Product details
Overview
1PMT5951AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 120 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 380 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.1 mA test current and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power derating above 60°C, reverse leakage at 91.2 V, knee current (0.25 mA), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom to prevent solder flux entrapment and a locking tab that functions as an integral heat sink, enabling reliable thermal transfer during high-power transient clamping.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with Zener voltage measured 20 seconds after applying DC test current; dynamic impedance is derived using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT, per Micro Note 202 for voltage-current deviation analysis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±5% at IZT = 3.1 mA - sets precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - defines maximum continuous steady-state power handling before thermal shutdown |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω at IZT = 3.1 mA - determines regulation stiffness under small-signal AC variations |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to achieve stable Zener conduction near breakdown |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤4500 µA at VR = 91.2 V - limits standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables thermal design margin calculation for PCB copper pad area and layout |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures robustness against human-body electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5951AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 120 V nominal, measured at IZT = 3.1 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts accuracy in voltage reference and overvoltage detection circuits using the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance of 1PMT5951AE3/TR7?
The Powermite® package enhances thermal performance of the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 via its integral heat-sink locking tab and full metallic bottom, achieving a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W. This allows efficient heat transfer to the PCB copper plane, supporting full 3.0 W power dissipation only when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C - critical for sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures where the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 is commonly deployed.
Is 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 compatible with EIA-481 tape-and-reel standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 is packaged per EIA Standard 481 in 7-inch reels containing 3,000 units, enabling seamless integration into automated pick-and-place equipment. The Powermite® package geometry and tape pocket dimensions conform precisely to EIA-481 specifications, ensuring reliable feeding and placement - a key requirement for high-yield SMT lines using the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 at 91.2 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 is 4500 µA at VR = 91.2 V, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This value defines the upper bound of off-state current in voltage-clamp configurations and directly affects power loss in high-impedance bias networks where the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 serves as a reference element.
Can 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 is qualified for automotive applications requiring robust overvoltage protection, including battery monitoring and load-dump suppression, due to its -55°C to +150°C junction/storage temperature range, >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and stable Zener characteristics under thermal cycling. Its Powermite® package supports automated assembly in Tier-1 automotive electronics production where the 1PMT5951AE3/TR7 is deployed for system-level voltage clamping.
