Product details
Overview
1PMT5950B/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 max reverse leakage at 83.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5950B/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5950B/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5950B/TR7 application, or 1PMT5950B/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heatsinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - critical for industrial power rail protection and automotive body control modules.
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 ensure low thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1) and reliable solder joint formation without flux entrapment.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (≤4000 Ω at IZK = 1 mA) and stable Zener voltage under transient conditions, validated per Microsemi Note 202 for voltage drift versus current deviation. Reverse leakage remains ≤4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V, supporting robust hold-off performance in crowbar circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V ±5% at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 120 V AC-derived rails |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables compact board-level surge suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 300 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load transients in feedback networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance sensing paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for sustained 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides intrinsic handling robustness during SMT assembly and field deployment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ110A | TVS diode (unidirectional), 110 V standoff, 1500 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (150 pF) | Designed for transient suppression only; not suitable for precision DC regulation | Select when surge energy exceeds 3 W continuous dissipation but DC regulation is not required |
| 1N5375B | Through-hole 110 V Zener, 5 W rating, DO-201AD package, no integrated heatsink tab | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (50°C/W), requires external heatsinking for 3 W operation | Select when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated and board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with SMCJ110A and 1N5375B, the 1PMT5950B/TR7 uniquely combines surface-mount compatibility, integrated thermal management via metallic tab, and precision DC regulation capability - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability DC clamp and reference designs where both steady-state accuracy and transient resilience matter.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5950B/TR7?
The 1PMT5950B/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 110 V nominal, measured at IZT = 3.4 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, respectively, but the base 1PMT5950B/TR7 uses the ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and clamp circuits.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5950B/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5950B/TR7 uses Microsemi's Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as the primary thermal path. Its junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB copper. For reliable 3.0 W operation, TAB 1 must be soldered to a thermally robust pad with adequate copper area and vias.
Can 1PMT5950B/TR7 be used in place of a through-hole Zener like 1N5375B?
The 1PMT5950B/TR7 is not a direct drop-in replacement for 1N5375B due to differing packages (DO-216 vs. DO-201AD), thermal paths, and mounting methods. While both are 110 V Zeners, the 1PMT5950B/TR7 relies on TAB 1 for heatsinking and requires SMT layout optimization. PCB redesign is necessary to accommodate its surface-mount footprint and thermal pad requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5950B/TR7 at rated voltage?
At VR = 83.6 V (76% of nominal 110 V), the 1PMT5950B/TR7 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 4000 µA. This value ensures sufficient margin before reaching the Zener breakdown region and is critical for minimizing standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks where the 1PMT5950B/TR7 is used as a reference.
Is the 1PMT5950B/TR7 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance?
The 1PMT5950B/TR7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it meets industrial temperature range (-55°C to +150°C) and offers >16 kV HBM ESD robustness, formal automotive qualification requires additional stress testing and documentation. For AEC-Q200-compliant alternatives, consult Microchip's automotive-grade Zener portfolio - the 1PMT5950B/TR7 is intended for industrial and telecom use cases.
