Product details
Overview
1PMT5948A/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 3000 µA max reverse leakage at 69.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948A/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948A/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948A/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load currents. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to TAB 1.
The device exhibits tight voltage tolerance (±5%), low reverse leakage (≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V), and controlled dynamic impedance (200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA), making it suitable for applications requiring predictable clamping behavior under transient conditions without external heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% - precise clamping threshold at 4.1 mA, verified at TC = 30°C |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - indicates small-signal AC resistance near operating point |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to mounting pad |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing environments |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current required to enter usable regulation region |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5948A | Same 91 V nominal voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; thermal resistance ~65°C/W | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated insertion | Select when board-level thermal constraints allow larger footprint and legacy assembly processes apply |
| BZX84-C91 | 91 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW power rating; 250 Ω dynamic impedance; 100 µA IR at 73.7 V | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W surges or industrial ambient temperatures | Choose only for space-constrained, low-energy circuits where 3 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5948A and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948A/TR13 delivers superior thermal performance (30°C/W vs. 65°C/W or unlisted), higher surge power handling (3.0 W vs. 0.3 W), and SMT-ready mechanical design-making it the only option qualified for ruggedized industrial power rail protection.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948A/TR13?
The 1PMT5948A/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V, measured at 4.1 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 base part number 1PMT5948A/TR13 specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5948A/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5948A/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as the primary thermal path. Its specified junction-to-TAB 1 thermal resistance is 30°C/W, meaning effective heat transfer requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a sufficient copper area on the PCB.
Is the 1PMT5948A/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5948A/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 units), and its Powermite® package geometry and locking tab are explicitly designed for compatibility with high-speed automatic insertion and reflow soldering equipment.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948A/TR13?
The 1PMT5948A/TR13 has a maximum reverse leakage current of 3000 µA at a reverse voltage of 69.2 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TL = 30°C and reflects worst-case leakage under defined test conditions.
Does the 1PMT5948A/TR13 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5948A/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the FEATURES section of the MSC0995 datasheet. This ESD rating applies to the packaged device and supports robust handling during automated manufacturing and board assembly.
