Product details
Overview
1PMT5951BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 120 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in Powermite® surface-mount 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. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (±5%), low reverse leakage (<1 µA at 91.2 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and thermal performance enabled by the full-metallic bottom and integral heat sink tab.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a metallic heat-sink tab (TAB 1) as cathode terminal, enabling direct thermal coupling to PCB copper and supporting 3.0 W power handling without external heatsinking.
The device exhibits tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 4500 Ω) and low forward voltage (1.2 V @ 200 mA), allowing bidirectional use in protection circuits. Zener voltage is specified at TL = 30°C with 20-second stabilization after DC current application per Micro Note 202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±5% at IZT = 3.1 mA - defines clamping threshold in overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω at IZT - determines voltage regulation stability under dynamic load changes |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows accurate thermal design using PCB copper area as heatsink |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 91.2 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robust handling during automated SMT assembly and field operation |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - specifies minimum current for stable regulation onset, critical for low-power sensing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5951B | Same 120 V, ±5%, 3.0 W rating but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic tab or thermal optimization | Lacks integrated heat sink; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts requiring thermal management | Select 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 when board space and thermal performance are constrained |
| SMBJ120A | TVS diode with 120 V standoff, 136.8 V breakdown, 600 W peak pulse power - not a regulated Zener | Designed for transient suppression only; no stable DC regulation capability | Choose 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 for precision voltage reference; SMBJ120A only for surge-only protection |
Compared with 1N5951B and SMBJ120A, the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 uniquely combines precise DC voltage regulation, SMT-compatible thermal design, and ESD-hardened construction - making it irreplaceable where stable reference + thermal reliability + automated assembly coexist.

FAQ
What is the cathode identification method for 1PMT5951BE3/TR7?
The cathode of the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 is designated by TAB 1, which is the full metallic bottom surface and primary thermal interface. This is confirmed in the mechanical specifications section of MSC0995.PDF and applies identically to all devices in the 1PMT5913B–1PMT5956B family including the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7.
Does 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 support automatic optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes, the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7's molded Powermite® package with consistent lead geometry and high-contrast marking (951) supports standard AOI systems. Its DO-216AA footprint and absence of solder wicking into the package body ensure reliable solder joint inspection without false negatives.
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage that can be applied to 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 without breakdown?
The maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown is 91.2 V, defined as the reverse voltage (VR) at which IR ≤ 1 µA. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for 1PMT5951B and applies directly to the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 variant per family-wide documentation.
How does the thermal resistance of 30°C/W affect PCB layout for 1PMT5951BE3/TR7?
The 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance requires direct thermal connection of TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour on the PCB. Without this, the 3.0 W rating cannot be sustained. Layout guidelines in MSC0995.PDF specify mounting pad dimensions optimized for this thermal path in the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7.
Is 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements?
Yes, the 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 is RoHS-compliant and REACH-conformant. Microsemi's REV F documentation (11/01/99) predates mandatory RoHS, but Microchip Technology's current product change notices confirm legacy Powermite® devices including 1PMT5951BE3/TR7 meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
