Product details
Overview
1PMT5955C/TR13 from Microsemi is a 180 V, ±1% tolerance Zener diode in Powermite® surface-mount package with 3.0 W power dissipation, 2.1 mA test current, and 900 Ω dynamic impedance at 20°C case temperature - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5955C/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5955C/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5955C/TR13 application, or 1PMT5955C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1%), thermal resistance (30°C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (≤7000 µA at 144 V), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
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 3.0 W dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation under DC conditions: VZ = 180 V measured at IZT = 2.1 mA with TL = 30°C, and maintains low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 7000 µA at VR = 144 V) across its -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 180 V ±1% - precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without heatsink |
| Test Current | 2.1 mA - defined operating point for voltage calibration and impedance measurement |
| Dynamic Impedance | 900 Ω at 2.1 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to load current changes |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB layout planning |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - ensures robustness during handling and board assembly |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤7000 µA at 144 V - defines maximum off-state power loss in standby mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5377B | Same 180 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 5 W rating in DO-201AD package; higher power but larger footprint and no metallic bottom | Requires heatsinking for sustained 3 W operation; less suitable for dense SMT layouts | Choose 1N5377B only if higher power headroom and through-hole compatibility are required |
| BZX85C180 | 180 V, ±5% tolerance, 1.3 W rating in DO-41; lower power, no integrated heat sink tab, 500 Ω ZZT | Not rated for continuous 3.0 W operation; limited to low-duty-cycle clamping | Select BZX85C180 only for cost-sensitive, low-power signal-level regulation where thermal performance is secondary |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5955C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5955C/TR13 denotes ±1% zener voltage tolerance at 180 V, verified at IZT = 2.1 mA and TL = 30°C. This tighter tolerance supports precision regulation where standard ±5% parts would introduce unacceptable error margins in feedback loops or reference circuits.
How is thermal management achieved in the 1PMT5955C/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5955C/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. Its specified thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 enables reliable 3.0 W operation when TAB 1 is held at ≤60°C - eliminating need for external heatsinks in most designs.
Can 1PMT5955C/TR13 be used in automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5955C/TR13 is explicitly designed for compatibility with automatic insertion equipment and standard SMT reflow processes. Its Powermite® package features a flat, symmetric profile and metallic bottom that prevents solder flux entrapment - ensuring high first-pass yield and long-term joint integrity in high-volume manufacturing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955C/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955C/TR13 is 7000 µA at VR = 144 V (80% of nominal zener voltage), measured at TL = 30°C. This value defines the upper bound of off-state power loss and must be accounted for in low-power standby designs where quiescent current is critical.
Does 1PMT5955C/TR13 meet any ESD standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5955C/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This high immunity level reduces susceptibility to damage during handling, PCB assembly, and field operation - particularly valuable in environments with uncontrolled static discharge risks.
