Product details
Overview
1PMT5951/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 19.8 mA maximum Zener current. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5951/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5951/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5951/TR7 application, or 1PMT5951/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 120 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 DC-DC regulation and transient protection designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation. Its cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, and it achieves thermal management through direct conduction from junction to full metallic bottom (TAB 1), yielding 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance.
The 1PMT5951/TR7 is characterized at TL = 30°C with IZT = 3.1 mA, VZ = 120 V, ZZT = 380 Ω, IZK = 0.25 mA, and IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 91.2 V. It complies with EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±5% at IZT = 3.1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 110–130 V system rails |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient absorption without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal voltage shift under load current variation in feedback networks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 91.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows accurate thermal derating when mounted on copper pour or chassis |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field operation |
| Package | DO-216 (Powermite®) - surface-mount footprint with integral heat-sinking tab and flux-free metallic base |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-216 (Powermite®) - molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom (TAB 1) acting as cathode terminal and primary thermal path. Dimensions conform to Microsemi mechanical drawing MSC0995, all tolerances ±0.005 inches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary current return path and thermal interface; must be soldered to ≥1 cm² copper for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; electrically isolated from TAB 1; used for forward bias or series configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | TAB 1 functions as both cathode and low-thermal-resistance path to PCB copper, eliminating need for secondary thermal vias |
| Full metallic bottom | Prevents solder flux entrapment during reflow, ensuring reliable void-free solder joints and long-term interconnect integrity |
| Automated insertion compatibility | EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (7″/3,000 pcs) supports high-speed pick-and-place without manual handling or orientation errors |
| High ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating reduces risk of latent damage during handling, testing, and end-equipment integration |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Telecom Line Card Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback converters where primary-side sensing requires stable Zener reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference element in TL431-like shunt regulator topologies. Use Value: 120 V Zener voltage matches common 110 VAC-derived bus rails; ±5% tolerance ensures consistent loop gain across production units. | Use Scenario: Protecting line interface ICs from lightning-induced surges on -48 V telecom distribution buses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby overvoltage clamp that conducts only above safe rail threshold. Use Value: 3.0 W power rating absorbs multi-millisecond transients; DO-216 package fits dense line-card layouts without compromising creepage. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Input Protection | Medical Equipment Battery Backup Supervisor |
Use Scenario: Clamping 12 V/24 V battery rail spikes caused by load dump or alternator switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary passive overvoltage suppression device upstream of LDOs and microcontrollers. Use Value: -55°C to +150°C operating range meets AEC-Q101 ambient requirements; metallic tab ensures thermal stability during repeated surge events. | Use Scenario: Monitoring backup battery voltage in infusion pumps or diagnostic analyzers to trigger low-battery alerts before shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reference node in comparator-based undervoltage detection circuit. Use Value: Low 1 µA reverse leakage preserves battery life over months of standby; tight 5% VZ tolerance avoids false triggers across temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ120A | TVS diode (unidirectional), 120 V breakdown, 1500 W peak pulse power, higher clamping voltage (~165 V) | Designed for fast transient suppression (8/20 µs), not precision DC regulation | Select for surge immunity; avoid where stable DC reference or low dynamic impedance is required |
| 1N5388B | Through-hole 120 V Zener, 5 W, DO-201AD package, 300 Ω ZZT, no integrated thermal tab | Larger footprint, lower power density, less suitable for automated SMT lines | Select for legacy through-hole designs or higher continuous power needs; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with SMCJ120A and 1N5388B, the 1PMT5951/TR7 uniquely combines SMT manufacturability, 3.0 W DC power handling via TAB 1 thermal path, and 380 Ω dynamic impedance - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained, precision-regulation applications rather than surge-only or through-hole use cases.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5951/TR7?
The 1PMT5951/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 120 V nominal, measured at IZT = 3.1 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the /TR7 variant ships with standard ±5%.
How is thermal performance managed in the 1PMT5951/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5951/TR7 uses its full metallic bottom (TAB 1) as both cathode and primary thermal conduction path, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. For full 3.0 W dissipation, TAB 1 must be soldered to ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with thermal vias - verified in Microsemi's MSC0995 thermal characterization.
Is 1PMT5951/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5951/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic tab ensure mechanical integrity and solder joint reliability under standard Pb-free thermal profiles.
What does the "/TR7" suffix indicate for 1PMT5951/TR7?
The "/TR7" suffix denotes EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel packaging on a 7-inch reel containing 3,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and ensures consistent orientation (cathode TAB 1 facing outward) per Microsemi's packaging specification MSC0995.
Can 1PMT5951/TR7 be used in place of a 1N5388B in existing designs?
No - while both are 120 V Zeners, the 1PMT5951/TR7 is a surface-mount DO-216 device with integral thermal tab, whereas the 1N5388B is through-hole DO-201AD. They differ in package, thermal path, mounting method, and power derating curves; redesign of pad layout and thermal management is required for substitution.
