Product details
Overview
1PMT5948AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, with nominal Zener voltage 91 V ±5%, dynamic impedance 200 Ω at 4.1 mA test current, and thermal resistance 30°C/W junction-to-tab. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and transient protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power derating above 60°C tab temperature, reverse leakage at 69.2 V, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤3000 µA at 69.2 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and stable performance from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Zener voltage is measured at 4.1 mA with tab temperature held at 30°C for 20 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TL = 60°C on TAB 1 - maximum continuous DC power before thermal shutdown |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness against current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - sets minimum clamping threshold and standby power loss |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - determines temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB copper pad |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures handling robustness without external protection |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C junction/storage - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; DO-216 outline; weight ≈0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat path and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to copper pour for thermal management |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; reverse-biased configuration places this at lower potential during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layout while delivering 3.0 W power handling comparable to larger through-hole Zeners |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB copper |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| ESD robustness >16 kV HBM | Reduces need for external ESD protection in board-level transient suppression designs |
| Tight Zener voltage tolerance option | ±1% (suffix D) or ±2% (suffix C) available - supports precision reference applications beyond standard ±5% |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5375B | Same 91 V nominal Zener voltage, but DO-204AL package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) | Requires larger PCB footprint and heatsinking; better suited for non-SMT legacy designs | Select 1N5375B only if through-hole assembly or higher power margin is required; not drop-in compatible |
| BZX84-C91 | 91 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; 500 Ω ZZT; no metallic heat sink tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for sustained 3 W dissipation | Choose BZX84-C91 only for space-constrained signal rails where power stress is negligible |
Compared with 1N5375B and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 uniquely combines 3.0 W surface-mount capability, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and flux-free metallic bottom-making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-reliability SMT power regulation where size and assembly yield matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V nominal. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available as custom order options. Voltage is measured at 4.1 mA test current with tab temperature stabilized at 30°C for 20 seconds, per Microsemi Note 202.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper pour for effective heat dissipation. The full metallic bottom and locking tab ensure low-impedance conduction and mechanical stability during reflow.
Can 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 replace through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5375B in existing designs?
No, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5375B due to different package (Powermite® vs. DO-204AL), pinout, and thermal interface. While both regulate at 91 V, PCB layout, solder profile, and heatsinking must be redesigned to accommodate the surface-mount metallic tab and 30°C/W thermal path of the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 at rated voltage?
At reverse voltage VR = 69.2 V (76% of nominal 91 V), the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 exhibits maximum reverse leakage current of 3000 µA. This value is specified in the MSC0995 datasheet and defines the upper bound of standby current draw when used as a clamp below breakdown.
Is 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5948AE3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow processes. It ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (3,000 pieces per 7-inch reel), features a flux-free metallic bottom to prevent solder voids, and is designed for reliable pick-and-place handling using standard vision-guided feeders.
