Product details
Overview
1PMT5925B/TR13 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 Ω dynamic impedance at 37.5 mA test current and 500 µA max reverse leakage at 5 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5925B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5925B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5925B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5925B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heatsinking, low 4.5 Ω Zener impedance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and DO-216 mechanical outline compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load currents. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom (TAB 1) as both cathode terminal and thermal path, enabling 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance and eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits tight knee characteristics with IZK = 0.25 mA and ZZK = 500 Ω, supporting low-current regulation stability. Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 37.5 mA with measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application per Micro Note 202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 10 V ±5% at IZT = 37.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator or reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-power clamping without external heatsink when mounted on copper pad |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 4.5 Ω at IZT = 37.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤500 µA at VR = 5 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or low-power monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for reliable 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling and system-level ESD immunity without added protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF10A (ON Semiconductor) | 10 V, 1.0 W, SOD-123 package, 10 Ω Zzt, no metallic tab | Limited to lower-power clamping; lacks integrated heatsink for 3 W operation | Select when board space is constrained and power <1 W; avoid for sustained 3 W loads |
| BZX84-C10 (Diodes Inc.) | 10 V, 300 mW, SOT-23, 20 Ω Zzt, plastic bottom | Not suitable for thermal cycling or high-reliability industrial environments | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 300 mW suffices and ESD >16 kV not required |
Compared with SMF10A and BZX84-C10, the 1PMT5925B/TR13 delivers 3× higher power handling and superior thermal management via its metallic TAB 1, making it uniquely suited for automotive and industrial applications requiring sustained 3 W clamping with field-proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1PMT5925B/TR13?
The 1PMT5925B/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This requires mounting on a minimum 1 cm² copper area with 2 oz copper thickness. Derating applies above 60°C tab temperature per the 30°C/W thermal resistance specification.
How is cathode identification implemented on the 1PMT5925B/TR13 package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5925B/TR13 is designated by TAB 1, which is the full metallic bottom surface of the Powermite® package. Mechanical documentation confirms that TAB 1 serves as both the cathode terminal and primary thermal interface, with polarity unambiguous due to its physical construction.
Does the 1PMT5925B/TR13 meet any industry-standard ESD ratings?
Yes, the 1PMT5925B/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as documented in the MSC0995 datasheet. This rating is intrinsic to the device structure and does not require external circuitry to achieve.
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the standard 1PMT5925B/TR13?
The standard 1PMT5925B/TR13 carries a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 10 V nominal. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available as orderable variants, but the base TR13 reel contains the ±5% version.
Can the 1PMT5925B/TR13 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like the 1N5240B?
The 1PMT5925B/TR13 provides equivalent 10 V regulation but in a surface-mount Powermite® package with 3.0 W rating versus the 1N5240B's 500 mW. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision for DO-216 footprint and thermal pad design; electrical function is compatible but thermal and mechanical implementation differs significantly.
