Product details
Overview
1PMT5948B/TR13 from Microsemi is a 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, with nominal zener voltage 91 V ±5%, test current 4.1 mA, dynamic impedance 200 Ω, 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 1PMT5948B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948B/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include its 91 V zener voltage, 3.0 W power dissipation at tab temperature ≤60°C, DO-216 mechanical outline, full metallic bottom for flux-free soldering, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM.
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 locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to tab (30°C/W).
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 69.2 V), defined knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 3000 Ω), and stable performance across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range-making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments where thermal reliability is critical.
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 TAB1 = 60°C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC variations |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 3000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - characterizes regulation onset near minimum operating current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 69.2 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference use |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency to PCB heatsink area |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - supports robust handling during automated assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
The 1PMT5948B/TR13 uses a 2-terminal DO-216 molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab. Cathode is designated by TAB 1; anode is the opposite end. Mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat sink interface and voltage reference node; must be connected to low-impedance ground or return plane |
| Opposite End | Anode | Current entry point during reverse-bias operation; connects to unregulated input or transient source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term solder joint integrity and process yield |
| Integral locking tab | Acts as mechanical anchor and thermal conduction path-reduces thermal resistance by direct metal-to-PCB contact |
| DO-216 mechanical outline | Enables compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (7″/13″ reels) |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows safe handling without special ESD controls in production and field service |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5948BTR | Same 91 V zener voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab | Lacks thermal performance (higher RθJA); unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts requiring flux-free assembly | Choose only if legacy through-hole design or manual assembly is required |
| BZX84-C91 | 91 V zener in SOT-23; rated 300 mW only; dynamic impedance ~500 Ω; no thermal tab | Inadequate for >300 mW clamping; cannot replace 1PMT5948B/TR13 in 3 W applications without redesign | Select only for low-power signal-level referencing-not for power rail protection |
Compared with 1N5948BTR and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948B/TR13 delivers unique 3.0 W SMT capability with integrated thermal management and flux-free assembly-enabling compact, high-reliability power regulation where thermal and process constraints rule out alternatives.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948B/TR13?
The 1PMT5948B/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V, measured at 4.1 mA test current and tab temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5948B/TR13 specifies ±5%.
Can 1PMT5948B/TR13 be used in place of a through-hole Zener like 1N5948B?
No-1PMT5948B/TR13 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5948B due to different packages (DO-216 vs. DO-41), thermal paths, and mounting methods. While both share 91 V zener voltage, the 1PMT5948B/TR13 requires SMT layout with thermal pad connection to TAB 1, unlike the axial-lead 1N5948B.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that 1PMT5948B/TR13 can block before breakdown?
The 1PMT5948B/TR13 is rated for a maximum reverse voltage (VR) of 69.2 V, at which reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA. Breakdown occurs at the nominal zener voltage of 91 V under specified test conditions (IZT = 4.1 mA). Operation above 69.2 V but below 91 V results in increasing leakage, not regulation.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance of 1PMT5948B/TR13?
The Powermite® package enhances thermal performance of 1PMT5948B/TR13 via its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab (TAB 1), providing a direct thermal path from junction to PCB copper. This achieves a junction-to-tab thermal resistance of 30°C/W-significantly lower than standard SOD-123 or SOT-23 packages-and enables full 3.0 W dissipation at tab temperature ≤60°C.
Is 1PMT5948B/TR13 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-1PMT5948B/TR13 is qualified for operation across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and features >16 kV HBM ESD rating, making it suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications. Its robust Powermite® package resists mechanical stress and thermal cycling, supporting AEC-Q200 alignment in customer-qualified designs.
