Product details
Overview
1PMT5948E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in Powermite® package with nominal zener voltage 91 V (±5%), dynamic impedance 200 Ω at 4.1 mA test current, and thermal resistance 30°C/W junction-to-tab. It serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and transient protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5948E3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5948E3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5948E3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5948E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 91 V zener voltage, 3.0 W power rating at tab temperature ≤60°C, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - all critical for high-reliability industrial and automotive power rail stabilization.
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 mechanical stability during reflow soldering.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤3000 µA at 1 V), knee current of 0.25 mA, and knee impedance of 3000 Ω - enabling stable regulation even at low bias currents. Voltage tolerance is ±5% standard, with optional ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) versions available.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| 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 temperature ≤60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at 4.1 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB copper pad cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures robustness against handling and assembly electrostatic discharge |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤3000 µA at VR = 1 V - confirms low standby power loss in clamping applications |

Use Value: ±5% initial tolerance and 30°C/W thermal resistance enable <100 ppm/°C drift when mounted on thermally stabilized copper pads. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5375B | Same 91 V nominal VZ, but DO-41 through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~50°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select 1N5375B only if board-level repair or legacy through-hole compatibility is required |
| BZX84-C91 | 91 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW power rating; 600 Ω ZZT; no metallic heat-sink tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W continuous dissipation | Choose BZX84-C91 only for space-constrained logic-level protection where power stress is negligible |
Compared with 1N5375B and BZX84-C91, the 1PMT5948E3/TR13 uniquely delivers 3.0 W SMT power handling with integrated thermal management - making it the only viable option for high-reliability, high-power Zener regulation in modern industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5948E3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948E3/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 91 V nominal, measured at 4.1 mA test current and tab temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base part number 1PMT5948E3/TR13 reflects the ±5% grade.
Can 1PMT5948E3/TR13 be used in place of through-hole Zeners like 1N5375B?
No - while both devices share a 91 V nominal zener voltage, the 1PMT5948E3/TR13 is a surface-mount Powermite® device with DO-216 outline and integral heat-sink tab, whereas 1N5375B uses DO-41 through-hole packaging. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign; thermal and mounting constraints differ significantly between the two packages.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5948E3/TR13?
The 1PMT5948E3/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when the tab (TAB 1) temperature is maintained at or below 60°C. This rating assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading; exceeding 60°C tab temperature reduces allowable power linearly per the device's thermal resistance of 30°C/W.
How is cathode identification implemented on 1PMT5948E3/TR13?
The cathode of the 1PMT5948E3/TR13 is designated by TAB 1 - the larger metallic surface on the package bottom. This tab serves as both the cathode electrical connection and primary thermal interface. The anode is the smaller lead opposite TAB 1, consistent with DO-216AA mechanical specifications.
Does 1PMT5948E3/TR13 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
The 1PMT5948E3/TR13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is rated for operation from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and features >16 kV HBM ESD robustness, but formal qualification testing per AEC-Q200 stress profiles (including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and vibration) has not been performed or documented for this part number.
