Product details
Overview
1PMT5949BE3/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 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, low knee impedance (≤400 Ω), ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
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 from junction to PCB via TAB 1, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤3100 µA at VR = 76 V) and stable dynamic impedance (250 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA), enabling reliable clamping in transient-suppression circuits and stable reference generation where temperature drift and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at IZT = 3.7 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient absorption without derating in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation in regulation circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3100 µA at VR = 76 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on protection paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - supports direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink pad on PCB |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling immunity during SMT assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ100A | TVS diode (unidirectional), 100 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, higher clamping voltage (137 V) | Designed for high-energy transient suppression (IEC 61000-4-5), not precision regulation | Select for surge-only protection; avoid where stable DC reference or low-impedance clamping is required |
| BZX84-C100 | SOT-23 Zener, 100 V ±5%, 300 mW power rating, 600 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Limited thermal capacity; unsuitable for sustained 3 W dissipation or high-current clamping | Use only in low-power signal-level references; requires significant derating above 70°C ambient |
Compared with SMCJ100A and BZX84-C100, the 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 uniquely combines 3.0 W continuous dissipation, 250 Ω dynamic impedance, and DO-216-compatible thermal design-making it the only option among the three capable of both precision regulation and robust transient clamping in space-constrained industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5949BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes proper thermal design-specifically, soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper area on the PCB. Derating is required above 60°C tab temperature per the device's 30°C/W thermal resistance specification.
How is cathode polarity identified on the 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 is designated by TAB 1-the large metallic tab on the package underside. This is confirmed in the MSC0995.PDF mechanical specifications and must be connected to the more positive node in reverse-bias operation. The anode is the smaller lead (Lead 2), electrically isolated from the tab.
Does 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 meet automotive AEC-Q200 stress testing requirements?
The 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature and has >16 kV HBM ESD rating, Microsemi's official qualification data for this part does not include AEC-Q200 test reports. For automotive applications, validation per AEC-Q200 must be performed by the end customer or confirmed via Microchip's qualified automotive-grade equivalents.
What is the zener test current (IZT) and why is it important for 1PMT5949BE3/TR7?
The zener test current for 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 is 3.7 mA, defined in the electrical characteristics table. This current establishes the condition under which the 100 V ±5% zener voltage is guaranteed. Operating significantly above or below IZT alters VZ due to dynamic impedance and temperature effects-so stable regulation requires maintaining current near this value in reference designs.
Can 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 be used as a replacement for through-hole 1N5949B?
No-1PMT5949BE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5949B. Although both share identical zener voltage (100 V) and tolerance, the 1PMT5949BE3/TR7 uses the surface-mount Powermite® (DO-216) package with TAB-1 cathode, while 1N5949B is axial-lead DO-41. PCB layout, thermal design, and assembly process differ fundamentally; no pin-to-pin or footprint compatibility exists.
