Product details
Overview
1PMT5925BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 10 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 4.5 mA test current (IZT), 450 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and <5 µA reverse leakage at 8.0 V (VR). It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and ESD-protected I/O circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-216 mechanical outline, full metallic bottom for flux-free reflow, integral heat-sink locking tab, 16 kV HBM ESD rating, and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a metallic thermal tab (TAB 1) as cathode terminal and primary heat path, enabling 3.0 W dissipation without external heatsinking when mounted on ≥1 sq-in copper area.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (ZZK = 500 Ω) and tight voltage regulation at IZT = 4.5 mA, with reverse leakage IR ≤ 5 µA at VR = 8.0 V. Its 16 kV HBM ESD rating supports robustness in unshielded interface applications without additional transient protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V ±5% at IZT = 4.5 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal clamping/reference level |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handled via thermal tab |
| Dynamic Impedance | 450 Ω at IZT = 4.5 mA - small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation accuracy |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤5 µA at VR = 8.0 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB layout cooling design |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - enables direct placement on ESD-prone signal lines without added TVS |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA - minimum current to enter useful regulation region near VZ |

FAQ
What is the cathode identification method for 1PMT5925BE3/TR7?
The cathode of the 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 is designated by TAB 1 - the large metallic thermal pad on the bottom of the Powermite® package. This tab must be connected to the most negative potential in the circuit and serves as the primary thermal path. Lead 2 is the anode. Polarity is confirmed in the MSC0995.PDF datasheet mechanical drawing and electrical characteristics table.
Can 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 operate continuously at 3.0 W in standard FR-4 PCB layout?
Yes, the 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 can dissipate 3.0 W continuously when TAB 1 is soldered to ≥1 square inch of 2 oz copper on an FR-4 board with no internal layers, per Microsemi's thermal characterization. Derating is required above 60°C tab temperature; at 100°C tab, max power drops to ~1.8 W. Thermal simulation using the 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 value is recommended for custom layouts.
What does the "E3/TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5925BE3/TR7?
The "E3/TR7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 7-inch reels containing 3,000 units. "E3" specifies the packaging configuration and orientation; "TR7" confirms reel diameter and count. This differs from bulk or ammo-pack variants and ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment.
Is 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - the 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias clamping only. While its 16 kV HBM rating applies to cathode-to-anode stress, it does not provide symmetrical protection like a TVS diode. For bidirectional ESD suppression, a dedicated bipolar TVS (e.g., SMAJ10A) is required; 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 functions strictly as a shunt regulator in forward-conducting or reverse-breakdown modes.
How does the 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 compare to the 1N4740A in terms of thermal performance?
The 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 offers significantly better thermal performance than the through-hole 1N4740A: its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance is ~4× lower than the 1N4740A's typical 120°C/W junction-to-lead value. Combined with the full metallic bottom and locking tab, this enables 1PMT5925BE3/TR7 to sustain 3.0 W in SMT layouts where the 1N4740A would require large external heatsinks to achieve even 1.0 W.
