Product details
Overview
1PMT5949E3/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 1PMT5949E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5949E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5949E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5949E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
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 (≤3100 µA at VR = 76 V) and a defined knee region (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 800 Ω), enabling stable clamping performance even under light-load conditions typical in sensor biasing and reference circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at IZT = 3.7 mA - defines nominal clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with heatsink tab |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 250 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal AC perturbation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3100 µA at VR = 76 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables thermal design using TAB as primary heat path to PCB copper |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robustness in handling and board-level ESD events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | Same 100 V nominal voltage 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 only if through-hole assembly is mandated and higher power margin is needed |
| BZX84-C100 | SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; ±5% tolerance; 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W dissipation | Choose for space-constrained signal conditioning where power stress is negligible |
Compared with 1N5365B and BZX84-C100, the 1PMT5949E3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power handling, and low thermal resistance (30°C/W) - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial clamping where thermal management and automated assembly are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5949E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5949E3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 100 V nominal, measured at IZT = 3.7 mA with TAB 1 temperature held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base 1PMT5949E3/TR7 uses the standard ±5% grade.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5949E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5949E3/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal conduction path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. Effective thermal design requires connecting TAB 1 to a large PCB copper area to dissipate up to 3.0 W at TAB temperature ≤60°C - no external heatsink is needed if PCB layout provides adequate copper mass.
Can 1PMT5949E3/TR7 be used in place of through-hole Zeners like 1N5365B?
No - the 1PMT5949E3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5365B due to different packages (Powermite® SMT vs. DO-41 through-hole), pinout, and thermal interface. While both have 100 V nominal zener voltage, the 1PMT5949E3/TR7 requires SMT reflow and relies on TAB 1 for thermal transfer, whereas 1N5365B uses lead-frame conduction.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5949E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5949E3/TR7 is 3100 µA at VR = 76 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects worst-case leakage under rated reverse voltage and ensures predictable clamping behavior in high-impedance bias networks.
Is 1PMT5949E3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT placement equipment?
Yes - the 1PMT5949E3/TR7 is explicitly designed for compatibility with automatic insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab and full metallic bottom that prevent solder flux entrapment and ensure stable positioning during pick-and-place and reflow processes.
