Product details
Overview
1PMT5952A/TR7 from Microsemi is a 130 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 450 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.9 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 1PMT5952A/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5952A/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5952A/TR7 application, or 1PMT5952A/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, power derating above 60°C, reverse leakage at 104 V, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with sharp knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 5000 Ω), enabling stable regulation even under low-current standby conditions. Its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab provide direct thermal conduction to the PCB pad, supporting reliable 3.0 W operation when mounted on ≥1 sq-in copper area.
The 1PMT5952A/TR7 exhibits low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 104 V) and tight voltage stability across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling and long-term drift are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±5% at IZT = 2.9 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with predictable deviation under load and temperature |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - requires thermal design with adequate copper area to maintain safe junction temperature |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 450 Ω at IZT = 2.9 mA - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 5000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates regulation onset threshold for low-current biasing applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 104 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance sensing or standby circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables thermal modeling for PCB pad sizing and reliability prediction |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports handling and assembly without external protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; DO-216 outline; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal path and electrical cathode connection - must be soldered to ≥1 sq-in copper pour for rated 3.0 W operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF130A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 130 V nominal, 1.0 W rating, SOD-123 package, 1000 Ω ZZT at 1 mA | Limited to lower-power applications; lacks metallic thermal path and 3.0 W capability | Select when board space is constrained but thermal load <1.0 W and automated assembly compatibility is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5952A/TR7?
The 1PMT5952A/TR7 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 temperature is maintained at 60°C. Derating is required above this temperature at 30 mW/°C based on its 30°C/W thermal resistance. Operation beyond this limit risks irreversible junction damage or parametric shift. Always verify PCB copper area and airflow in final layout to sustain 1PMT5952A/TR7 performance.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance compared to standard SOD-123 Zeners?
The 1PMT5952A/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that provides direct thermal conduction from the silicon junction to the PCB copper pour. This achieves 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance - roughly 40% better than typical SOD-123 Zeners - enabling reliable 3.0 W operation where conventional packages would thermally saturate.
Is 1PMT5952A/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5952A/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its molded package and metallic terminations withstand peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds. The full metallic bottom also minimizes voiding risk during reflow, improving thermal interface consistency versus plastic-bodied alternatives.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5952A/TR7 at 104 V?
The 1PMT5952A/TR7 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA at VR = 104 V and TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks and maintains regulation accuracy in precision reference applications - especially critical in battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where quiescent current directly impacts runtime.
Does 1PMT5952A/TR7 have a defined polarity marking, and how is cathode identified?
Yes, the 1PMT5952A/TR7 cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, which is the larger metallic surface on the package bottom. No separate band or dot marking is used - correct orientation requires aligning TAB 1 to the cathode pad on the PCB. Misorientation results in forward conduction and catastrophic failure under applied voltage.
