Product details
Overview
1PMT5937E3/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, 33 Ω dynamic impedance, and 1 µA max 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 1PMT5937E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5937E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5937E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5937E3/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 mechanical stability during reflow soldering.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 25.1 V), a knee impedance of ≤800 Ω, and maintains stable regulation under transient load conditions due to its 33 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 11.4 mA and TL = 30°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 33 V ±5% - precise clamping/reference level at 11.4 mA, suitable for 3.3 V–5 V system rail monitoring |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient suppression without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance | 33 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at 25.1 V - guarantees low standby power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - supports reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robust handling immunity during board assembly and field operation |
| Knee Impedance | ≤800 Ω - ensures stable regulation even near minimum operating current (IZK = 0.25 mA) |
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 path and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal management |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; mounted opposite TAB 1, compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place nozzles |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated assembly and eliminates flux entrapment via full metallic bottom |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Reduces thermal resistance by anchoring TAB 1 directly to PCB copper, improving power handling reliability |
| Low reverse leakage (≤1 µA) | Minimizes quiescent current draw in always-on monitoring circuits and low-power IoT nodes |
| Tight zener tolerance (±5%) | Supports accurate voltage reference design without post-production trimming or calibration |

Applications
| DC Power Rail Clamping | Feedback Reference in SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller I/O lines from ESD or surge events exceeding rail voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamping diode placed between signal line and ground or rail. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤33 V while dissipating up to 3.0 W, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage. | Use Scenario: Providing stable reference voltage to the error amplifier in isolated flyback or forward converter feedback networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference source setting output regulation point. Use Value: ±5% tolerance and low dynamic impedance ensure <±1% output voltage drift over line/load/temperature. |
| Overvoltage Protection Circuit | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog input channels of PLC modules against accidental 24 V field wiring faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp in series with TVS or current-limiting resistor. Use Value: 33 V breakdown threshold aligns with common industrial supply margins; 3.0 W rating handles sustained fault energy. | Use Scenario: Stabilizing excitation voltage for resistive bridge sensors (e.g., strain gauges) in harsh environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage reference for ratiometric measurement systems. Use Value: ≤1 µA reverse leakage avoids loading sensitive sensor bridges; 30°C/W thermal resistance prevents self-heating errors. |
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, but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W), no metallic bottom | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated production | Select 1PMT5937E3/TR7 when SMT assembly, thermal performance, or space constraints are critical |
| BZX84-C33 | 33 V SOT-23 Zener; 300 mW rating, 10x lower power handling; 500 Ω typical ZZT; 100 nA IR | Limited to low-energy signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1PMT5937E3/TR7 in power rail protection | Choose BZX84-C33 only for low-current biasing or logic-level voltage limiting where 3.0 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5937B and BZX84-C33, the 1PMT5937E3/TR7 uniquely combines high-power SMT packaging, low thermal resistance, and industrial-grade ESD robustness-making it the only option among the three qualified for 3.0 W transient suppression in automated production environments.

Is 1PMT5937E3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5937E3/TR7 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 unique locking tab geometry that ensures stable orientation and placement accuracy during high-speed pick-and-place operations.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5937E3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 25.1 V and ambient temperature of 30°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient designs in battery-powered or always-on monitoring applications where standby current must be minimized.
Does 1PMT5937E3/TR7 meet industrial ESD requirements?
Yes, the 1PMT5937E3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) requirements. This makes it suitable for use in industrial control equipment, automotive body electronics, and other environments subject to frequent electrostatic discharge events.
