Product details
Overview
1PMT5939AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 39 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 45 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.6 mA test current and 900 µA max reverse leakage at 32.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5939AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5939AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5939AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5939AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 39 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, DO-216 mechanical outline, and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to the PCB pad, achieving 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (≤400 Ω) and tight voltage tolerance options (±1%, ±2% with suffixes D/C), with reverse leakage strictly limited to ≤900 µA at VR = 32.7 V - enabling reliable clamping in low-power sensing and protection circuits without parasitic loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZT = 9.6 mA, TC = 30°C - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V–48 V supply monitoring |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables sustained operation in compact industrial PCBs without external heatsinks |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω at IZT = 9.6 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under transient current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤900 µA at VR = 32.7 V - prevents excessive quiescent current in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in unshielded industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab acting as thermal path to PCB. Cathode designated by TAB 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal; must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper area for rated 3.0 W dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; no thermal function - routed as signal-level trace |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | DO-216 footprint with 3.0 W capability - replaces larger DO-41/DO-15 while maintaining thermal performance |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Metallic TAB 1 provides direct junction-to-PCB thermal conduction - eliminates need for thermal vias or external heatsinks |
| Full metallic bottom | Prevents solder flux entrapment during reflow - improves long-term reliability and reduces post-assembly cleaning requirements |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM - enables use in field-serviceable equipment without additional transient protection circuitry |
Applications
| Industrial Power Monitoring | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | DO-41 through-hole package; 1.0 W rating; 39 V ±5%; 20 Ω ZZT at 31 mA | Requires PCB real estate for axial leads; unsuitable for high-density SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher ZZT stability at higher IZ is prioritized over power density |
| BZX84-C39 | SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; 39 V ±5%; 90 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Limited to low-power signal rails; cannot sustain 3.0 W clamping events | Select only for bias/reference roles in sub-100 mW circuits where board space is critical |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX84-C39, the 1PMT5939AE3/TR7 uniquely delivers 3.0 W power handling in a surface-mount DO-216 package with integrated thermal tab - making it the sole option among the three for industrial-grade overvoltage protection requiring both high energy absorption and automated assembly compatibility.
