Product details
Overview
1PMT5955B/TR13 from Microsemi is a 180 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in the Powermite® surface-mount 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. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5955B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5955B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5955B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5955B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria 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 - critical for industrial power converters and telecom surge protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Zener voltage is specified at 2.1 mA test current (IZT) with junction temperature controlled at 30°C, and voltage measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application to ensure thermal stabilization.
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as an integral heat sink, achieving 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1. Reverse leakage is guaranteed ≤7000 µA at VR = 144 V (80% of VZ), and dynamic impedance is measured using 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 180 V ±5% at IZT = 2.1 mA - defines stable regulation point for high-voltage reference or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables robust operation in compact SMT layouts without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 900 Ω at IZT = 2.1 mA - indicates moderate regulation stiffness; suitable for non-critical voltage references |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤7000 µA at VR = 144 V - ensures low standby loss in high-impedance bias networks |

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 180 V VZ, but in DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher ZZT (1200 Ω) | Requires PCB through-holes and larger layout area; better suited for prototyping or legacy designs | Select 1N5375B only if through-hole assembly or higher power margin (>3 W) is required |
| BZX85C180 | 180 V VZ in DO-41; 1.3 W rating; ±5% tolerance; higher IR (100 µA at 144 V) | Limited to lower-power biasing; unsuitable for sustained 3 W clamping | Choose BZX85C180 only for cost-sensitive, low-power reference applications where thermal performance is secondary |
Compared with 1PMT5955B/TR13, 1N5375B offers higher power headroom but sacrifices SMT compatibility and thermal efficiency, while BZX85C180 reduces cost and size but cannot sustain 3.0 W dissipation - making 1PMT5955B/TR13 the optimal choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial SMT designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5955B/TR13?
The 1PMT5955B/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 180 V, measured at 2.1 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 base 1PMT5955B/TR13 part uses the ±5% grade.
How is thermal performance achieved in the 1PMT5955B/TR13 Powermite® package?
The 1PMT5955B/TR13 achieves 3.0 W power dissipation via its metallic TAB 1, which acts as an integral heat sink with 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance. The full metallic bottom eliminates flux entrapment, and the locking tab ensures robust thermal contact to PCB copper pours during reflow soldering.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955B/TR13?
The 1PMT5955B/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 7000 µA at VR = 144 V (80% of nominal VZ). This value is guaranteed across the operating temperature range and is critical for low-power bias network integrity in high-impedance applications.
Can 1PMT5955B/TR13 be used in automatic insertion equipment?
Yes, the 1PMT5955B/TR13 is explicitly designed for compatibility with automated insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package conforms to EIA-481 tape-and-reel standards (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs) and features a symmetric, robust mechanical outline optimized for pick-and-place accuracy.
What is the dynamic impedance of 1PMT5955B/TR13 and how is it measured?
The 1PMT5955B/TR13 has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 900 Ω, measured at IZT = 2.1 mA using a 60 Hz RMS AC current equal to 10% of IZT superimposed on the DC test current - per Microsemi Note 202 methodology. This reflects regulation stiffness under small-signal AC perturbations.
