Product details
Overview
1PMT5951BE3/TR13 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 19.8 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (<1 µA at 91.2 V), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable regulation under transient load conditions.
The device is characterized at TL = 30°C with Zener voltage measured 20 seconds after DC current application, and dynamic impedance derived using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT - confirming stable small-signal behavior in feedback loops and clamp circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±5% at IZT = 3.1 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω at IZT = 3.1 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 91.2 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - enables thermal design using PCB copper area as heatsink |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without added protection |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - allows operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive 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 120 V nominal Zener voltage, but DO-41 through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole assembly and larger board area; better suited for prototyping or low-volume manual builds | Select when legacy board compatibility or higher single-pulse surge capability is prioritized over SMT density |
| SMBJ120A | TVS diode (not Zener); 120 V standoff, 133 V breakdown; 600 W peak pulse power; bidirectional | Designed for transient suppression only - not suitable for DC regulation or biasing due to wide VBR/VWM spread | Select only for surge-only protection; avoid in voltage reference or feedback loop roles where stable DC VZ is required |
Compared with 1N5375B and SMBJ120A, the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 uniquely combines SMT footprint, 3.0 W continuous regulation capability, and tight ±5% VZ tolerance - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally managed DC voltage reference and clamp functions where stable DC behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5951BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 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/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback networks using the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 as a reference.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 in PCB layout?
The 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 relies on TAB 1 as its primary thermal path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. Effective thermal management requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour (2 oz Cu preferred) with multiple thermal vias to inner/ground planes. The full metallic bottom and locking tab of the Powermite® package enhance conduction - without this, the 3.0 W rating cannot be sustained at ambient temperatures above 60°C.
Is 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 is qualified for automotive use with a junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. It meets requirements for under-hood ECU overvoltage clamping and 24 V system protection, provided thermal design accounts for TAB 1 cooling. Its Powermite® package eliminates flux entrapment - a key reliability factor in high-volume automotive SMT lines where the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 is commonly deployed.
What does the "E3/TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5951BE3/TR13?
The "E3" denotes Microsemi's standard ±5% Zener voltage tolerance and RoHS-compliant finish; "TR13" specifies EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging on a 13-inch reel containing 12,000 units. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed automated placement equipment and supports just-in-time manufacturing workflows where the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 is used in volume production of industrial controls and telecom infrastructure.
Can 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 replace older through-hole Zeners like 1N5375B in existing designs?
No direct replacement is possible without PCB redesign: the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 uses a surface-mount Powermite® package with TAB 1 cathode, while the 1N5375B is DO-41 through-hole. Though both have 120 V nominal Zener voltage, differences in thermal resistance (30°C/W vs ~65°C/W), power derating curves, and mounting mechanics mean layout, thermal, and assembly validation is required before substituting the 1PMT5951BE3/TR13 into a legacy 1N5375B design.
