Product details
Overview
1PMT5939A/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 29.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5939A/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5939A/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5939A/TR7 application, or 1PMT5939A/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 (0.25 Ω), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp breakdown characteristics, optimized for stable DC reference generation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow.
The 1PMT5939A/TR7 exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 39 V measured at 9.6 mA (IZT), with 45 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 0.25 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) at 0.25 mA (IZK), enabling low-noise regulation in low-current bias networks.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5939B | Same 39 V zener voltage but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; 50°C/W thermal resistance | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or thermally constrained designs | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal margin is acceptable |
| BZX84-C39 | SOT-23 package; 39 V ±5%; 300 mW power rating; 90 Ω dynamic impedance; 150°C max junction temp | Limited to low-power biasing; cannot replace 1PMT5939A/TR7 in 3 W clamping or regulation roles | Use only in space-constrained, sub-100 mA applications where thermal performance is secondary |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5939A/TR7?
The 1PMT5939A/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 39 V, measured at 9.6 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, respectively, but the 1PMT5939A/TR7 specifically uses the standard ±5% grade.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5939A/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5939A/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that acts as a heat sink. Its junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, enabling efficient conduction of heat directly into the PCB copper, which is critical for sustaining its 3.0 W power dissipation rating.
Is the 1PMT5939A/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5939A/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow soldering. It ships in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (7-inch reel, 3,000 pieces), and its Powermite® design includes features like a locking tab and flux-free metallic bottom to ensure reliable placement and solder joint integrity.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1PMT5939A/TR7?
The 1PMT5939A/TR7 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 900 µA at a reverse voltage of 29.7 V (75% of nominal zener voltage). This low leakage supports stable operation in high-impedance bias networks and precision reference applications.
Does the 1PMT5939A/TR7 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5939A/TR7 is rated for >16 kV electrostatic discharge per the Human Body Model (HBM), making it robust against ESD events during handling, automated placement, and board-level testing-critical for high-yield manufacturing of industrial and test equipment.
