Product details
Overview
1PMT5956CE3/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 converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (<8000 µA at VR = 1 V), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under steady-state DC conditions. Its 200 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 1.9 mA test current with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains low reverse leakage (<8000 µA at 1 V) and tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 1200 Ω).
The Powermite® package enables surface-mount integration with full metallic bottom for flux-free soldering and integral locking tab acting as primary heat sink. Thermal resistance is 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1, supporting 3.0 W dissipation when TAB 1 is held at ≤60°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V ±5% at IZT = 1.9 mA - defines clamping/reference level in high-voltage regulation circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with thermal derating above 60°C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 1200 Ω at IZT - determines voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variations |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter regulated region; critical for low-power bias applications |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <8000 µA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing or hold-up circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency; requires PCB copper area on TAB 1 for safe 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special ESD controls |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mechanical outline conforms to DO-216 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sink terminal and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; electrically isolated from TAB 1; used for series connection in voltage-reference networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling in footprint smaller than DO-41 or DO-15 |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB; reduces thermal resistance to 30°C/W |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows safe handling in standard SMT environments without additional protection circuitry |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Clamp | High-Voltage DC-DC Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5388B | 200 V, 5 W, DO-15 package, 40°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance | Higher power but larger through-hole footprint; less suitable for dense SMT layouts | Select when higher power margin is required and board space permits through-hole mounting |
| SMBJ200A | 200 V standoff, 600 W peak pulse power, TVS diode, unidirectional, 1.5 kW peak pulse rating | Designed for transient suppression, not precision regulation; higher clamping voltage under surge | Select only for surge-only protection; not interchangeable for voltage reference use due to lack of tight VZ tolerance |
Compared with 1PMT5956CE3/TR7, 1N5388B offers +2 W power headroom but requires manual or wave-solder assembly and has inferior thermal performance in SMT; SMBJ200A provides superior surge handling but lacks the stable DC regulation and ±5% VZ tolerance essential for reference applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5956CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 200 V nominal, measured at 1.9 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the CE3/TR7 variant uses the standard ±5% grade.
Can 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 be used in place of a through-hole Zener like 1N5388B?
No - while both are rated for 200 V Zener voltage, 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 is a surface-mount Powermite® device with 3.0 W dissipation and 30°C/W thermal resistance, whereas 1N5388B is a through-hole DO-15 part rated for 5 W and 40°C/W. Substitution requires PCB redesign and thermal validation; they are not drop-in replacements.
What does the 'E3/TR7' suffix indicate in 1PMT5956CE3/TR7?
The 'E3' denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, and 'TR7' specifies a 7-inch reel containing 3,000 units. This packaging format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports automated SMT assembly without manual handling.
How is thermal management implemented for 1PMT5956CE3/TR7?
Thermal management for 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 relies on soldering TAB 1 (cathode) to a dedicated PCB copper pour acting as a heatsink. With a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, maintaining TAB 1 at ≤60°C enables full 3.0 W dissipation; exceeding this temperature requires linear derating per Microsemi's thermal curves.
Is 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 suitable for precision voltage reference applications?
Yes - the 1PMT5956CE3/TR7 provides stable 200 V regulation with ±5% tolerance, low dynamic impedance (1200 Ω), and minimal knee current (0.25 mA), making it suitable for non-critical reference roles in high-voltage feedback networks. For tighter stability, consider adding external temperature compensation or using it in conjunction with op-amp buffers.
