Product details
Overview
1PMT5950C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 110 V, ±2% tolerance Zener diode in Powermite® surface-mount package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 30°C/W thermal resistance junction-to-tab and 16 kV HBM ESD rating - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5950C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5950C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5950C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5950C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), dynamic impedance (300 Ω @ 3.4 mA), knee current (0.25 mA), reverse leakage (≤4000 µA @ 83.6 V), and thermal performance in high-density SMT layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package features a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab, enabling efficient thermal conduction from junction to PCB via TAB 1 - critical for sustained 3.0 W operation without derating in compact designs.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V) and tight dynamic impedance (300 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA), supporting stable regulation in feedback loops of switch-mode power supplies and voltage clamp circuits where precision and transient response matter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 110 V ±2% (tight tolerance version denoted by 'C' suffix; ensures stable reference in precision regulation) |
| Test Current | 3.4 mA (IZT; defines operating point for VZ specification and impedance measurement) |
| Dynamic Impedance | 300 Ω @ 3.4 mA (low Zzt enables minimal voltage shift under load variation) |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA (IZK; onset of reliable regulation; supports low-power standby clamping) |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 4000 µA @ 83.6 V (IR max at VR = 0.76×VZ; confirms low off-state power loss) |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 (enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; critical for 3.0 W continuous dissipation) |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM (supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without additional protection) |
Pinout & Package
Powermite® surface-mount package (DO-216 compatible footprint); molded plastic body with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal and electrical connection point; must be soldered to large copper area for heat dissipation and circuit return |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Signal-side connection; routed with controlled trace width to minimize parasitic inductance in clamp paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling in footprint smaller than DO-41 |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term solder joint reliability and thermal interface consistency |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB, reducing thermal resistance by ~40% vs. standard SOD-123 |
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference circuits; supports tighter system-level accuracy budgets |
| 16 kV HBM ESD rating | Allows direct integration into unshielded industrial control inputs without external TVS or RC filtering |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Clamp in Motor Drives |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ110CA | TVS diode (bidirectional, 110 V standoff), 1500 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (~100 pF) | Designed for transient suppression (EFT/surge), not precision DC regulation | Select when protecting against lightning-induced surges; avoid for reference or biasing roles due to leakage and tolerance drift |
| BZX84-C110 | SOT-23 Zener, 110 V ±5%, 300 mW, 500 Ω Zzt, no metallic thermal pad | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous current | Choose only for space-constrained logic-level interfaces; cannot replace 1PMT5950C/TR7 in 3.0 W power regulation |
Compared with SMCJ110CA and BZX84-C110, the 1PMT5950C/TR7 uniquely combines ±2% DC voltage tolerance, 3.0 W continuous dissipation, and low-thermal-resistance metal-tab packaging - making it suitable for precision, high-power Zener applications where regulation stability and thermal management are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5950C/TR7?
The 'C' suffix in 1PMT5950C/TR7 denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 3.4 mA test current and 30°C case temperature. This tighter tolerance than standard ±5% versions (e.g., 1PMT5950B/TR7) improves accuracy in voltage reference and feedback applications without requiring external trimming.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5950C/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5950C/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab (TAB 1). With 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance, effective heat transfer requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour. This design enables full 3.0 W DC power dissipation at 60°C tab temperature.
Is the 1PMT5950C/TR7 suitable for surge protection applications?
The 1PMT5950C/TR7 is optimized for precision DC voltage regulation and steady-state clamping, not high-energy transient suppression. While it can absorb limited repetitive transients, its 3.0 W continuous rating and lack of specified peak pulse power make dedicated TVS diodes like SMAJ110A more appropriate for IEC 61000-4-5 surge events.
What does the '/TR7' suffix indicate in 1PMT5950C/TR7?
The '/TR7' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. This format supports automated SMT placement and ensures consistent orientation (cathode marked by TAB 1) during pick-and-place operations.
Can the 1PMT5950C/TR7 replace older through-hole Zeners like 1N5265B?
Yes, the 1PMT5950C/TR7 provides equivalent 110 V Zener functionality in surface-mount form but with superior thermal performance (30°C/W vs. ~60°C/W for 1N5265B) and tighter tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%). However, PCB layout must accommodate the Powermite® DO-216 footprint and thermal pad - not a drop-in replacement without board revision.
