Product details
Overview
1PMT5925C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 10 V, ±1% 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 thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5925C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5925C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5925C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5925C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 1% Zener voltage tolerance, low 4.5 Ω dynamic impedance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, full metallic bottom for flux-free assembly, and compatibility with automated insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its Powermite® package integrates a locking tab acting as an integral heat sink and features a full metallic bottom to prevent solder flux entrapment during reflow or wave soldering.
Rated for junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C, the device delivers 10 V nominal Zener voltage at 37.5 mA (IZT), with knee current IZK = 0.25 mA and knee impedance ZZK = 500 Ω - enabling reliable low-current regulation down to microampere-level bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.0 V ±1% at IZT = 37.5 mA, TL = 30°C - enables high-accuracy voltage reference design without external trimming. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - supports robust operation in compact power management circuits without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.5 Ω at IZT = 37.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current transients. |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink via metallic tab. |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides inherent system-level ESD robustness in unshielded industrial interfaces. |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - permits stable regulation even in ultra-low-power standby or monitoring circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 5 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat path and electrical connection point - must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W dissipation. |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal - connects to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow assembly while delivering 3.0 W power handling in footprint comparable to smaller SOD-123 devices. |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring during reflow and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB - reduces thermal resistance by ~40% vs. standard SMT packages. |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk - improves long-term reliability and eliminates post-assembly cleaning requirements. |
| 1% Zener voltage tolerance (suffix C) | Reduces need for system-level calibration in precision reference designs - tighter than standard ±5% (suffix B) variants. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package, ZZT = 20 Ω at 25 mA | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use in high-current or low-noise regulation | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-SMT legacy designs where 3 W dissipation and 1% tolerance are not required |
| BZX84-C10 | 10 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, ZZT = 20 Ω at 5 mA | Inadequate for >100 mA load currents or sustained 3 W thermal loads | Acceptable only for signal-level biasing or low-power logic clamping - not suitable for power rail regulation |
Compared with 1N4740A and BZX84-C10, the 1PMT5925C/TR7 delivers 3× higher power rating, 4.4× lower dynamic impedance, and 5× tighter voltage tolerance - making it the sole option among the three qualified for industrial-grade 3 W shunt regulation with 1% accuracy.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5925C/TR7?
The 1PMT5925C/TR7 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This is tighter than the standard ±5% tolerance of the "B"-suffixed variants like 1PMT5925B. The 10.0 V nominal voltage is guaranteed between 9.9 V and 10.1 V when measured at IZT = 37.5 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C, per Microsemi's MSC0995 specification.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5925C/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5925C/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour for full 3.0 W power dissipation. The integral locking tab enhances mechanical retention and thermal conduction - no external heatsink is needed if PCB layout follows Microsemi's recommended pad dimensions.
Is the 1PMT5925C/TR7 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5925C/TR7 is qualified for automotive use: it operates from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, meets >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and is used in ECU power rail clamping per ISO 16750-2. Its 1% tolerance and low ZZT ensure stable behavior under battery voltage transients. However, AEC-Q200 qualification status must be confirmed separately with Microchip - the base datasheet does not list formal AEC-Q200 certification.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5925C/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. This format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place assembly. The "C" indicates ±1% Zener voltage tolerance, while "1PMT5925" identifies the 10 V device within Microsemi's Powermite® Zener family. No functional or electrical difference exists between TR7 and bulk or other reel variants.
Can the 1PMT5925C/TR7 replace the 1PMT5925B in existing designs?
Yes, the 1PMT5925C/TR7 is a direct form-fit-function replacement for the 1PMT5925B, sharing identical Powermite® package dimensions, pinout, thermal characteristics, and maximum ratings. The only difference is the tighter ±1% Zener tolerance (vs. ±5% for "B"), which improves regulation accuracy without requiring PCB or schematic changes - provided the design benefits from enhanced voltage precision.
