Product details
Overview
1PMT5927A/TR13 from Microsemi is a 12 V, 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package with cathode designated by TAB 1, 6.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 31.2 mA test current, and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-tab - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5927A/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5927A/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5927A/TR13 application, or 1PMT5927A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), reverse leakage ≤1 µA at 9.1 V, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with stable breakdown behavior under reverse bias. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow soldering.
The device exhibits tight knee characteristics (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 550 Ω) and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 6.5 Ω), enabling accurate regulation across load variations while maintaining low power loss at nominal current (IZT = 31.2 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12 V ±5% at IZT = 31.2 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with heatsink tab |
| Dynamic Impedance | 6.5 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at VR = 9.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables thermal design using tab as primary heat path |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special precautions |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | DO-41 through-hole package; 12 V ±5%; 1 W power rating; higher thermal resistance (~50°C/W) | Requires PCB through-hole mounting; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or high-power dissipation | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly or lower cost outweighs thermal and space constraints |
| BZX84-C12 | SOT-23 package; 12 V ±5%; 300 mW power; 85 Ω dynamic impedance; no integral heat sink tab | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot sustain 31.2 mA continuous current without derating | Prefer for portable electronics where size matters more than power handling or thermal performance |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5927A/TR13?
The 1PMT5927A/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 12 V, measured at 31.2 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5927A/TR13 specifies ±5%.
How is the cathode identified on 1PMT5927A/TR13?
The cathode of the 1PMT5927A/TR13 is designated by TAB 1 - the larger metallic tab on the package bottom. This tab serves as both the cathode terminal and the primary thermal path; correct orientation is essential for proper circuit operation and thermal management.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5927A/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5927A/TR13 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 9.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports precision biasing in high-impedance circuits and minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered systems.
Can 1PMT5927A/TR13 be used in automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5927A/TR13 is fully compatible with automated insertion equipment and supplied in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces). Its Powermite® package features a locking tab and full metallic bottom designed specifically for reliable pick-and-place and reflow soldering.
What is the thermal resistance of 1PMT5927A/TR13?
The thermal resistance of 1PMT5927A/TR13 is 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1. This value assumes direct thermal coupling between the metallic tab and a sufficiently sized copper pad on the PCB, enabling effective heat dissipation at its rated 3.0 W power level.
