Product details
Overview
1PMT5931B from Microsemi is a 18 V, 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, featuring 12 Ω dynamic impedance at 20.8 mA test current, 650 µA max reverse leakage at 13.7 V, and thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-tab. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5931B datasheet, 1PMT5931B pinout, 1PMT5931B application, or 1PMT5931B equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5% standard), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), full metallic bottom for flux-free soldering, and tab-1 cathode designation for automated placement.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates with a nominal zener voltage of 18 V at 20.8 mA (IZT), exhibits 12 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maintains ≤650 µA reverse leakage (IR) at 13.7 V (VR). Its 30°C/W thermal resistance enables stable regulation under 3.0 W dissipation when tab-1 is held at ≤60°C.
The Powermite® package integrates a locking tab acting as an integral heat sink and uses a molded body with full metallic bottom to prevent solder flux entrapment. Cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, supporting reliable automated insertion and reflow assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±5% at 20.8 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W with TAB 1 at 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC load capability |
| Dynamic Impedance | 12 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage stability under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤650 µA at 13.7 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - enables thermal design using tab as primary heat path |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5245B | 18 V ±5%, 0.5 W SOD-123 package, 20 Ω ZZT, 100 µA IR @ 13.7 V | Limited to lower-power biasing; lacks integral heat sink and 3.0 W capability | Select when space-constrained and thermal load <0.5 W; not suitable for 3.0 W clamping |
| Vishay NZ9F18V | 18 V ±5%, 0.3 W SOD-323, 30 Ω ZZT, 100 nA IR @ 13.7 V | Ultra-low leakage but insufficient power handling; no metallic thermal path | Prefer for ultra-low-current references only; cannot replace 1PMT5931B in power-clamp roles |
Compared with MMBZ5245B and NZ9F18V, the 1PMT5931B uniquely delivers 3.0 W dissipation with direct tab-1 thermal conduction-enabling use in high-energy clamping where alternatives thermally saturate or fail.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5931B?
The 1PMT5931B has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 18 V. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. Voltage is measured at 20.8 mA test current with tab temperature maintained at 30°C for 20 seconds prior to reading.
How is the cathode identified on 1PMT5931B?
The cathode of the 1PMT5931B is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, which is the full metallic bottom surface of the Powermite® package. This tab serves as both the cathode electrical connection and the primary thermal conduction path to the PCB.
What is the maximum power dissipation of 1PMT5931B and under what conditions?
The 1PMT5931B is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C. This rating accounts for voltage rise at higher currents and temperatures. Derating is required above 60°C tab temperature per the device's 30°C/W thermal resistance specification.
Does 1PMT5931B meet industry ESD standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5931B is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding typical IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements. This robustness is inherent to the Powermite® package construction and supports reliable handling and field operation in noisy industrial environments.
Can 1PMT5931B be used in automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5931B is fully compatible with automated insertion equipment and standard SMT reflow processes. Its Powermite® package features consistent dimensions, tab-1 cathode marking, and a full metallic bottom that prevents flux entrapment-ensuring high first-pass yield in high-volume manufacturing.
