming and manual placement; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or high-power SMT thermal management | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly or board-level repair is required |
| BZX85C91-TR | 91 V ±5%, TO-220AC package; 1.3 W rating; higher thermal resistance (60°C/W junction-to-case); no ESD rating specified | Limited to lower-power applications; lacks >16 kV HBM rating and flux-trap-free bottom design | Choose only where cost is primary constraint and 3.0 W dissipation is not needed |
Compared with 1N5948BRLG and BZX85C91-TR, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 delivers superior thermal performance (30°C/W), automated assembly readiness, and certified ESD robustness - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-reliability SMT power regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V nominal, measured at IZT = 4.1 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback networks and must be accounted for in worst-case circuit analysis.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5948AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 has a junction-to-TAB 1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, enabling 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is held at 60°C. This value assumes direct thermal conduction from the metallic bottom to a PCB copper pour. Unlike standard SMT diodes, the Powermite® package's integral heat sink tab makes this parameter measurable and design-critical for thermal layout.
Is 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 is fully compatible with automated insertion equipment and conforms to EIA-481 tape-and-reel standards (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs). Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab and full metallic bottom that prevent flux entrapment and ensure reliable placement and solder joint integrity during reflow.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948AE3/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 is 3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V and TL = 30°C. This value is specified in the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table and reflects worst-case leakage under rated clamping conditions - important for low-power standby circuits where quiescent current must remain below microamp thresholds.
Does 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 have ESD protection, and what is its rating?
Yes, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the official Microsemi datasheet MSC0995. This high rating results from process-level design and packaging features, making the device suitable for handling in uncontrolled environments and integration into systems sensitive to electrostatic discharge damage.
