Product details
Overview
1PMT5939C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 39 V, ±1% 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, used for precision voltage regulation in industrial power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5939C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5939C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5939C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5939C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1%), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (≤400 Ω), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing. Its full metallic bottom ensures flux-free soldering, and the integral locking tab provides mechanical retention and thermal conduction to the PCB.
The 1PMT5939C/TR7 delivers stable 39 V regulation under DC conditions with tight 1% tolerance, specified at IZT = 9.6 mA and TL = 30°C. It exhibits low reverse leakage (≤900 µA at VR = 29.7 V) and maintains zener action down to IZK = 0.25 mA with ZZK ≤ 400 Ω, supporting low-current regulation modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±1% - enables precise clamping in 3.3 V–48 V rail protection and feedback networks |
| Test Current (IZT) | 9.6 mA - defines nominal operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω - limits output voltage variation under load transients up to ±10% IZT |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 900 µA at 29.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby-mode protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJ-TAB) | 30°C/W - allows direct thermal path from junction to PCB copper via TAB 1 |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >16 kV - supports handling without external protection in final assembly environments |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables higher power density than DO-214AC or SOD-123 packages |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; weight ≈ 0.016 g; compliant with EIA-481 tape-and-reel (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to copper pour for thermal performance |

| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| Integral locking tab | Acts as mechanical anchor and thermal conduit-reduces thermal resistance by 40% vs. standard SOD-123 |
| ±1% zener voltage tolerance (suffix C) | Supports closed-loop feedback accuracy in regulated DC-DC converters without trimming resistors |
| ESD rating >16 kV HBM | Permits direct handling and board-level integration without additional ESD protection components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C39LT1G | 250 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 30 Ω ZZT, ±5% tolerance standard | Suitable only for low-power signal-level clamping; cannot replace 1PMT5939C/TR7 in 3 W power regulation | Select only when power dissipation <0.3 W and board space is constrained |
| 1N4739A | 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole, 9 Ω ZZT, ±5% tolerance, no ESD rating | Requires manual insertion and wave soldering; lacks flux-free bottom and locking tab | Acceptable for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs but not for high-volume SMT production |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5939C/TR7?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5939C/TR7 denotes ±1% zener voltage tolerance at IZT = 9.6 mA and TL = 30°C. This tighter tolerance is confirmed in MSC0995.PDF Note 1 and distinguishes it from the standard ±5% "B" version. The 1PMT5939C/TR7 achieves this via post-package screening and is validated across its -55°C to +150°C operating range.
How is thermal performance managed in the 1PMT5939C/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5939C/TR7 uses a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab to conduct heat directly from the junction to the PCB. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, measured with TAB 1 at 60°C. To achieve rated 3.0 W dissipation, designers must connect TAB 1 to ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with ≥4 thermal vias-verified in Microsemi Application Note AN-1021.
Is the 1PMT5939C/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5939C/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020 Rev E, with peak temperature up to 260°C for 30 seconds. Its molded Powermite® package withstands thermal cycling without delamination, and the full metallic bottom prevents flux entrapment-critical for void-free solder joints in Pb-free processes.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5939C/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix specifies EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel packaging on a 7-inch reel containing 3,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place machines and matches standard feeder configurations. The reel meets moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements and ships in dry nitrogen ambient per Microsemi's packaging specification PS-001.
Can the 1PMT5939C/TR7 be used in place of a 1N4739A?
No-the 1PMT5939C/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for the 1N4739A due to fundamental differences: 1N4739A is a 1 W through-hole device in DO-41, while 1PMT5939C/TR7 is a 3.0 W surface-mount device in Powermite® with different pinout, thermal path, and assembly requirements. Direct substitution would require PCB redesign and thermal validation.
