Product details
Overview
1PMT5954CE3/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 121.6 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in high-reliability power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low reverse leakage (<1 µA at 121.6 V), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, designed for stable regulation under DC bias conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits tight voltage control across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction/storage range) and maintains low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 121.6 V), with dynamic impedance measured using 60 Hz RMS AC superimposed on IZT per Note 2 of the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 160 V ±5% at IZT = 2.3 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with production tolerance band |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 700 Ω at IZT = 2.3 mA - indicates small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under varying load |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 121.6 mA - derived from 3.0 W / 160 V, limiting safe DC operating current under worst-case voltage |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to mounting tab for thermal design |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures robustness against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 121.6 V - confirms minimal off-state conduction below breakdown threshold |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; weight ≈ 0.016 g; DO-216 outline per mechanical drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and negative output connection; must be thermally anchored to PCB copper for rated power dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Positive input terminal; electrically isolated from TAB 1; requires standard SMT pad layout per DO-216 footprint |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling comparable to larger through-hole Zeners |
| Full metallic bottom | Prevents solder flux entrapment during assembly, improving long-term reliability and solder joint integrity |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical retention and direct thermal path from junction to PCB, reducing thermal resistance to 30°C/W |
| ESD robustness | Withstands >16 kV HBM, eliminating need for external ESD protection in many board-level implementations |
Applications

Use Value: ±5% initial tolerance and 30°C/W thermal resistance allow predictable drift compensation in field-deployed instruments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5954B | Through-hole DO-41 package; same 160 V/±5% spec but higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) and no metallic bottom | Requires manual insertion or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or lower-cost procurement outweighs thermal performance needs |
| SMBJ160A | TVS diode with 160 V standoff voltage and 600 W peak pulse power; not a precision Zener (±10% tolerance, higher leakage) | Designed for transient suppression only; cannot replace 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 in regulation circuits | Choose only for surge protection where DC regulation accuracy is not required |
Compared with 1N5954B and SMBJ160A, the 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W continuous dissipation, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and ±5% Zener tolerance - making it the sole option for space-constrained, thermally demanding, precision-regulation use cases.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5954CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 160 V, as specified in Note 1 of the MSC0995 datasheet. This tolerance applies under test conditions of IZT = 2.3 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the CE3/TR7 variant uses the standard ±5% grade.
How is thermal performance characterized for 1PMT5954CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 has a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, meaning each watt dissipated raises the junction temperature 30°C above the TAB temperature. This value assumes proper thermal anchoring of TAB 1 to PCB copper. The device is rated for 3.0 W at TAB = 60°C, implying a maximum junction temperature of 150°C under that condition.
Is 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated surface-mount insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab and full metallic bottom that prevent rotation and flux entrapment during reflow. It ships in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel, 3,000 pieces), optimized for pick-and-place machines.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5954CE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 121.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and precision regulation applications where off-state conduction must be minimized.
Does 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 meet automotive qualification standards?
The 1PMT5954CE3/TR7 is not explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 in its base specification, but its construction - including >16 kV HBM ESD rating, –55°C to +150°C operating range, and robust Powermite® package - enables successful qualification in automotive ECU designs. Customers must perform system-level validation per their specific application requirements.
