Product details
Overview
1PMT5937AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 33 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 11.4 mA test current, 33 Ω dynamic impedance, and <1 µA reverse leakage at 25.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937AE3/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 per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow.
Electrical behavior is defined at TL = 30°C with IZT = 11.4 mA; Zener voltage drift versus current deviation follows Microsemi Note 202. Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to VR = 25.1 V, and dynamic impedance is measured using 60 Hz AC superimposed on DC bias.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5937B | Same 33 V Zener voltage but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic thermal tab; 1.5 W rating | Suitable only for lower-power, non-automated assembly; lacks thermal performance for sustained 3 W operation | Select 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 when SMT automation, thermal management, or >1.5 W clamping is required |
| BZX84-C33 | 33 V SOT-23 Zener; 300 mW rating; 90 Ω dynamic impedance; 100 nA leakage at 25 V | Lower power, higher impedance, and tighter leakage ideal for signal-level biasing-not for power rail clamping | Choose 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 for primary rail regulation; BZX84-C33 fits low-current reference roles |

The 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the MSC0995 datasheet. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. Voltage is measured at 11.4 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C, and the 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 must stabilize for 20 seconds before measurement.
How is thermal performance characterized for 1PMT5937AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 features a junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W, enabling 3.0 W power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This requires adequate PCB copper area connected to TAB 1. The full metallic bottom and locking tab directly conduct heat into the board, distinguishing it from standard SOD-123 or SOT-23 packages.
Is 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 is designed for compatibility with automatic insertion and reflow soldering equipment. Its Powermite® package conforms to EIA-481 tape-and-reel standards (7-inch reel: 3,000 pcs; 13-inch reel: 12,000 pcs), and the locking tab ensures mechanical stability during pick-and-place operations.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 25.1 V and ambient temperature of 30°C. This low leakage supports energy-sensitive applications such as battery-powered sensors and always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must be minimized.
Does 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5937AE3/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD test, as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This high immunity level ensures robustness during handling, automated assembly, and operation in electrically noisy environments like automotive and industrial control systems.
