Product details
Overview
1PMT5951E3/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 thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5951E3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5951E3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5951E3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5951E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, power derating at elevated tab temperature, reverse leakage at 91.2 V, knee current behavior at 0.25 mA, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring external series current limiting. 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 1PMT5951E3/TR13 exhibits 4500 µA max reverse leakage at VR = 91.2 V and maintains tight voltage stability across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with ESD rating >16 kV HBM - critical for industrial control I/O protection and automotive body electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±5% at IZT = 3.1 mA, TC = 30°C - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with PCB thermal relief |
| Dynamic Impedance | 380 Ω at IZT = 3.1 mA - determines output voltage variation under small-signal current changes |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter stable zener breakdown region |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 4500 µA max 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 using tab as primary heat path to PCB |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robustness in unshielded industrial sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package

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 in DO-41 through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (65°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when board space permits through-hole mounting and higher continuous power is required |
| BZX84-C120 | 120 V SOT-23 Zener; 300 mW rating; 100 Ω dynamic impedance; no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot handle 3.0 W transient surges | Select only for low-current reference applications where thermal performance is non-critical |
Compared with 1N5375B and BZX84-C120, the 1PMT5951E3/TR13 uniquely combines 3.0 W SMT power handling, 30°C/W thermal resistance via TAB 1, and >16 kV ESD rating - making it the only option suitable for ruggedized, high-density, thermally constrained industrial power regulation.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5951E3/TR13?
The 1PMT5951E3/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 120 V nominal, measured at 3.1 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3 suffix indicates the standard ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback networks.
How is thermal management implemented for 1PMT5951E3/TR13?
Thermal management for 1PMT5951E3/TR13 relies on TAB 1 as the primary heat conduction path: the full metallic bottom transfers heat directly to PCB copper, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. Designers must connect TAB 1 to a thermal pad with ≥4 thermal vias to internal ground planes to sustain 3.0 W dissipation at 60°C tab temperature.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5951E3/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix in 1PMT5951E3/TR13 specifies packaging in 13-inch tape-and-reel per EIA-481 standard, containing 12,000 units per reel. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports large-volume automated assembly - distinct from the 7-inch reel (TR7) option holding 3,000 units.
Can 1PMT5951E3/TR13 be used in place of a through-hole 1N5375B?
No - although both have 120 V zener voltage, the 1PMT5951E3/TR13 is a surface-mount Powermite® device with TAB 1 cathode and 3.0 W rating, while the 1N5375B is a through-hole DO-41 diode rated for 5 W. They differ in package, thermal path, pinout, and mounting method; direct substitution requires PCB layout revision and thermal redesign.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5951E3/TR13 at 91.2 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5951E3/TR13 is 4500 µA at reverse voltage VR = 91.2 V and TL = 30°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and defines the upper bound of standby current in bias networks - critical for low-power sensor interface designs where leakage could shift operating points.
