Product details
Overview
1PMT5955E3/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 136.8 mA maximum Zener current - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5955E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5955E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5955E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5955E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (<7 µA at 144 V), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The 1PMT5955E3/TR7 delivers stable 180 V regulation under DC conditions with tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 7000 Ω) and low reverse leakage (≤7 µA at VR = 144 V), enabling reliable clamping in high-voltage transient suppression circuits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5955E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5955E3/TR7 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 of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in precision reference and clamping circuits using the 1PMT5955E3/TR7.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5955E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5955E3/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. Effective thermal management requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour on the PCB. This design eliminates reliance on lead-frame conduction and enables sustained 3.0 W operation - a key advantage of the 1PMT5955E3/TR7 over conventional SMD Zeners.
Is 1PMT5955E3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5955E3/TR7 is fully compatible with EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (7-inch reel: 3,000 pcs; 13-inch reel: 12,000 pcs) and designed for use with automatic insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package features a locking tab and full metallic bottom that prevent flux entrapment and ensure consistent placement - critical for high-yield manufacturing of products using the 1PMT5955E3/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5955E3/TR7 is 7 µA at a reverse voltage of 144 V (80% of nominal 180 V Zener voltage), tested at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance bias networks and improves accuracy in precision reference applications where the 1PMT5955E3/TR7 serves as a stable voltage node.
Does 1PMT5955E3/TR7 have an ESD rating, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, the 1PMT5955E3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This rating is intrinsic to the device structure and packaging - not dependent on external protection - and significantly reduces susceptibility to handling damage during SMT assembly and field operation of systems incorporating the 1PMT5955E3/TR7.
