Product details
Overview
1PMT5950E3/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 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1 and 16 kV HBM ESD rating - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5950E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5950E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5950E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5950E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), dynamic impedance (300 Ω @ 3.4 mA), knee current (0.25 mA), reverse leakage (≤4000 µA @ 83.6 V), and thermal performance under sustained power dissipation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, leveraging silicon PN-junction avalanche breakdown at 110 V nominal. Its design targets stable regulation under variable load and temperature, supported by low dynamic impedance (300 Ω) and tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA).
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that serves as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to TAB 1 with verified 30°C/W thermal resistance - critical for maintaining VZ stability during 3.0 W continuous operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 110 V ±5% at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines primary regulation threshold with predictable deviation across temperature and life. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 300 Ω @ IZT - determines output voltage variation under small-signal current changes; lower value improves regulation fidelity. |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter stable Zener conduction region; critical for low-power biasing circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W (junction to TAB 1) - quantifies thermal path efficiency; enables PCB copper area sizing for thermal management. |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures robustness against human-body-model electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal and electrical connection point; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal management and circuit return path. |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; reverse-biased configuration places this node at lower potential relative to TAB 1 during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling previously limited to larger through-hole packages. |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Acts as both mechanical retention feature and low-thermal-resistance path from junction to PCB, reducing thermal stress under sustained load. |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during reflow, improving long-term reliability and intermetallic bond integrity. |
| 16 kV HBM ESD rating | Provides inherent protection against common handling-induced electrostatic events without requiring external TVS components. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5950B | Same 110 V, ±5% VZ and 3.0 W rating, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; thermal resistance ~65°C/W. | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated insertion. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal margin via heatsink mounting is preferred. |
| SMBJ110A | TVS diode with 110 V standoff voltage and 600 W peak pulse power; not a regulated Zener - exhibits higher leakage and looser voltage tolerance (±5% min, ±10% typical). | Designed for transient suppression only; cannot replace 1PMT5950E3/TR7 in precision regulation roles. | Select only for surge-only protection; avoid where stable DC regulation or low dynamic impedance is required. |
Compared with 1N5950B and SMBJ110A, the 1PMT5950E3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and 300 Ω dynamic impedance - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding Zener regulation tasks where precision and manufacturability are co-priorities.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5950E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5950E3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 110 V nominal, measured at test current IZT = 3.4 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5950E3/TR7 in PCB layout?
Thermal management for 1PMT5950E3/TR7 relies on soldering TAB 1 - the cathode terminal - directly to a PCB copper pour. With a junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W, adequate copper area (≥250 mm² recommended) is required to maintain TAB temperature ≤60°C under 3.0 W dissipation, per the datasheet's derating curve.
Can 1PMT5950E3/TR7 be used in place of a through-hole Zener like 1N5950B?
No - while 1PMT5950E3/TR7 and 1N5950B share identical electrical specs (110 V, ±5%, 3.0 W), they differ fundamentally in package and thermal behavior. The 1PMT5950E3/TR7 uses Powermite® SMT packaging with 30°C/W thermal resistance and metallic bottom; 1N5950B uses DO-41 with ~65°C/W. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign and thermal validation.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that 1PMT5950E3/TR7 can withstand before breakdown?
The maximum reverse voltage VR for 1PMT5950E3/TR7 is 83.6 V - the voltage below which reverse leakage remains ≤4000 µA. Operation above this voltage enters the Zener breakdown region; the device is designed to regulate stably at its nominal 110 V VZ only when biased above VR and within its power and current limits.
Does 1PMT5950E3/TR7 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - the 1PMT5950E3/TR7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates across -55°C to +150°C and offers 16 kV HBM ESD protection, Microsemi's official qualification documentation does not list AEC-Q200 compliance for this part. Automotive designs requiring AEC-Q200 should verify alternate qualified Zener options.
