Product details
Overview
1PMT5950A/TR7 from Microsemi is a 110 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 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.4 mA test current and <4000 µA reverse leakage at 83.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5950A/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5950A/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5950A/TR7 application, or 1PMT5950A/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, 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 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 (<4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V) and a defined knee region (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 1500 Ω), enabling stable clamping in low-current protection circuits. Thermal resistance of 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1 supports reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V ±5% at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 300 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field operation |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5950A/TR7?
The 1PMT5950A/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 110 V, measured at IZT = 3.4 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. This tolerance directly impacts the accuracy of overvoltage clamping in safety-critical circuits using the 1PMT5950A/TR7.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5950A/TR7 in high-power operation?
The 1PMT5950A/TR7 relies on TAB 1 as its primary thermal path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. To achieve its full 3.0 W rating, TAB 1 must be soldered to a minimum 100 mm² copper area on the PCB. The Powermite® package's full metallic bottom and locking tab enhance this conduction, making forced-air cooling unnecessary in most industrial applications using the 1PMT5950A/TR7.
Is 1PMT5950A/TR7 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5950A/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic bottom resist warping and flux entrapment. The device ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7-inch reel), ensuring seamless integration into high-speed pick-and-place lines handling the 1PMT5950A/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5950A/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5950A/TR7 is 4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This value reflects worst-case leakage under rated clamping voltage and is critical for low-power standby circuits. At lower voltages (e.g., 50 V), leakage drops below 1 µA-confirming the 1PMT5950A/TR7's suitability for precision bias networks.
Does 1PMT5950A/TR7 meet automotive qualification standards?
The 1PMT5950A/TR7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified as a standalone part, but its construction-150°C max junction temperature, >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and robust Powermite® package-enables successful use in automotive body control modules after system-level validation. Customers applying the 1PMT5950A/TR7 in automotive contexts should perform board-level stress testing per ISO 16750 and ISO 7637-2.
