Product details
Overview
1PMT5938BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 36 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 10.4 mA test current (IZT), 38 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 1 µA max reverse leakage at 27.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (0.25 Ω), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown characteristics, designed for stable voltage regulation under DC bias conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow soldering.
The 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V measured at IZT = 10.4 mA with TAB temperature held at 30°C, and maintains tight voltage stability across operating temperatures from –55°C to +150°C. Reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to VR = 27.4 V, supporting low-power standby regulation.

The 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 36 V, measured at IZT = 10.4 mA with TAB temperature maintained at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available under suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR13 variant specifies ±5% per Microsemi datasheet MSC0995 Rev F.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as both mechanical anchor and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance requires direct soldering of TAB 1 to a copper thermal pad on the PCB to achieve the rated 3.0 W power dissipation at TAB = 60°C.
Is the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 is fully compatible with automated SMT assembly. It is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (TR13 = 13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces), features a locking tab for secure placement during pick-and-place, and its full metallic bottom prevents solder flux entrapment-ensuring reliable reflow solder joints without post-process cleaning.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 is 1 µA, specified at a reverse voltage (VR) of 27.4 V. This value is guaranteed across the operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and supports low-quiescent-current designs such as battery monitoring and standby regulation circuits.
Does the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5938BE3/TR13 is rated for >16 kV electrostatic discharge immunity per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the Microsemi MSC0995 datasheet. This level of ESD robustness allows safe handling and placement using standard SMT equipment without requiring additional ESD protection during manufacturing.
