Product details
Overview
1PMT5949BE3/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 thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and ESD-protected signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W power handling in a DO-216 outline, low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at 76 V), ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and heat sink, enabling efficient thermal transfer from junction to PCB via TAB 1.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation with 250 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 3.7 mA and maintains ≤1 µA reverse leakage up to 76 V, supporting reliable clamping in transient suppression and reference applications across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5949BRLG | Same 100 V nominal Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in axial DO-41 package with higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) | Limited to lower-power or through-hole designs; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Choose when legacy board design requires axial leaded replacement or thermal constraints allow higher RθJA |
| BZX84-C100LT1G | 100 V Zener in SOT-23 package, rated 300 mW only; dynamic impedance 500 Ω at 5 mA | Not suitable for 3 W surge clamping; intended for low-current bias/reference use | Select only for space-constrained low-power reference roles where 3.0 W capability is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5949BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 100 V nominal, measured at 3.7 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts voltage regulation accuracy in reference and clamping applications.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as the primary thermal path. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, meaning effective heat transfer requires direct connection of TAB 1 to a large copper pour or heatsink on the PCB. This design eliminates flux entrapment and enhances reliability over conventional SMT diodes.
Can 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 be used in bidirectional ESD protection?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode on TAB 1. For bidirectional ESD protection, it must be paired with a second diode in series opposition or used in conjunction with a dedicated bidirectional TVS array. Its >16 kV HBM rating applies only in the reverse-biased (Zener) direction; forward conduction is limited to 1.2 V at 200 mA and not rated for ESD clamping.
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for 1PMT5949BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 begins controlled Zener breakdown at its nominal 100 V rating, with guaranteed regulation starting at 76 V (VR max). Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to 76 V; beyond this, current increases sharply per the Zener characteristic. The absolute maximum non-destructive reverse voltage is defined by its 3.0 W power limit and thermal design-not a fixed voltage ceiling.
Is 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5949BE3/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 rating. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Proper PCB pad design per Microsemi's mounting recommendations-especially thermal relief for TAB 1-is required to ensure void-free solder joints and optimal thermal performance.
