Product details
Overview
1PMT5948C/TR13 from Microsemi is a 91 V, ±1% tolerance Zener diode in the Powermite® surface-mount 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 - used for precision voltage regulation in industrial power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948C/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948C/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948C/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948C/TR13 equivalent, key selection considerations include its tight 1% voltage tolerance, ESD rating >16 kV (HBM), full metallic bottom eliminating flux entrapment, and compatibility with automated insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Powermite® package integrates a locking tab acting as an integral heat sink and features a full metallic bottom for improved thermal conduction and solder reliability.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with VZ measured 20 seconds after applying DC current; dynamic impedance (ZZT) is derived using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT, and knee impedance (ZZK) is specified at 0.25 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 91 V ±1% - enables precise clamping or reference in high-voltage regulation stages |
| Test Current (IZT) | 4.1 mA - defines operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω - limits voltage variation under small-signal AC load changes |
| Max Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - supports robust thermal management in compact SMT layouts |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W (junction to TAB 1) - allows accurate junction temperature estimation during design |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures handling robustness in automated assembly and field operation |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - specifies minimum current for stable Zener conduction onset |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and voltage reference node; must be thermally anchored to PCB copper |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Current entry point during reverse-bias operation; electrically isolated from TAB 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layout while delivering 3.0 W power handling traditionally found in larger through-hole packages |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical retention during reflow and enhances thermal transfer from junction to PCB without external heatsink |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk, improving long-term solder joint integrity and process yield |
| ESD rating >16 kV (HBM) | Reduces susceptibility to electrostatic damage during handling, board assembly, and end-use environments |
| ±1% Zener voltage tolerance (suffix C) | Supports tighter regulation margins in feedback loops and reference circuits without post-calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF91A (ON Semiconductor) | DO-219AD package, 3.0 W, 91 V ±5%, 250 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Larger thermal resistance (50°C/W), no integral heat sink tab | Acceptable where ±5% tolerance and lower ESD immunity (>8 kV HBM) are acceptable |
| BZX84-C91 (Diodes Inc.) | SOT-23 package, 300 mW, 91 V ±5%, 500 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use to signal-level clamping only | Only suitable for low-power logic interface protection, not power rail regulation |
Compared with SMF91A and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948C/TR13 delivers superior thermal performance (30°C/W), tighter 1% tolerance, and integrated heat sinking - making it uniquely suited for high-reliability, high-power industrial voltage reference and clamping roles where stability and surge endurance are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5948C/TR13 denotes ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 4.1 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. This is tighter than the standard ±5% (B suffix) and supports precision regulation where minimal voltage drift is required. The 1PMT5948C/TR13 achieves this via laser-trimmed silicon and rigorous binning during final test.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5948C/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5948C/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal path, offering 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance. Its integral locking tab acts as a built-in heat sink, and the full metallic bottom ensures efficient conduction into PCB copper. For reliable 3.0 W operation, TAB 1 must be connected to ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with thermal vias.
Is 1PMT5948C/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5948C/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its molded Powermite® package and metallization system are fully compatible with SAC305 solder paste and typical 60–90 second time-above-liquidus cycles. No special prebake or moisture sensitivity handling is required (MSL 1).
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5948C/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard on a 13-inch reel containing 12,000 units. This format supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and is optimized for automated SMT lines. The reel meets industry-standard tension, pocket depth, and cover tape peel force specifications for reliable feeding.
Can 1PMT5948C/TR13 be used in place of older through-hole Zeners like 1N5375B?
Yes, the 1PMT5948C/TR13 provides equivalent 91 V Zener functionality with improved thermal performance (30°C/W vs. ~60°C/W for 1N5375B) and surface-mount compatibility. However, direct replacement requires PCB layout revision due to different footprint and thermal pad requirements - it is not a drop-in mechanical substitute but a functionally superior upgrade path for new designs.
