Product details
Overview
1PMT5948B/TR7 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 and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948B/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5948B/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5948B/TR7 application, or 1PMT5948B/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 91 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, low 200 Ω Zener impedance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and DO-216 mechanical outline compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp knee characteristics-IZK = 0.25 mA and ZZK = 3000 Ω-enabling stable regulation even at low bias currents. Its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab provide direct thermal conduction to the PCB, yielding 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance.
The 1PMT5948B/TR7 is specified under TL = 30°C ambient, with Zener voltage measured 20 seconds after DC current application per Note 1. Dynamic impedance (ZZT) is derived using 60 Hz RMS AC superimposed at 10% of IZT, per Note 2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines clamping threshold in overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current shifts |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on reference designs |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - allows direct PCB copper pour thermal management for sustained 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robust handling during automated assembly and field operation |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - enables functional regulation down to microamp-level biasing in low-power sensing nodes |

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 (unidirectional), 91 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (~200 pF) | Designed for transient suppression only-not for continuous regulation or reference use | Select when primary need is high-energy surge clamping; not suitable as precision shunt reference |
| BZX84-C91 | SOT-23 package, 300 mW power rating, 91 V ±5%, 600 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Limited thermal capacity restricts use to low-duty-cycle or low-current reference roles | Select for space-constrained low-power designs where 3.0 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with SMCJ91A and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948B/TR7 uniquely combines 3.0 W continuous Zener regulation, DO-216 mechanical robustness, and 200 Ω dynamic impedance-making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally demanding shunt reference and clamping roles where sustained power handling matters.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948B/TR7?
The 1PMT5948B/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V nominal, measured at IZT = 4.1 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, respectively, but the /TR7 variant corresponds to the standard ±5% version.
How is thermal performance managed in the 1PMT5948B/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5948B/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as both mechanical anchor and primary thermal path. Its specified 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper thermal pad to achieve the full 3.0 W DC power rating at TAB 1 = 60°C.
Can 1PMT5948B/TR7 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5249B?
No-1PMT5948B/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5249B. While both are 91 V Zeners, 1PMT5948B/TR7 is a 3.0 W surface-mount device in DO-216 outline with cathode on TAB 1, whereas 1N5249B is a 0.5 W through-hole device in DO-35. Differences in power rating, package, thermal path, and mounting method require PCB redesign and thermal validation before substitution.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948B/TR7 at rated conditions?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5948B/TR7 is 3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V and TL = 30°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects worst-case leakage under defined test conditions-not typical operation-and remains stable across the full -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Is tape-and-reel packaging available for 1PMT5948B/TR7, and what are the reel specifications?
Yes-1PMT5948B/TR7 is supplied in EIA Standard 481 tape-and-reel format. The /TR7 suffix indicates 7-inch reels containing 3,000 units. Reels comply with industry-standard pocket pitch, cover tape tension, and orientation requirements for compatibility with high-speed SMT placement equipment.
