Product details
Overview
1PMT5937CE3/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 DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 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 using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and eliminate solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (<1 µA at VR = 25.1 V), a knee impedance of 0.25 Ω, and a thermal resistance of 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1 - enabling stable regulation under transient load conditions in compact power-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% at IZT = 11.4 mA - defines nominal regulation point with production-grade tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary condition. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 33 Ω at IZT - determines small-signal voltage variation under AC/ripple loading near regulation point. |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω - indicates sharpness of breakdown onset, critical for low-current regulation stability. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference applications. |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing without additional protection. |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink via metal tab. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216AA), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat sink interface and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated power dissipation. |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; mounted opposite TAB 1, compatible with standard DO-216 footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layout while delivering 3.0 W power handling previously limited to larger through-hole packages. |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability and reducing post-assembly cleaning requirements. |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and low-thermal-resistance path (30°C/W) from junction to PCB copper or external heatsink. |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows direct integration into unshielded front-end circuits without added TVS protection. |
| Automated insertion compatibility | EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (7″ reel, 3,000 pcs) supports high-speed pick-and-place with zero orientation ambiguity. |
Applications
| DC Power Rail Clamping | Feedback Reference in SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V logic rails against transient overvoltage events from ESD or inductive switching. IC Role / Device Role: Shunt clamping element that conducts above 33 V to limit voltage excursion and divert surge current to ground. Use Value: Leverages 3.0 W power rating and 30°C/W thermal resistance to absorb multi-millisecond transients without failure. | Use Scenario: Providing stable voltage reference for optocoupler-based feedback in isolated flyback converters. IC Role / Device Role: Precision Zener reference setting secondary-side regulation threshold in closed-loop control. Use Value: ±5% VZ tolerance and low ZZT ensure tight output voltage regulation (<±2%) across line/load/temperature. |
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Programmable Voltage Threshold Detection |
Use Scenario: Biasing and protecting analog front-end inputs of 4–20 mA transmitter circuits exposed to field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role: Input-stage overvoltage clamp and bias reference for op-amp level-shifting networks. Use Value: Metallic tab enables direct thermal coupling to sensor PCB ground plane, sustaining repeated 1 kV/µs transients. | Use Scenario: Setting trip point for comparator-based undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or brownout detection in battery-powered systems. IC Role / Device Role: Stable reference source for comparator input, ensuring consistent activation threshold independent of supply ripple. Use Value: Low knee impedance (0.25 Ω) and sub-µA IR minimize threshold drift under varying load and temperature conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5353B | Same 33 V nominal, but TO-204AA (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~50°C/W). | Requires PCB through-holes and manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when higher power margin or legacy through-hole compatibility is required over space-constrained SMT design. |
| BZX84-C33 | SOT-23 package; 33 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; no metal tab; thermal resistance ~300°C/W. | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W pulses or continuous regulation. | Select only for low-current bias/reference use where board space is extreme and power stress is negligible. |
Compared with 1N5353B and BZX84-C33, the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power handling, and 30°C/W thermal resistance - making it the only option among the three suitable for high-reliability, thermally demanding, surface-mount voltage regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 33 V, measured at IZT = 11.4 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the CE3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and reference applications.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab (TAB 1) acting as both cathode and primary thermal path. Its junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, meaning effective heat transfer requires soldering TAB 1 to a sufficiently sized copper pour or heatsink. Without this, power derating is necessary per the thermal curve in MSC0995.
Is the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 suitable for automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated SMT assembly. It ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel, 3,000 pieces), features a standardized DO-216AA footprint, and its locking tab prevents rotation during placement. The full metallic bottom also eliminates flux entrapment risks during reflow, supporting high-yield, no-clean processes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937CE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 is <1 µA at VR = 25.1 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications, and supports stable reference performance in high-impedance feedback networks where leakage could cause offset errors.
Does the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5937CE3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This intrinsic robustness allows direct integration into unshielded I/O or power entry circuits without requiring external TVS devices - reducing BOM count and board area in surge-prone industrial and automotive interfaces.
