Product details
Overview
1PMT5931BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 18 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in the Powermite® surface-mount package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 12 mA test current (IZT), 650 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 1 µA max reverse leakage at 13.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 13.7 V), 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1, and is characterized at TL = 30°C with voltage measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application per Micro Note 202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±5% at IZT = 12 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with heatsink tab |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 650 Ω at IZT = 12 mA - indicates voltage stability against small-signal current variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 13.7 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference use |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - enables thermal design with known temperature rise per watt |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - supports low-current regulation near breakdown threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5351B | Same 18 V nominal, but DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher ZZT (700 Ω) | Requires PCB hole drilling and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly or higher power margin is required |
| BZX84-C18 | SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; ±5% tolerance; 20 Ω ZZT; 100 nA IR at 14.4 V | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W surges or continuous regulation loads | Choose for space-constrained logic-level protection where thermal mass is not needed |
Compared with 1N5351B and BZX84-C18, the 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power handling, and metallic-tab thermal management-making it optimal for industrial power rail stabilization where both density and thermal robustness are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5931BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 18 V, measured at IZT = 12 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base part number 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 ships with ±5% as specified in MSC0995 Rev F.
How is thermal performance defined for 1PMT5931BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 has a junction-to-TAB 1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 30°C above the TAB 1 temperature. This value assumes proper thermal anchoring of TAB 1 to PCB copper, and is validated under DC power dissipation up to 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C.
Is 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C, and the full metallic bottom ensures reliable solder wetting without flux entrapment-critical for void-free joints in Pb-free assembly.
What does the "E3/TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5931BE3/TR13?
The "E3" denotes Microsemi's standard RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead-free finish. "TR13" specifies packaging on a 13-inch tape-and-reel per EIA-481, containing 12,000 units. This differs from TR7 (7-inch reel, 3,000 units) and confirms full compliance with automated SMT placement equipment feeders.
Can 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 be used in automotive applications?
The 1PMT5931BE3/TR13 operates from -55°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when qualified per Microsemi's automotive-grade screening. While not AEC-Q200 certified out-of-box, it is widely deployed in under-hood power modules and body control units where its 150°C max storage temperature and >16 kV HBM rating meet functional safety margins.
