Product details
Overview
1PMT5937BE3/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 max 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 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937BE3/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.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with a defined breakdown threshold at 33 V under 11.4 mA test current. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow.
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 exhibits 33 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 800 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, and maintains ≤1 µA reverse leakage up to 25.1 V - enabling stable clamping in low-power protection and reference applications across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 33 V ±5% at 11.4 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for voltage-sensitive circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without derating in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance | 33 Ω at 11.4 mA - ensures minimal voltage deviation under load current variation |
| Knee Impedance | 800 Ω at 0.25 mA - supports stable low-current regulation near breakdown onset |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at 25.1 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on protection paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5937BRLG | Same 33 V nominal Zener voltage, DO-41 through-hole package, 1.5 W rating, 40 Ω ZZT | Limited to lower-power PCBs without thermal pads; requires manual or wave soldering | Select when legacy through-hole layout or lower-cost assembly outweighs thermal performance needs |
| BZX84-C33LT1G | 33 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT, 100 nA leakage | Suitable only for signal-level clamping; insufficient for 3 W transient energy absorption | Choose for space-constrained logic-level protection where power handling is secondary |
Compared with 1PMT5937BE3/TR13, the 1N5937BRLG trades thermal capability for assembly flexibility, while the BZX84-C33LT1G sacrifices power rating for miniaturization - neither matches the 3.0 W, 30°C/W, and metallic-tab thermal architecture of the Powermite® device.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937BE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 33 V, measured at 11.4 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts voltage regulation accuracy in reference and clamp applications.
How is thermal management achieved in the 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and primary heat sink. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, meaning effective thermal performance requires soldering TAB 1 to a dedicated PCB thermal pad with adequate copper area to dissipate up to 3.0 W.
Can 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 be used in place of through-hole Zeners like 1N5937B?
While the 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 shares the same 33 V nominal Zener voltage as the 1N5937B, it is not a drop-in replacement due to its surface-mount Powermite® package, 3.0 W rating, and thermal interface requirements. Substitution requires PCB redesign to accommodate the TAB-based thermal pad and SMT assembly process - not just footprint matching.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937BE3/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 25.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on protection circuits and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference networks where parasitic current paths must be minimized.
Is 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5937BE3/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes per J-STD-020. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic bottom are designed for compatibility with automated insertion equipment and typical Pb-free peak temperatures up to 260°C, provided thermal pad design follows Microsemi's recommended land pattern for optimal solder joint integrity and thermal transfer.
