Product details
Overview
1PMT5955BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 180 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 900 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.1 mA test current and 7000 µA max reverse leakage at 144 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in high-reliability power supplies and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 180 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - all critical for stable clamping in automotive body electronics and telecom power rails.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-reference and transient-suppression element in DC bias networks, leveraging its tightly controlled 180 V Zener breakdown with low knee impedance (≤900 Ω) and minimal voltage drift across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction range). Its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting sustained 3.0 W dissipation when mounted on ≥1 sq-in thermal pad.
The 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 exhibits <7000 µA reverse leakage at VR = 144 V (80% of VZ), confirming stable regulation under partial overvoltage stress, and maintains ≤1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA - enabling bidirectional protection schemes when paired with series diodes or TVS arrays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5377B | Same 180 V VZ, but DO-201AD package; higher thermal resistance (50°C/W), no metallic bottom | Limited to ≤1.5 W continuous dissipation; requires larger heatsink or derating in compact layouts | Choose only if legacy through-hole footprint or lower-cost sourcing is prioritized over thermal performance |
| BZX85C180 | 180 V VZ, ±5%, but 1.3 W rating and TO-204AA (DO-35) glass package; no integrated heat sink | Suitable only for low-duty-cycle transients; cannot sustain 3.0 W clamping energy | Select when space constraints prohibit Powermite® footprint and peak pulse energy remains below 10 J |
Compared with 1PMT5955BE3/TR7, the 1N5377B offers identical voltage but sacrifices thermal efficiency and flux-free assembly, while BZX85C180 trades power handling for legacy compatibility - making 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 the sole choice for high-reliability 3.0 W SMT Zener regulation.

The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 is 7000 µA at a reverse voltage of 144 V (80% of nominal VZ), tested at TL = 30°C. This value ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on protection circuits while maintaining effective clamping margin.
How is thermal performance achieved in the Powermite® package of 1PMT5955BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 achieves thermal performance via its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab, which provide direct conduction from the silicon junction to the PCB copper. With a specified thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, it sustains 3.0 W dissipation when mounted on ≥1 square inch of 2-oz copper.
Is 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5955BE3/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles and supplied in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (3,000 pieces per 7-inch reel). Its Powermite® package geometry and locking tab ensure stable placement and alignment during automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering.
