Product details
Overview
1PMT5949AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 100 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 250 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.7 mA test current and 3100 µA max reverse leakage at 76 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with zener voltage measured 20 seconds after applying DC test current; dynamic impedance is derived using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT. Thermal resistance is specified as 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at IZT = 3.7 mA - sets precise clamping threshold for 100 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-power regulation without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA - ensures stable voltage under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3100 µA max at VR = 76 V - defines minimum holding voltage before breakdown |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - supports thermal management via PCB copper pour under TAB |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robustness against handling and system-level ESD events |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - indicates onset of regulated conduction at low-current biasing conditions |

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 100 V nominal, but DO-41 through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or higher peak pulse power is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5949AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 temperature is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes proper thermal design - including adequate PCB copper area under TAB 1 - and accounts for voltage rise at higher currents per Micro Note 202. Derating is required above 60°C TAB temperature.
How is the cathode identified on the 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 is designated by TAB 1, which is the larger metallic tab on the package bottom. This tab serves as both the cathode electrical connection and the primary thermal conduction path. The anode is connected to Lead 2, the smaller side terminal.
Does 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 meet any industry-standard ESD specifications?
Yes, the 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as verified in the MSC0995 datasheet. This level of robustness supports direct handling and integration into systems exposed to routine electrostatic discharge without requiring additional protection circuitry.
What is the zener voltage tolerance for standard 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 units?
The standard 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 100 V nominal. Tighter tolerances are available: ±2% with suffix "C" (e.g., 1PMT5949CE3/TR7) and ±1% with suffix "D", both sharing identical thermal and packaging characteristics with the base part.
Is 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5949AE3/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package features a full metallic bottom that ensures uniform heating and eliminates flux entrapment - supporting high-yield, void-free solder joints in automated assembly lines using EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7-inch reel).
