Product details
Overview
1PMT5925B from Microsemi is a 10 V, 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package (DO-216), featuring 37.5 mA test current, 4.5 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 0.25 mA knee current, and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-tab. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5925B datasheet, 1PMT5925B pinout, 1PMT5925B application, or 1PMT5925B equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5% standard), low reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 8.0 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), and thermal performance enabled by the full-metallic bottom and integral heat sink tab.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates with a nominal zener voltage of 10 V at 37.5 mA test current (IZT), with tight dynamic impedance (4.5 Ω) ensuring stable regulation under load transients. Its 0.25 mA knee current (IZK) and 500 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) support reliable turn-on at low bias levels.
The Powermite® package (DO-216) integrates a metallic tab (TAB 1) as cathode and primary thermal path, delivering 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance and enabling 3.0 W power dissipation when TAB 1 is held at 60°C - critical for compact, high-reliability power management designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10 V ±5% at 37.5 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level in feedback or protection paths |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W with TAB 1 at 60°C - enables high-power density regulation without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.5 Ω at 37.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - guarantees stable conduction onset for low-current biasing applications |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - allows accurate thermal design using tab as thermal interface |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robust handling and system-level ESD immunity without added protection |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at 8.0 V - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance sensing or reference nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V, 1 W, DO-41 package, 17 Ω ZZT, no metallic tab or integrated heat sink | Limited to lower-power, non-automated assembly; lacks ESD rating and thermal performance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal/ESD requirements and board space permits larger through-hole footprint |
| BZX84-C10 | 10 V, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, 20 Ω ZZT, 100 nA IR at 8 V | Lower power rating restricts use to signal-level clamping; higher leakage impacts precision references | Choose for ultra-compact, low-current biasing where 3.0 W capability is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5925B?
The 1PMT5925B has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 10 V nominal. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are also available upon request. Voltage is measured at 37.5 mA test current with TAB 1 maintained at 30°C, and readings must be taken within 20 seconds of applying DC current to avoid thermal drift effects on the 1PMT5925B measurement.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5925B?
The 1PMT5925B specifies a thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 30°C above the tab temperature. Full 3.0 W power dissipation is rated only when TAB 1 is held at 60°C - requiring adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias for effective heat spreading in the 1PMT5925B implementation.
Does 1PMT5925B have a defined cathode marking?
Yes - the cathode of the 1PMT5925B is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, which is the large metallic pad on the bottom of the DO-216 Powermite® package. This tab serves as both the cathode electrical connection and the primary thermal interface, and its identification is critical for correct orientation during PCB layout and assembly of the 1PMT5925B.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5925B?
The 1PMT5925B has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 8.0 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference and sensing applications where standby current must be minimized - a key differentiator versus higher-leakage alternatives in the same voltage class, such as the 1PMT5925B's broader family.
Is 1PMT5925B compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes - the 1PMT5925B is explicitly designed for compatibility with automatic insertion and surface-mount equipment. Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab that enhances mechanical stability during placement, and its full metallic bottom prevents solder flux entrapment during reflow, resulting in high first-pass yield and repeatable solder joint integrity for the 1PMT5925B in high-volume manufacturing.
