Product details
Overview
1PMT5948CE3/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 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 1PMT5948CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5948CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5948CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5948CE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), 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 with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (<3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V) and stable dynamic impedance (200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA), enabling reliable clamping and reference performance in temperature-critical industrial and telecom power supplies.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal mounting condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 4.1 mA - indicates voltage stability against small-signal current variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <3000 µA at VR = 69.2 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - quantifies thermal path efficiency to PCB copper pad or heatsink |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing environments |

Use Value: Low knee impedance (0.25 mA IZK) and tight VZ tolerance support accurate low-current referencing without external 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 (unidirectional), 91 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance | Designed for transient suppression, not precision DC regulation | Select only for surge protection; not suitable as voltage reference due to wide clamping tolerance and no DC regulation spec |
| BZX84-C91 | SOT-23 package, 300 mW power rating, 91 V ±5%, 600 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Limited thermal capacity; unsuitable for >300 mW continuous dissipation | Use where board space is critical and power <300 mW; requires derating above 25°C ambient |
