Product details
Overview
1PMT5937CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 33 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in the Powermite® surface-mount 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 thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power derating above 60°C, reverse leakage at VR = 25.1 V, knee current behavior at IZK = 0.25 mA, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, leveraging silicon PN-junction breakdown to maintain stable 33 V across its terminals under reverse bias. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab for mechanical stability and thermal conduction to PCB copper.
It is characterized at TL = 30°C with IZT = 11.4 mA, exhibits ZZT = 33 Ω at that current, and maintains IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - confirming low leakage for high-impedance bias networks. Junction temperature range is -55°C to +150°C, supporting extended industrial operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% at IZT = 11.4 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with production tolerance band. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum steady-state power before thermal derating applies. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 33 Ω at IZT = 11.4 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA at VZ = 25.1 V - minimum current needed to enter usable regulation region. |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - ensures minimal error current in high-Z reference circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt, critical for PCB copper area design. |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special ESD controls. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 33 V nominal, but DO-15 package (larger footprint), 5 W rating, higher ZZT (35 Ω), no metallic bottom. | Requires larger PCB area; less suitable for high-density automated assembly. | Select when higher power margin is needed and board space permits larger through-hole or axial package. |
| BZX84-C33 | SOT-23 package, 33 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, 90 Ω ZZT, 10× lower power capability. | Limited to low-current bias/reference use; cannot sustain >100 mA continuous clamping. | Select only for signal-level voltage references where power dissipation remains below 300 mW. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937CE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the MSC0995 datasheet. This tolerance applies at IZT = 11.4 mA and TL = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the CE3 variant uses the standard ±5% grade. The 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 is tested and binned accordingly during final test.
How does thermal derating work for 1PMT5937CE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C. Above this temperature, power must be linearly derated at 40 mW/°C (based on θJC = 30°C/W). For example, at TAB 1 = 100°C, max allowable power drops to 1.6 W. Derating curves are defined in Microsemi Note 202, and the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 requires adequate PCB copper area on TAB 1 to maintain safe junction temperatures.
Is 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020), including peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its Powermite® package construction - with molded epoxy and metallic bottom - withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination or parameter shift. The 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel (TR13 = 13-inch reel, 12,000 pcs).
What is the reverse leakage specification for 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 at 25.1 V?
Per the MSC0995 datasheet, the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 µA at VR = 25.1 V and TL = 30°C. This low leakage enables use in high-impedance reference networks where error currents must remain below 100 nA - a key requirement in precision analog sensing circuits using the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13.
Does 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, the cathode of the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 is unambiguously designated by TAB 1, as stated in the Mechanical Characteristics section of MSC0995. The package body also features a polarity marking adjacent to TAB 1. This physical designation ensures correct orientation during automated placement and eliminates ambiguity in layout - critical for reliable operation of the 1PMT5937CE3/TR13 in production assemblies.
