Product details
Overview
1PMT5954B/TR13 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 reverse leakage ≤1 µA at 121.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5954B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5954B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5954B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5954B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee current (0.25 mA), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable regulation under transient load conditions.
The 1PMT5954B/TR13 exhibits tight voltage control across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction range) and maintains low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 121.6 V), enabling reliable clamping in high-impedance sensing nodes and feedback loops where leakage-induced offset must be minimized.
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 robust operation without external heatsink in compact power rails |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω at IZT = 2.3 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter regulated region; critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 121.6 V - ensures negligible error current in high-impedance voltage divider networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - quantifies thermal path efficiency to PCB copper pad for thermal management |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides intrinsic handling robustness during SMT assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; compatible with EIA-481 tape-and-reel (TR13 = 13-inch reel, 12,000 pcs).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal and electrical connection point; must be soldered to large copper area for heat dissipation and circuit return |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; connects to positive rail or signal source in reverse-biased configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5954B | Same 160 V zener voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 axial package; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual repair is required; avoid for new SMT production |
| SMBJ160A | TVS diode with 160 V standoff voltage and 600 W peak pulse power; not a regulated Zener (no tight VZ tolerance) | Designed for transient suppression only; cannot replace 1PMT5954B/TR13 in precision regulation roles | Use only for surge-only protection; never as voltage reference due to wide VBR tolerance and no DC regulation capability |
Compared with 1N5954B and SMBJ160A, the 1PMT5954B/TR13 uniquely combines SMT-compatible Powermite® packaging, 3.0 W continuous DC power handling, and ±5% zener voltage tolerance-making it irreplaceable for space-constrained, thermally demanding, precision-clamp applications where both regulation accuracy and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5954B/TR13?
The 1PMT5954B/TR13 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% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the TR13 variant ships with standard ±5% unless otherwise specified.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5954B/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5954B/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab that directly conducts heat from the silicon junction to the PCB copper pad. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, meaning effective thermal design requires a minimum 100 mm² copper pour connected to TAB 1 for full 3.0 W dissipation.
Can 1PMT5954B/TR13 be used in place of axial 1N5954B in existing designs?
No-while the 1PMT5954B/TR13 and 1N5954B share identical electrical specs (160 V, ±5%, 3.0 W), they differ fundamentally in package: Powermite® is surface-mount with TAB 1 cathode, whereas 1N5954B is axial DO-41. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign, reflow profile validation, and thermal analysis due to differing thermal paths and mounting methods.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which 1PMT5954B/TR13 guarantees ≤1 µA leakage?
The 1PMT5954B/TR13 guarantees reverse leakage current ≤1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 121.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This VR value corresponds to 76% of the nominal 160 V zener voltage and defines the upper limit of safe non-regulating operation before significant leakage begins.
Is 1PMT5954B/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-the 1PMT5954B/TR13 Powermite® package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes (JEDEC J-STD-020), with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C. Its molded construction and metallic bottom ensure mechanical stability and void-free solder joints under typical Pb-free thermal profiles used in industrial SMT lines.
