Product details
Overview
1PMT5937C/TR13 from Microsemi is a 33 V, ±1% 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 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 1PMT5937C/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937C/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937C/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight voltage tolerance (±1%), low knee impedance (800 Ω), ESD rating >16 kV HBM, thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer from junction to TAB 1.
The device exhibits a well-defined Zener knee at IZK = 0.25 mA with ZZK = 800 Ω, and specified dynamic impedance ZZT = 33 Ω at IZT = 11.4 mA. Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to VR = 25.1 V, supporting reliable clamping in low-power protection schemes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 33 V ±1% - enables precise voltage reference or regulation within 0.33 V tolerance at 11.4 mA |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - supports high-energy transient suppression without derating in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance | 33 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Knee Impedance | 800 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - defines low-current regulation onset for standby-mode protection |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current in always-on clamp circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for sustained 3 W operation |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robust handling immunity during SMT assembly and board-level integration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference and clamping applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5937B | Same 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, DO-41 through-hole package, 1.2 W rating | Lacks surface-mount compatibility and thermal performance; unsuitable for automated production or >1.2 W clamping | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where board real estate and power density are not constrained |
| BZX84-C33 | 33 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 80 Ω dynamic impedance | Insufficient power handling for >300 mW transients; higher ZZT degrades regulation accuracy | Use only in ultra-low-power signal-level clamping-not for power rail protection or reference duties |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5937C/TR13 denotes ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 33 V nominal, verified per Microsemi's test conditions (IZT = 11.4 mA, TC = 30°C). This is tighter than the standard ±5% version (1PMT5937B/TR13) and supports precision regulation where absolute voltage accuracy is required in feedback networks or reference circuits.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5937C/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5937C/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with TAB 1 as the cathode and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a minimum 100 mm² copper thermal pad. This design enables full 3.0 W dissipation at TAB temperature ≤60°C-critical for sustained clamping in industrial power interfaces.
Is 1PMT5937C/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, 1PMT5937C/TR13 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow processes. Its Powermite® package features a locking tab for mechanical stability during pick-and-place, a full metallic bottom eliminating flux entrapment, and EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging (13-inch reel, 12,000 units). These features ensure high first-pass yield in high-volume manufacturing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937C/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937C/TR13 is 1 µA at VR = 25.1 V and TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on protection circuits and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference applications where parasitic current paths could degrade performance.
Does 1PMT5937C/TR13 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, 1PMT5937C/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This level of ESD robustness eliminates the need for additional input-stage protection in many industrial and instrumentation applications, simplifying BOM and improving layout efficiency around sensitive analog or digital inputs.
