Product details
Overview
1PMT5953C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 150 V, ±1% tolerance Zener diode in the Powermite® surface-mount package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 600 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.5 mA test current and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5953C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5953C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5953C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5953C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 1% voltage tolerance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, full metallic bottom eliminating flux entrapment, and compatibility with automated insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 150 V at 2.5 mA (IZT), exhibiting 600 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 1 μA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 121.6 V (VR). Its knee current (IZK) is 0.25 mA with 8000 Ω knee impedance (ZZK), confirming stable regulation onset.
The device uses a DO-216 molded surface-mount package with cathode designated by TAB 1, full metallic bottom for thermal and assembly reliability, and integral locking tabs acting as heat sinks. Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, supporting industrial and automotive under-hood environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF150A (ON Semiconductor) | 150 V, 1 W, SOD-123 package, 1000 Ω ZZT, no metallic bottom | Limited to lower-power clamping; lacks thermal mass and flux-free assembly advantage | Select when board space is constrained but 3 W dissipation is unnecessary |
| BZX84-C150 (Diodes Inc.) | 150 V, 300 mW, SOT-23, ±5% tolerance, 1500 Ω ZZT | Suitable only for signal-level references; cannot sustain continuous 3 W loads | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current bias networks where precision is secondary |
Compared with SMF150A and BZX84-C150, the 1PMT5953C/TR7 delivers triple the power rating, half the dynamic impedance, and superior thermal management via its metallic bottom-making it the only option qualified for sustained 150 V, 20 mA clamp operation in thermally demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5953C/TR7?
The 1PMT5953C/TR7 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This is tighter than the standard ±5% tolerance of the "B"-suffixed variants like 1PMT5953B. The 150 V nominal voltage is guaranteed between 148.5 V and 151.5 V when measured at IZT = 2.5 mA and TAB 1 temperature = 30°C, per MSC0995 Rev F specifications.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5953C/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5953C/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tabs that act as an efficient heat sink. Its junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling direct conduction of heat into the PCB copper. This design eliminates solder flux entrapment and supports 3.0 W power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C-critical for sustained operation in compact power stages.
Can the 1PMT5953C/TR7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5953C/TR7 is qualified for automotive use with a junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. Its robust DO-216 package, metallic thermal path, and stable 150 V regulation make it suitable for load-dump protection and sensor rail clamping in engine control units and ADAS power domains, provided layout follows Microsemi's thermal pad guidelines.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5953C/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA Standard 481, with 7-inch reels containing 3,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment and ensures consistent orientation (cathode marked by TAB 1) and moisture-sensitive level (MSL) compliance per J-STD-020, supporting automated manufacturing without manual handling.
Is the 1PMT5953C/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5953C/TR7 is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds. Its molded DO-216 package and metallic bottom are rated for JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL 1 conditions. No pre-baking is required, and the full metallic bottom prevents delamination or voiding during thermal cycling.
