Product details
Overview
1PMT5953E3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 150 V, ±5% tolerance surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 temperature of 60°C, with 600 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.5 mA test current and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5953E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5953E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5953E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5953E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability under thermal stress, low reverse leakage (<1 µA at 114 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 single-element, unidirectional Zener diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with VZ measured 20 seconds after DC current application; dynamic impedance (ZZT) is derived using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT, and maximum reverse current IR is specified at VR = 114 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 150 V ±5% at IZT = 2.5 mA - sets precise clamping level for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-power regulation without external heatsink in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 600 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA - indicates moderate voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 114 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - supports thermal management via PCB copper pour connected to TAB 1 |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling in automated manufacturing environments |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - suitable for extended industrial and aerospace ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
The 1PMT5953E3/TR7 uses a 2-terminal Powermite® surface-mount package (DO-216 outline) with molded body and full metallic bottom. Cathode is designated by TAB 1; mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat path and voltage reference node; must be connected to thermal pad on PCB |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Current entry point during forward bias; electrically isolated from TAB 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Mechanically anchors device while conducting heat directly from junction to PCB copper |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during reflow, improving long-term solder joint reliability |
| Automated insertion compatibility | Designed for pick-and-place and reflow processes per EIA-481 tape-and-reel standard |
| Low reverse leakage | <1 µA at 76% of VZ (114 V) - maintains accuracy in high-impedance voltage reference chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ150A | TVS diode (not Zener); 150 V standoff, 3.0 kW peak pulse power, higher capacitance | Transient suppression only - not suitable for continuous regulation or reference use | Select only for surge-only protection; not interchangeable for voltage reference or bias functions |
| 1N5375B | Through-hole DO-201AD package; same 150 V/3 W rating but 65°C/W thermal resistance and no metallic bottom | Requires larger PCB footprint and lacks flux-trap-free assembly benefit | Prefer when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated or thermal constraints permit higher RθJA |
Compared with SMCJ150A and 1N5375B, the 1PMT5953E3/TR7 uniquely combines surface-mount compatibility, 30°C/W thermal performance, and true Zener regulation capability - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, continuously biased applications.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5953E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5953E3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 150 V nominal, measured at 2.5 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5953E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5953E3/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal path, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. Effective cooling requires direct connection of TAB 1 to a large copper pour on the PCB - the full metallic bottom and locking tab design maximize conduction while eliminating flux entrapment risks during reflow.
Is 1PMT5953E3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5953E3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated SMT assembly. It ships in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (7-inch reel, 3,000 pieces), and its Powermite® package geometry supports reliable pick-and-place and reflow soldering without tombstoning or misalignment.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5953E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5953E3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 114 V (76% of nominal VZ), tested at TL = 30°C. This low IR value ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference and bias networks.
Does 1PMT5953E3/TR7 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5953E3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD standard. This high immunity level supports robust handling during board assembly and field service without requiring additional ESD protection circuitry.
