Product details
Overview
1PMT5948CE3/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 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in industrial power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance to tab, reverse leakage at VR = 69.2 V, knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), and ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown characteristics, designed for stable voltage regulation under transient and steady-state conditions. Its DO-216 (Powermite®) package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab for mechanical retention and thermal conduction to PCB copper.
The 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 exhibits low reverse leakage (≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V), tight voltage tolerance (±5%), and specified dynamic impedance (200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA), enabling predictable clamping behavior in protection circuits and reference stability in feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal clamping/reference level |
| Max Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB copper area |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - determines voltage deviation under load current changes |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter stable Zener region; critical for low-power biasing |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB pad |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures robustness during handling and board assembly |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - limits standby current in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed circuits |
Pinout & Package

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 but DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; 50°C/W thermal resistance | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or thermally constrained boards | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly or lower-cost procurement outweighs thermal and automation benefits of 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 |
| SMBJ91A | TVS diode (not Zener); 91 V standoff, 100 W peak pulse power; higher leakage (5 µA typical at 73.7 V) | Designed for transient suppression, not precision regulation; lacks stable DC Zener characteristic | Use SMBJ91A only for surge-only protection; avoid where stable DC reference or low-IZK operation is required |
Compared with 1N5948BTR and SMBJ91A, the 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W DC power handling, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and sub-mA knee current-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, precision-clamp applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948CE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V, measured at IZT = 4.1 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the MSC0995.PDF datasheet revision F and applies to all units marked "C" suffix (e.g., 1PMT5948CE3/TR13). Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes D and E, respectively.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5948CE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 relies on its metallic TAB 1 for primary heat dissipation, with a specified thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB. Effective thermal management requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour on the PCB. The Powermite® package's full metallic bottom and locking tab enhance conduction, enabling 3.0 W continuous dissipation when TAB temperature is held at ≤60°C.
What does the "E3/TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5948CE3/TR13?
The "E3" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard with 13-inch reels (12,000 pieces per reel), and "TR13" confirms that configuration. The "C" in "CE3" specifies ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. This full suffix distinguishes the part from variants like 1PMT5948BE3 (±10%) or 1PMT5948DE3 (±2%), ensuring correct procurement for design requirements.
Can 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 replace through-hole Zeners like 1N5948B?
No direct replacement: 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 is a surface-mount DO-216 device with 30°C/W thermal resistance and integrated heat-sink tab, whereas 1N5948B is DO-41 through-hole with ~50°C/W. While both have 91 V Zener voltage, PCB layout, thermal design, and assembly process differ significantly. Migration requires redesign of footprint, thermal pads, and reflow profile-not just substitution.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) before significant leakage in 1PMT5948CE3/TR13?
Per the MSC0995.PDF datasheet, the 1PMT5948CE3/TR13 exhibits ≤3000 µA reverse leakage at VR = 69.2 V. This voltage corresponds to 76% of nominal VZ (91 V) and represents the upper limit for low-leakage operation. Beyond this, leakage rises nonlinearly; for stable reference use, operation should remain above IZK = 0.25 mA and below VR = 69.2 V unless transient clamping is intended.
