Product details
Overview
1PMT5937B/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 (IZT), 33 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), 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 1PMT5937B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (800 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA), 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 DC bias. Its DO-216 outline and full metallic bottom enable efficient heat transfer to the PCB via TAB 1, while the locking tab enhances mechanical retention during reflow. The 33 V nominal breakdown is specified at 11.4 mA with tight thermal control (TL = 30°C).
Electrical behavior follows standard Zener characteristics: low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V), defined knee region (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 800 Ω), and predictable voltage drift with current deviation per Micro Note 202. It is not designed for AC signal clamping or high-frequency transient suppression.
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 and ±5% tolerance, but in axial DO-41 package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; thermal resistance ~65°C/W | Requires through-hole assembly and external heatsinking for >1 W operation; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or lower-cost procurement outweighs thermal and automation advantages |
| BZX84-C33 | SOT-23 package; 33 V ±5%; 300 mW power rating; 85 Ω dynamic impedance; 150°C max junction temperature | Limited to low-power biasing due to 0.3 W rating; incompatible with 3.0 W regulation loads | Select only for space-constrained, sub-100 mA reference applications where thermal performance is secondary |
Compared with 1PMT5937B/TR13, 1N5937B trades SMT compatibility and thermal efficiency for legacy manufacturability, while BZX84-C33 sacrifices power handling and thermal resistance for ultra-small footprint-neither offers drop-in replacement capability without PCB redesign or derating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1PMT5937B/TR13?
The 1PMT5937B/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, measured at a test current (IZT) of 11.4 mA with TAB 1 temperature held at 30°C. Voltage measurement must be performed within 20 seconds of applying DC current to avoid thermal drift effects. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, respectively.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5937B/TR13 Powermite® package?
The 1PMT5937B/TR13 uses its full metallic bottom and integral locking tab to conduct heat directly from the junction to the PCB copper via TAB 1. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, enabling 3.0 W power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C. This eliminates need for external heatsinks in properly designed layouts with adequate copper area.
Is the 1PMT5937B/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5937B/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (7-inch reel: 3,000 pieces; 13-inch reel: 12,000 pieces) and features a symmetric DO-216 outline with clear cathode marking (TAB 1). Its locking tab and flux-free metallic bottom ensure reliable placement, reflow wetting, and post-solder mechanical integrity in high-volume SMT lines.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5937B/TR13?
The 1PMT5937B/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 25.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in voltage reference and clamping applications, supporting energy-sensitive designs such as battery-backed systems and always-on monitoring circuits.
Does the 1PMT5937B/TR13 meet any industry-standard ESD ratings?
Yes, the 1PMT5937B/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD test method. This high level of electrostatic discharge immunity protects the device during handling, PCB assembly, and end-use in electrically noisy environments such as industrial controls and automotive electronics.
