Product details
Overview
1PMT5935E3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 27 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 23 Ω dynamic impedance at 13.9 mA test current and 1 µA max reverse leakage at 20.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5935E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5935E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5935E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5935E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a shunt voltage reference with stable breakdown behavior across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Its DO-216 molded package features a full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab, enabling efficient thermal transfer from junction to TAB 1.
The device exhibits tight regulation at IZT = 13.9 mA, with ZZT = 23 Ω and ZZK = 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA, supporting low-noise biasing and overvoltage clamping in high-reliability analog and power circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at IZT = 13.9 mA - defines nominal regulation point with production-grade tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling under defined thermal condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 13.9 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - ensures stable regulation even near minimum operating current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 20.6 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby/clamp modes |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB-level heatsinking |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in unshielded environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), surface-mount, molded plastic with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3 W power handling in footprint smaller than DO-41 |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | TAB 1 acts as both cathode and primary thermal path, reducing junction-to-PCB thermal resistance to 30°C/W |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows safe handling and operation without external protection in many industrial interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B | Same 27 V nominal, but DO-15 package; 1.0 W rating; ZZT = 1.5 Ω at 120 mA; no metallic bottom | Limited to lower-power applications; requires larger PCB area; lacks integrated heatsink tab | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and board space constraints |
| BZX84-C27 | SOT-23 package; 27 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; ZZT = 35 Ω at 5 mA; thermal resistance ~250°C/W | Suitable only for signal-level biasing; not rated for sustained 3 W dissipation | Choose for ultra-compact low-power designs where thermal management is handled externally |
Compared with 1PMT5935E3/TR7, the 1N5354B offers tighter ZZT but sacrifices 3× power handling and thermal efficiency, while the BZX84-C27 trades size for drastically reduced power capability and thermal performance-making 1PMT5935E3/TR7 the sole option for regulated 27 V/3 W SMT applications requiring robust thermal design.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5935E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5935E3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 27 V, measured at IZT = 13.9 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the E3/TR7 variant uses the standard ±5% grade per MSC0995 Rev F documentation.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5935E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5935E3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with TAB 1 serving as both cathode and primary thermal interface. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper pour for effective heat dissipation. The full metallic bottom and locking tab eliminate flux traps and enhance thermal conduction versus standard plastic SMD packages.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1PMT5935E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5935E3/TR7 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA at VR = 20.6 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance bias networks and supports stable operation in precision analog circuits where quiescent current must be tightly controlled.
Is the 1PMT5935E3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5935E3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow processes. It ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs) and features a unique locking tab that aids pick-and-place stability. Its full metallic bottom prevents solder flux entrapment, ensuring consistent joint quality during reflow.
What is the ESD rating of the 1PMT5935E3/TR7 and how is it verified?
The 1PMT5935E3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the MSC0995 datasheet. This rating reflects intrinsic device robustness and is verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 test methodology, making external ESD protection unnecessary in many industrial control and instrumentation applications.
