Product details
Overview
1PMT5937E3/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 thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5937E3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5937E3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5937E3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5937E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power derating above 60°C, reverse leakage at VR = 25.1 V (≤1 µA), knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated placement.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that serve as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, enabling efficient heat transfer without flux entrapment.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V), tight dynamic impedance (33 Ω at IZT = 11.4 mA), and ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for industrial control inputs and sensor signal conditioning where transient immunity and long-term stability are critical.
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 predictable deviation across production lot |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal shutdown or degradation |
| Dynamic Impedance | 33 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load current changes (e.g., ΔVZ ≈ 33 mV per 1 mA ΔIZ) |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter stable Zener conduction region; below this, regulation degrades rapidly |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt; requires adequate PCB copper area on TAB 1 pad for thermal management |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports handling and assembly in non-ESD-controlled environments without damage |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216AA), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper pour for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; polarity confirmed by cathode marking on package body adjacent to TAB 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, preventing post-assembly corrosion and voiding risks |
| Integral locking tab | Acts as mechanical anchor and thermal interface to PCB, improving placement yield and thermal performance |
| Surface-mount compatibility | Designed for EIA-481 tape-and-reel (13-inch reel, 12,000 pcs) and automatic insertion equipment |
| Wide Zener voltage range | 33 V nominal with ±5% tolerance - enables use in 24–36 V system rail monitoring and clamp circuits |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | DC Power Rail Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end inputs of 4–20 mA transmitters against transient surges on 24 V supply lines.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 33 V nominal, but DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher ZZT (40 Ω) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when board space allows through-hole mounting and higher power margin is needed |
| BZX84-C33 | SOT-23 package; 33 V ±5%; lower power (300 mW); higher ZZT (90 Ω); no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-current bias/reference use; cannot handle >100 mA surge currents | Select for cost-sensitive, low-power bias networks where thermal performance is secondary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5937E3/TR13?
The 1PMT5937E3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 11.4 mA and TL = 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3 suffix indicates the standard ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in precision reference applications.
How much power can 1PMT5937E3/TR13 dissipate continuously?
The 1PMT5937E3/TR13 is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 temperature is maintained at 60°C. Derating is required above this temperature - approximately linear at 30°C/W - meaning power must be reduced to ~2.1 W at TAB 1 = 80°C. Full 3.0 W operation requires adequate PCB copper area under TAB 1.
Is 1PMT5937E3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5937E3/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces) and features a Powermite® package optimized for pick-and-place machines. Its locking tab and flat metallic bottom ensure stable orientation and reliable placement without tombstoning or misalignment.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for 1PMT5937E3/TR13?
The reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937E3/TR13 is specified as ≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V and TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal loading on high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in precision reference circuits where even nanoamp-level currents affect performance.
Does 1PMT5937E3/TR13 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5937E3/TR13 has an ESD rating of >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), verified per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This level of robustness allows safe handling and assembly in standard manufacturing environments without requiring additional ESD safeguards during board assembly.
