Product details
Overview
1PMT5939E3/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 1.0 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5939E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5939E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5939E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD robustness (>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 (IZT = 9.6 mA). 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 (≤900 µA at VR = 1.0 V) and a well-defined knee region (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 900 Ω), enabling stable clamping performance even at low bias currents. Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, supporting industrial and automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZT = 9.6 mA - defines nominal regulation point with production-grade tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load under defined heatsinking condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω at IZT = 9.6 mA - determines small-signal voltage variation under load current changes |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 900 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates regulation quality near turn-on threshold |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤900 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for PCB copper pad heatsinking |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and board-level ESD immunity |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5359B | Same 39 V nominal VZ, but DO-204AL (DO-41) through-hole package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole assembly and larger PCB footprint; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select when legacy through-hole manufacturing or higher single-pulse surge capability is required |
| BZX84-C39 | SOT-23 package; 39 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 90 Ω ZZT; no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W continuous dissipation | Select only for space-constrained, low-power bias/reference use - not for power rail protection |
Compared with 1N5359B and BZX84-C39, the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power handling, and low thermal resistance via its Powermite® metallic tab-making it the only option suitable for high-reliability, thermally demanding SMT voltage regulation where both size and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1PMT5939E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5939E3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 39 V, measured at IZT = 9.6 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reference circuits using the 1PMT5939E3/TR7.
How is thermal management implemented for the 1PMT5939E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5939E3/TR7 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. Effective thermal management requires soldering TAB 1 to a minimum 10 mm² copper pour on the PCB. This design enables the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 to safely dissipate its full 3.0 W rating when the tab temperature is maintained at ≤60°C.
Is the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The full metallic bottom and molded construction prevent delamination or flux entrapment, ensuring reliable joint formation in modern RoHS-compliant manufacturing lines using the 1PMT5939E3/TR7.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5939E3/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix denotes EIA-481 compliant 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging containing 3,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed SMT placement equipment. The "E3" portion indicates compliance with JEDEC Level 3 moisture sensitivity, requiring bake-out only if exposed to ambient conditions beyond 168 hours - a key handling detail for production planning with the 1PMT5939E3/TR7.
Can the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 be used in bidirectional ESD protection configurations?
No - the 1PMT5939E3/TR7 is a unidirectional Zener diode with cathode marked on TAB 1. For bidirectional ESD protection, two 1PMT5939E3/TR7 devices must be connected anode-to-anode. While this configuration leverages the device's >16 kV HBM rating, discrete back-to-back placement is less space-efficient than purpose-built TVS arrays; however, it remains a validated approach for custom high-voltage ESD solutions using the 1PMT5939E3/TR7.
