Product details
Overview
1PMT5939B 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. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5939B datasheet, 1PMT5939B pinout, 1PMT5939B application, or 1PMT5939B equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (0.25 Ω), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. 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), a sharp knee characteristic (IZK = 0.25 mA, ZZK = 900 Ω), and stable performance over -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range - enabling reliable use in industrial and automotive power-supply monitoring applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZT = 9.6 mA - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal mounting condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω at IZT = 9.6 mA - indicates small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under varying load |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤900 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping or reference configurations |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency for heatsinking via the metal tab |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in electrostatic-prone environments |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current required to enter useful regulation region with low ZZK |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; weight ≈ 0.016 g; DO-216 outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-sinking terminal and electrical cathode connection; must be thermally anchored for rated power dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; mounted opposite TAB 1; no thermal function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layout while delivering 3.0 W power handling traditionally found in larger through-hole packages |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Provides mechanical retention during reflow and direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB copper |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during assembly, improving long-term reliability and solder joint integrity |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating reduces need for external protection circuitry in board-level ESD-sensitive systems |
| Low knee impedance | 0.25 Ω at IZK enables stable regulation even at very low bias currents near turn-on threshold |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Circuit |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5247BS | 39 V, 250 mW SOT-23 package; higher ZZT (70 Ω); lower power rating | Suitable only for low-power signal-level referencing, not for 3 W clamping | Select when board space is critical and power demand ≤250 mW |
| Vishay PLZ39 | 39 V, 1.3 W in DO-214AC; no metallic tab; thermal resistance ~60°C/W | Limited to medium-duty clamping; requires larger copper area for equivalent thermal performance | Select when legacy DO-214AC footprint is mandated and 1.3 W suffices |
Compared with MMBZ5247BS and PLZ39, the 1PMT5939B delivers 12× higher power capability than the SOT-23 part and half the thermal resistance of the DO-214AC alternative - making it uniquely suited for high-reliability, high-power-density Zener applications where thermal management and surge resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5939B?
The 1PMT5939B 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% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base 1PMT5939B part uses ±5%.
Can 1PMT5939B be used in place of a through-hole 1N5247B?
No - the 1PMT5939B is not a drop-in replacement for the 1N5247B. While both are 39 V Zeners, the 1PMT5939B is a 3.0 W surface-mount Powermite® device with thermal design centered on TAB 1, whereas the 1N5247B is a 0.5 W through-hole device in DO-35. Their power ratings, thermal paths, and footprints are incompatible.
What is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied to 1PMT5939B before breakdown?
The 1PMT5939B begins regulating at its nominal zener voltage of 39 V, with breakdown occurring within ±5% of that value. The absolute maximum reverse voltage before irreversible damage is not specified separately - operation beyond VZ risks exceeding the 3.0 W power limit unless current is strictly limited by external series resistance.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance compared to standard SOD-123?
The Powermite® package of the 1PMT5939B features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to the PCB, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance. In contrast, standard SOD-123 packages rely on lead-frame conduction and typically exceed 100°C/W, limiting usable power to <0.5 W.
Is 1PMT5939B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the 1PMT5939B is qualified for operation from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature and carries >16 kV HBM ESD rating, meeting core requirements for under-hood and body-control module applications. Its Powermite® package also supports automated reflow assembly compatible with AEC-Q200 stress testing protocols.
