Product details
Overview
1PMT5937BE3/TR7 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 (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), 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 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, 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 sharp Zener breakdown at 33 V nominal. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow soldering.
Electrical behavior is characterized at TL = 30°C with IZT = 11.4 mA; dynamic impedance is measured using 60 Hz RMS AC superimposed at 10% of IZT. Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to VR = 25.1 V, supporting stable clamping in low-power protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% - defines precise clamping threshold for voltage regulation or transient suppression |
| Test Current (IZT) | 11.4 mA - operating point where VZ is specified; sets minimum bias for stable regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω - low incremental resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Max Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient handling without derating in compact layout |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - supports efficient heat transfer to PCB copper via metallic tab |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robust handling integrity during automated manufacturing and board-level integration |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - ensures negligible standby current in battery-powered or low-quiescent systems |
Pinout & Package
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 uses a DO-216–compatible Powermite® surface-mount package with cathode designated by TAB 1. The full metallic bottom and integral locking tab serve as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal and electrical connection point; must be soldered to copper pour for optimal power handling |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; mounted opposite TAB 1 on molded body; no polarity marking on body |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layouts while delivering 3.0 W power capability traditionally found in larger through-hole packages |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term solder joint reliability and process yield |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical retention during automatic insertion and enhances thermal conduction to PCB ground plane |
| ESD robustness >16 kV HBM | Reduces risk of field failure due to handling or system-level ESD events without external protection circuitry |
| Tight voltage tolerance option | ±5% standard; ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) available for high-accuracy reference applications |
Applications
| Power Supply Voltage Reference | Overvoltage Clamp in DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback node in isolated flyback or buck-boost converters requiring accurate 33 V reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode providing fixed voltage reference for optocoupler-based feedback loop. Use Value: Maintains output regulation within ±5% across temperature and line variations due to low ZZT and stable VZ drift. | Use Scenario: Protecting gate drivers or controller ICs from transient overvoltage spikes on 24 V or 36 V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element diverting excess energy to ground when rail exceeds 33 V. Use Value: Absorbs 3.0 W peak power without thermal runaway, enabled by 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal path. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Automotive Body Control Module Protection |
Use Scenario: Biasing and limiting analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure transducers) before ADC input stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision clamping diode ensuring signal stays within 0–33 V range to prevent ADC saturation. Use Value: Low 1 µA IR at 25.1 V prevents loading of high-impedance sensor sources while maintaining fast response. | Use Scenario: Suppressing load-dump transients on 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt protector on microcontroller supply lines in BCM modules. Use Value: >16 kV HBM rating withstands ESD events during assembly; metallic tab ensures reliable thermal coupling to chassis ground. |
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 ±5%, but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W), no metallic tab | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume through-hole designs; not compatible with SMT automation | Select 1N5937B only if manual assembly or legacy board compatibility is required |
| BZX55C33 | 33 V ±5%, DO-35 package; 500 mW rating, 100 Ω ZZT, no ESD rating specified | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; insufficient for 3 W transient absorption | Choose BZX55C33 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical signal conditioning where power handling is not required |
Compared with 1N5937B and BZX55C33, the 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 delivers superior thermal performance (30°C/W vs. ≥65°C/W), automated assembly readiness, and verified >16 kV ESD robustness-making it the preferred choice for production-grade SMT power regulation and protection.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 33 V, measured at IZT = 11.4 mA and TAB temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base part number 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 reflects the ±5% grade.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5937BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 has a junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 30°C above the TAB temperature. This value assumes direct soldering of TAB 1 to a sufficient copper area, and is critical for calculating safe operating limits in continuous or pulsed power applications.
Is 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C, and the full metallic bottom ensures uniform thermal distribution and minimizes voiding during reflow-key for high-yield SMT production.
What does the 'E3/TR7' suffix indicate in 1PMT5937BE3/TR7?
The 'E3' denotes compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (lead-free, halogen-free), and 'TR7' specifies tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. This configuration supports automated pick-and-place placement and ensures moisture sensitivity level (MSL) compliance for factory floor handling.
Can 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 be used as a replacement for older 1N5937B diodes?
While electrically similar in Zener voltage and tolerance, the 1PMT5937BE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for the through-hole 1N5937B due to its surface-mount Powermite® package and different thermal profile. PCB redesign is required to accommodate the DO-216 footprint and TAB 1 thermal pad, though functional equivalence holds in regulated voltage and clamping roles.
