Product details
Overview
1PMT5954E3/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 industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5954E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5954E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5954E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, 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, 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 sustained 3.0 W power dissipation when mounted on adequate thermal pads.
The device exhibits tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 6500 Ω) and low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 121.6 V), enabling reliable clamping in low-current standby modes. Voltage measurement is defined at IZT = 2.3 mA with Tc = 30°C and stabilized after 20 s of DC current application.
Key Specifications

What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5954E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5954E3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 160 V, measured at IZT = 2.3 mA with TAB 1 temperature held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5954E3/TR7 specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5954E3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab (TAB 1). This design provides a low-thermal-resistance path (30°C/W junction-to-TAB) directly to the PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer without external heatsinks - critical for sustaining its 3.0 W power rating.
Is the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow soldering. It ships in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7″ reel), and its Powermite® package features a locking tab and flux-free metallic bottom - both engineered to prevent misalignment and solder voids during high-volume SMT production.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5954E3/TR7 at rated voltage?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1PMT5954E3/TR7 is 1 µA at VR = 121.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports reliable operation in high-impedance sensing and battery-backed circuits where standby current must be minimized.
Does the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 meet any industry-standard ESD ratings?
Yes, the 1PMT5954E3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the FEATURES section of the MSC0995.PDF datasheet. This high ESD rating ensures robust handling during manufacturing and field operation in electrically noisy industrial environments.
