Product details
Overview
1PMT5953/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 = 60°C, with 2.5 mA test current (IZT), 600 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 1 µA max reverse leakage at 120 V (IR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in industrial power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5953/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5953/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5953/TR7 application, or 1PMT5953/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation across variable load and line conditions. Its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab provide low thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1) and reliable heat transfer during sustained 3.0 W dissipation.
The device exhibits tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 6000 Ω) and low reverse leakage (1 µA at VR = 120 V), enabling accurate clamping in high-impedance sensing circuits and robust protection in 24–48 V industrial bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 150 V ±5% at IZT = 2.5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance | 600 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal voltage shift under small-signal current variations |
| Reverse Leakage | 1 µA max at VR = 120 V - supports low-power standby operation and high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct PCB copper pour thermal coupling for sustained power handling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides intrinsic system-level ESD robustness without added protection components |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA - establishes minimum operating current for stable regulation onset |

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, 150 V standoff, 200 W peak pulse power, unidirectional - not a regulated Zener | Designed for transient suppression only; lacks stable DC regulation at low currents | Select when surge energy absorption dominates; avoid where precise DC reference is required |
| BZX84-C150 | SOT-23 Zener, 150 V ±5%, 300 mW - 10× lower power rating, no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot sustain 3.0 W clamping duty cycles | Select for space-constrained signal-level references; avoid in power rail protection |
Compared with SMCJ150A and BZX84-C150, the 1PMT5953/TR7 uniquely combines 150 V Zener regulation, 3.0 W continuous dissipation, and DO-216 thermal design - making it the only option among the three suitable for sustained high-energy clamping in industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5953/TR7?
The 1PMT5953/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 150 V nominal, measured at IZT = 2.5 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the /TR7 variant uses the standard ±5% grade.
Can 1PMT5953/TR7 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5375B?
Yes, the 1PMT5953/TR7 delivers equivalent 150 V, 3.0 W Zener performance in a surface-mount DO-216 package. Its metallic tab provides comparable thermal performance to the axial-lead 1N5375B, and its footprint allows direct replacement in re-designed PCBs - though mechanical mounting and thermal pad layout must match Powermite® requirements.
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for 1PMT5953/TR7?
The 1PMT5953/TR7 begins regulating at its nominal Zener voltage of 150 V, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 142.5 V and 157.5 V (±5%). Its reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to 120 V, and it maintains stable regulation across its specified IZT range without abrupt snapback.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance of 1PMT5953/TR7?
The Powermite® package of the 1PMT5953/TR7 features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that directly contacts the PCB thermal pad, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance. This enables full 3.0 W power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C - significantly exceeding standard SMT Zeners without such thermal design.
Is 1PMT5953/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5953/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic terminals withstand peak temperatures up to 260°C, and the device is supplied in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT assembly.
