Product details
Overview
1PMT5935CE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 27 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in Powermite® surface-mount package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with 23 Ω dynamic impedance at 13.9 mA test current and 1 µA max reverse leakage at 20.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 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.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom to prevent solder flux entrapment and a locking tab acting as an integral heat sink, enabling reliable thermal transfer in high-power-density layouts.
The 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 delivers stable 27 V regulation under DC conditions with tight voltage control (±5%), low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 20.6 V), and robust ESD immunity (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for transient-sensitive analog and power-supply feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at IZT = 13.9 mA - defines nominal clamping/reference level with production-grade tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 13.9 mA - determines voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal AC variations |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates low-voltage conduction onset sharpness for low-current regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 20.6 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB copper pad design and derating |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robustness in handling and board-level ESD events |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; weight ≈ 0.016 g; mounting position unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and voltage-reference node; must be connected to thermal pad or ground plane for rated power dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Current entry point during forward bias; reverse-biased operation places this terminal at lower potential than TAB 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power capability in compact footprint |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB copper |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating reduces need for external protection in low-energy interface circuits |
| Tight Zener tolerance option | ±5% standard; ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) available for precision reference applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5935B | Same 27 V Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; 50°C/W thermal resistance | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or thermal-critical designs | Select 1N5935B only when legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal margin is acceptable |
| BZX84-C27 | 27 V Zener in SOT-23; 350 mW power rating; 100 Ω ZZT; 100 nA IR at 21.6 V; no integrated heat sink | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 in 3 W power-rail applications | Choose BZX84-C27 for space-constrained signal conditioning where power dissipation < 0.35 W |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5935CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 27 V, measured at 13.9 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available as custom order options, but the base 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 part uses the ±5% specification confirmed in MSC0995 Rev F.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires connection of TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour for full 3.0 W dissipation at 60°C case temperature. The locking tab enhances mechanical retention and thermal conduction, unlike standard SOD or SOT packages.
Can 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 be used in place of a DO-41 Zener like 1N5935B?
No-1PMT5935CE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5935B due to fundamental differences in package, thermal path, and assembly method. While both share 27 V Zener voltage, the 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 requires SMT reflow and relies on TAB 1 thermal coupling, whereas 1N5935B uses through-hole mounting and has 50°C/W thermal resistance. PCB redesign is mandatory.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5935CE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 20.6 V, tested at TL = 30°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of MSC0995 Rev F and reflects worst-case leakage under defined bias and temperature conditions-not a typical value.
Does 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 meet any industry-standard ESD ratings?
Yes, the 1PMT5935CE3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD test, as stated in the FEATURES section of MSC0995 Rev F. This rating applies to the packaged device and supports robust handling and board-level ESD resilience without requiring additional protection circuitry in many industrial environments.
