Product details
Overview
1PMT5954BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 160 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 700 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.3 mA test current and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in high-reliability power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (±5%), low reverse leakage (<1 µA at 121.6 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and thermal performance enabled by the full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage reference and clamping element in DC power rails, leveraging its tightly controlled 160 V zener breakdown with 2.3 mA test current and 700 Ω dynamic impedance to maintain stable regulation under varying load conditions. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer through the metallic bottom and locking tab.
The Powermite® package supports automated assembly with flux-free soldering due to its full metallic bottom, while the DO-216 mechanical outline ensures compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. Cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1 per mechanical specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 160 V ±5% at IZT = 2.3 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without derating in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω at IZT = 2.3 mA - indicates moderate regulation stiffness suitable for non-critical reference applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 121.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink via metallic bottom |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), surface-mount molded case with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal - mounted on PCB trace with minimal thermal mass to avoid local heating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, ensuring reliable solder joint integrity and long-term interconnect stability |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB, enabling 3.0 W operation in 3.0 mm × 2.5 mm footprint |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating reduces risk of latent damage during handling and automated assembly |
| Automated insertion compatibility | DO-216 outline and tape-and-reel packaging (EIA-481) support high-speed SMT placement without orientation or feed issues |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5375B | Same 160 V nominal rating but in DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; higher ZZT (1000 Ω) and no metallic thermal base | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge current capability is required |
| BZX84-C160 | 160 V SOT-23 Zener; rated for 300 mW only, ZZT = 1200 Ω, no metallic thermal interface | Limited to low-power bias/reference use; cannot replace 3.0 W clamping function | Use only in space-constrained low-power applications where thermal load is <300 mW |
Compared with 1PMT5954BE3/TR7, 1N5375B offers identical voltage rating but lacks SMT compatibility and thermal efficiency, while BZX84-C160 sacrifices power handling and regulation stiffness for footprint reduction - neither matches the 3.0 W capability and 30°C/W thermal resistance of 1PMT5954BE3/TR7.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5954BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 160 V nominal, measured at 2.3 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%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in voltage reference and clamp circuits using the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7.
How is thermal management achieved in the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab to conduct heat from the silicon junction to the PCB. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, meaning it can dissipate its full 3.0 W rating when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C. Proper soldering of TAB 1 to a thermal pad is essential for achieving this performance in the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7.
What does the 'E3/TR7' suffix indicate for 1PMT5954BE3/TR7?
The 'E3/TR7' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. It confirms the part is supplied in automated assembly-ready format, not bulk or ammo-pack. This packaging format ensures consistent feeding in SMT pick-and-place machines and is standard for production use of the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7.
Can 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 be used in place of through-hole Zeners like 1N5375B?
The 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 shares the same 160 V zener voltage as 1N5375B but is not a drop-in replacement due to its surface-mount Powermite® package versus DO-41 through-hole. While electrically comparable, PCB layout, assembly process, and thermal mounting differ significantly. Substitution requires redesign for SMT pads and thermal relief - the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 is not intended as a direct physical replacement for 1N5375B.
What is the maximum reverse voltage that ensures leakage stays below 1 µA for 1PMT5954BE3/TR7?
Per the datasheet table, the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 guarantees reverse leakage IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 121.6 V. This voltage is 76% of its nominal 160 V zener voltage and represents the maximum reverse bias that maintains ultra-low leakage. Operating above this level risks exponential increase in leakage current, so system designs using the 1PMT5954BE3/TR7 should respect 121.6 V as the safe non-conducting limit.
