Product details
Overview
1PMT5948BE3/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 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 91 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - all critical for ruggedized power management designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to regulate or clamp voltage with tight voltage stability under varying load conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to PCB copper, enabling 3.0 W dissipation without external heatsinking.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (0.25 Ω) and controlled knee current (4.1 mA), supporting stable regulation even at low bias currents. Reverse leakage remains ≤3000 µA up to 69.2 V, ensuring minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without derating in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at 4.1 mA - determines voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby power monitoring |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal path to PCB ground plane for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - protects against handling-induced electrostatic discharge during assembly |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 4.1 mA - minimum current needed to achieve stable Zener conduction |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sink interface and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; mounted opposite TAB 1 on DO-216 outline |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability in high-humidity environments |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB, enabling 3.0 W operation in 3.0 mm × 2.5 mm footprint |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating reduces risk of field failure due to static discharge in automated handling and end-use |
| Low knee impedance | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 4.1 mA supports stable regulation down to light-load conditions typical in sensor biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ91A | TVS diode (not Zener); 91 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, unidirectional | Designed for transient suppression only; lacks stable DC regulation capability | Select when surge energy exceeds 3.0 W continuous but DC regulation is not required |
| 1N5375B | Through-hole 91 V Zener; 5 W rating; DO-201AD package; 55°C/W thermal resistance | Requires larger PCB area and external heatsinking for equivalent power handling | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher continuous power is needed, accepting larger footprint |
Compared with SMCJ91A and 1N5375B, the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 uniquely combines surface-mount compatibility, 3.0 W continuous dissipation in a 3.0 mm × 2.5 mm footprint, and true Zener regulation - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding DC voltage reference and clamp applications where both precision and ruggedness are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V nominal, measured at 4.1 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts accuracy in voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab (TAB 1) that serves as both cathode and primary thermal interface. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper thermal pad on the PCB to achieve the rated 3.0 W power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C.
What does the "E3/TR13" suffix indicate for the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13?
The "E3" denotes tape-and-reel packaging compliant with EIA-481 standards, and "TR13" specifies a 13-inch reel containing 12,000 units. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed automated pick-and-place equipment and supports volume manufacturing without manual handling.
Can the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 be used as a replacement for through-hole Zeners like the 1N5375B?
The 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 is not a drop-in replacement for the 1N5375B due to different packages (DO-216 vs. DO-201AD), thermal paths, and mounting methods. While both are 91 V Zeners, the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 delivers 3.0 W in a surface-mount footprint with lower thermal resistance (30°C/W vs. 55°C/W), requiring PCB layout adaptation for optimal thermal performance.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specified for the 1PMT5948BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948BE3/TR13 has a maximum reverse leakage current of 3000 µA at a reverse voltage of 69.2 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This parameter is critical for low-power standby circuits, as excessive leakage can increase quiescent current and reduce battery life in always-on applications.
