Product details
Overview
1PMT5956BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 200 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 1.9 mA test current (IZT), 1200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 11.6 mA maximum Zener current (IZM). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-voltage DC-DC converter feedback loops and industrial power supply regulation.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic tab heat sinking, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 1.9 mA with junction-to-tab thermal resistance of 30°C/W, enabling stable regulation under pulsed or continuous DC bias when mounted to a thermally conductive PCB pad.
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as an integral heat sink, eliminating solder flux entrapment and improving thermal transfer-critical for maintaining VZ stability across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V ±5% at IZT = 1.9 mA - defines clamping threshold in overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with proper thermal pad design |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1200 Ω at 60 Hz, 10% IZT - indicates voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal AC perturbations |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 8000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - reflects poor regulation near turn-on; requires minimum bias current for stable operation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 152 V - ensures low standby current in high-impedance reference paths |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special ESD controls |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; requires ≥10 mm² exposed pad for full 3 W rating |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216AA), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal; must be soldered to ≥10 mm² copper area for rated 3.0 W dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; no thermal function; routed on signal layer only |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, preventing post-assembly corrosion or voiding |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating enables safe handling in standard SMT environments without added protection circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ200A | TVS diode, 200 V standoff, 3.0 kW peak pulse power, bidirectional, higher clamping voltage (224 V) | Designed for transient suppression, not precision regulation; unsuitable for feedback references | Select only for surge-only protection where regulation accuracy is irrelevant |
| 1N5388B | Through-hole 200 V Zener, 5 W rating, DO-201 package, 35°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Larger footprint, lower thermal efficiency, incompatible with SMT automation | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where reflow compatibility is not required |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5956BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 200 V nominal, measured at IZT = 1.9 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the base part number 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 specifies ±5%.
Can 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 be used in place of a through-hole Zener like 1N5388B?
No-while both are 200 V Zeners, the 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 uses a DO-216 surface-mount Powermite® package with integrated heat-sink tab and 30°C/W thermal resistance, whereas 1N5388B is DO-201 axial with 35°C/W. Substitution requires PCB redesign and thermal validation; 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1PMT5956BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This requires a minimum 10 mm² copper pad connected to TAB 1. Derating applies above 60°C: at 100°C TAB, max power drops to ~1.8 W per the 30°C/W thermal resistance.
Does 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 have polarity marking, and how is cathode identified?
Yes-the cathode of 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 is designated by TAB 1, which is the larger metallic terminal. The device uses a DO-216 outline with TAB 1 as cathode and Lead 2 as anode. No band or dot marking is present; orientation is defined solely by tab position per Microsemi mechanical drawings.
Is 1PMT5956BE3/TR7 suitable for high-frequency transient suppression?
No-1PMT5956BE3/TR7 is a precision Zener diode optimized for DC/low-frequency voltage regulation and clamping, not fast transients. Its 1200 Ω dynamic impedance and 1.9 mA IZT indicate slow response; for ESD/surge suppression, use dedicated TVS devices like SMAJ200A with sub-nanosecond response and defined clamping curves.
