Product details
Overview
1PMT5949A/TR13 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 1PMT5949A/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5949A/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5949A/TR13 application, or 1PMT5949A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to the PCB pad, achieving 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (0.25 Ω) and tight regulation at IZK = 1 mA, supporting reliable clamping even at low-current transients. Reverse leakage remains ≤3100 µA up to 76 V, ensuring minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at IZT = 3.7 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 12 V–48 V system protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables sustained operation without external heatsink in compact industrial PCBs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA - ensures <±0.25 V deviation across ±10% current variation near regulation point |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3100 µA at VR = 76 V - minimizes quiescent current in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robust handling during automated assembly and field deployment |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 1 mA - supports stable regulation down to microamp-level standby currents |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5949A/TR13?
The 1PMT5949A/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This requires adequate PCB copper area (≥100 mm²) and airflow; derating applies above 60°C tab temperature per the thermal resistance of 30°C/W specified in the MSC0995 datasheet.
Does 1PMT5949A/TR13 have a defined polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, 1PMT5949A/TR13 uses TAB 1 as the cathode terminal, clearly designated in the mechanical drawing and confirmed in the "Cathode designated by TAB 1" specification. The anode is Lead 2, and polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure proper reverse-bias operation in Zener regulation mode.
What is the Zener test current (IZT) and corresponding dynamic impedance for 1PMT5949A/TR13?
The 1PMT5949A/TR13 has a Zener test current IZT of 3.7 mA, at which its dynamic impedance ZZT is 250 Ω. This value is measured using a 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT, per Note 2 in the MSC0995 datasheet, and defines small-signal regulation performance near the nominal 100 V breakdown point.
Is 1PMT5949A/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, 1PMT5949A/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles including JEDEC J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic tab withstand thermal cycling without delamination or solder joint integrity loss, as verified in Microsemi's qualification reports.
What tolerance options are available for 1PMT5949A/TR13, and how are they marked?
The base 1PMT5949A/TR13 carries ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. Tighter tolerances are available as 1PMT5949C/TR13 (±2%) and 1PMT5949D/TR13 (±1%), with suffixes 'C' and 'D' reflected in both part number and device marking per Note 1 in the MSC0995 datasheet.
