Product details
Overview
1PMT5931AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 18 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 13.7 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), 12 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at 20.8 mA test current (IZT), and 650 µA max reverse leakage (IR) at 13.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-216 mechanical outline, cathode identification via TAB 1, thermal resistance of 30°C/W (junction-to-TAB), ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to regulate or clamp voltage at 18 V nominal with tight ±5% initial tolerance. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer without flux entrapment.
The device exhibits low dynamic impedance (12 Ω at IZT = 20.8 mA) and controlled knee behavior (IZK = 12 mA, ZZK = 0.25 Ω), supporting stable regulation under varying load conditions. Reverse leakage remains ≤650 µA at VR = 13.7 V, ensuring minimal standby power loss in battery-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±5% at IZT = 20.8 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with production-grade accuracy |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load under defined board-level cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 12 Ω at IZT = 20.8 mA - determines output voltage variation under small-signal current changes |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 650 µA at VR = 13.7 V - limits quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - quantifies temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB copper pad |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - ensures robustness during handling and board assembly |

Applications
| DC Power Rail Clamping | Low-Power Voltage Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 15–24 V industrial sensor inputs against transient overvoltage events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamping element placed between signal line and ground to limit excursion beyond 18 V. Use Value: With 13.7 V reverse standoff and 18 V breakdown, it provides 4.3 V margin before conduction, absorbing surge energy within its 3.0 W rating. | Use Scenario: Stable bias voltage generation for op-amp comparators in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt reference providing fixed 18 V node referenced to ground, powered via series resistor. Use Value: Low 650 µA leakage at 13.7 V and 12 Ω dynamic impedance ensure <0.5% output variation across 1–10 mA load range. |
| Automated Assembly Interface | Thermally Constrained Regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5350B | Same 18 V nominal, but in DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires PCB through-holes and wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT designs | Select when higher power headroom and legacy through-hole assembly are required |
| BZX84-C18 | 18 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; 15 Ω dynamic impedance; 100 nA leakage at 14 V | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W dissipation | Select for space-constrained logic-level protection where power stress is negligible |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5931AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 18 V nominal, measured at IZT = 20.8 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 specifies ±5%.
How is the cathode identified on 1PMT5931AE3/TR13?
The cathode of the 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 is designated by TAB 1-the metallic tab on the package bottom-which must be connected to the more positive potential in reverse-bias operation. This is confirmed in the mechanical specifications section of the MSC0995 datasheet and applies directly to the 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 device.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 and under what conditions?
The 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes proper thermal coupling to a PCB copper area and accounts for voltage derating at elevated temperatures. Exceeding this condition risks junction overheating and parametric shift.
Does 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 meet any ESD standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as specified in the FEATURES section of the MSC0995 datasheet. This rating reflects built-in process-level protection and supports robust handling during automated assembly and field operation.
What tape-and-reel standard does 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 use?
The 1PMT5931AE3/TR13 is supplied in EIA Standard 481 tape-and-reel format, with 3,000 pieces per 7-inch reel and 12,000 pieces per 13-inch reel. The "TR13" suffix explicitly denotes the 13-inch reel packaging configuration, confirming compliance with industry-standard SMT feeder requirements.
