Product details
Overview
1PMT5950B 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 industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5950B datasheet, 1PMT5950B pinout, 1PMT5950B application, or 1PMT5950B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - all critical for ruggedized 24–48 V system protection designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range (IZT = 3.4 mA). Its thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 enables stable operation under sustained 3.0 W dissipation when mounted on a thermally adequate PCB pad.
The device features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serve dual roles: eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow and acting as a primary heat sink path. Cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1 per mechanical specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V ±5% at IZT = 3.4 mA - defines clamping threshold in overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous energy handling with proper board-level thermal design |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 300 Ω at IZT = 3.4 mA - determines voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 4000 µA max at VR = 83.6 V - constrains standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt, guiding heatsinking requirements |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures robustness against handling and system-level electrostatic events |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat sink interface and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; electrically isolated from TAB 1; used for circuit connection and mounting orientation flexibility |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W capability in footprint smaller than traditional DO-41 or DO-15 |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during assembly, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| Integral locking tab (TAB 1) | Serves as both cathode terminal and primary thermal conduction path - reduces junction-to-PCB thermal resistance |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Provides inherent robustness against human-body-model discharge without requiring external protection components |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Telecom Line Card Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback or forward converters using optocoupler-coupled feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener reference providing stable 110 V reference for TL431-like error amplifier biasing. Use Value: Maintains ±5% output regulation across line/load/temperature with low 300 Ω dynamic impedance minimizing loop gain variation. | Use Scenario: Protecting 48 V DC distribution rails in telecom shelf systems from transient surges (e.g., lightning-induced). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt clamp limiting rail voltage to 110 V before downstream TVS activation. Use Value: Handles 3.0 W surge energy without degradation, leveraging metallic tab for rapid thermal dissipation into chassis ground. |
| Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Reference | Renewable Energy Inverter DC-Link Monitor |
Use Scenario: Providing stable high-voltage reference for ADC input scaling in programmable DC source modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift Zener element establishing known 110 V reference point for calibration routines. Use Value: Tight 5% tolerance and low reverse leakage (<4000 µA) ensure measurement accuracy and minimal loading on sensing dividers. | Use Scenario: Monitoring 100–120 V DC-link voltage in solar microinverters to trigger overvoltage shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage threshold detector interfaced with comparator input via resistive divider. Use Value: Reliable 110 V clamping with >16 kV HBM ESD immunity prevents false trips during field deployment in harsh environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5375B | Same 110 V nominal Zener voltage, but in DO-15 package with 5.0 W rating and higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) | Requires larger PCB footprint and more copper area for equivalent thermal performance | Choose when higher power margin is needed and board space allows axial-lead or larger SMD packages |
| BZX84-C110 | 110 V Zener in SOT-23 package, rated 300 mW only, with 500 Ω typical ZZT and no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 3.0 W energy absorption | Choose only for low-current bias/reference use where thermal constraints prohibit Powermite® mounting |
Compared with 1N5375B and BZX84-C110, the 1PMT5950B uniquely delivers 3.0 W dissipation in a compact surface-mount form with direct metal-tab thermal conduction - making it the only option among the three capable of sustained high-energy clamping in space-constrained industrial power designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5950B?
The 1PMT5950B 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% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base 1PMT5950B part carries the ±5% specification per MSC0995 Rev F datasheet.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5950B?
The 1PMT5950B relies on its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal conduction path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. To achieve its rated 3.0 W dissipation, TAB 1 must be soldered to a sufficiently sized copper pad with thermal vias - unlike plastic-packaged Zeners, it does not rely solely on lead-frame conduction.
Is 1PMT5950B compatible with standard reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5950B is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package features a full metallic bottom and molded construction that withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C, and its compatibility with automatic insertion equipment is explicitly confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5950B?
The 1PMT5950B has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 4000 µA at VR = 83.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MSC0995 datasheet. This value is measured at TL = 30°C and defines the upper bound of off-state current in clamping or reference applications.
Does 1PMT5950B have polarity marking, and how is cathode identified?
Yes, the 1PMT5950B cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1 per the Mechanical Characteristics section of MSC0995. The device uses a DO-216 outline with TAB 1 serving as both the cathode terminal and thermal interface - no additional band or marking is required, simplifying automated optical inspection.
