Product details
Overview
1PMT5940B/TR13 from Microsemi is a 43 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 53 Ω dynamic impedance at 8.7 mA test current and 950 µA max reverse leakage at 32.7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5940B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5940B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5940B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5940B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (≤950 Ω), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp breakdown characteristics, designed for stable DC voltage reference and transient suppression in space-constrained PCB layouts. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical retention during reflow.
The 1PMT5940B/TR13 exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 43 V measured at 8.7 mA (IZT), with 53 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 950 µA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 32.7 V (VR). Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, and thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1 is 30°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% at IZT = 8.7 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with heatsinking via TAB |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 53 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage stability under small-signal current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤950 µA at VR = 32.7 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby clamp configurations |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - enables thermal design using TAB as primary heat path to PCB copper |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - specifies minimum current for usable regulation onset near breakdown threshold |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; weight ≈ 0.016 g; mounting position unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat sink terminal and electrical cathode connection; must be soldered to thermal pad for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode terminal; electrically isolated from TAB; used for series connection into regulated node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables high-density PCB layout while delivering 3.0 W power handling comparable to larger through-hole Zeners |
| 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 path-reduces thermal resistance to 30°C/W and prevents tombstoning |
| EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging | Supports direct feeding into automated pick-and-place equipment without manual handling or orientation issues |
| ±5% zener voltage tolerance | Meets standard industrial reference accuracy; tighter 2% (suffix C) and 1% (suffix D) options available for precision designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | Same 43 V nominal, but DO-41 package (axial lead); 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; better suited for prototyping or low-volume manual assembly | Select 1N5365B only if board lacks SMT capability or requires higher peak pulse power beyond 3.0 W DC |
| BZX84-C43 | SOT-23 package; 43 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 90 Ω ZZT; no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power signal-level references; unsuitable for rail clamping above ~100 mA | Choose BZX84-C43 only for space-constrained logic-level biasing where thermal load is negligible |
Compared with 1N5365B and BZX84-C43, the 1PMT5940B/TR13 uniquely balances 3.0 W SMT power handling, 30°C/W thermal resistance via TAB 1, and EIA-481 automation readiness-making it optimal for production-grade 43 V clamping in industrial and telecom power systems.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5940B/TR13?
The 1PMT5940B/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 43 V, measured at 8.7 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base 1PMT5940B/TR13 shipped by Aetrix Electronics carries the ±5% specification as defined in the MSC0995 datasheet revision F.
How is thermal management handled for 1PMT5940B/TR13 in high-power operation?
Thermal management for 1PMT5940B/TR13 relies on TAB 1 as the primary heat conduction path: its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering to a thermally robust PCB copper area. The full metallic bottom eliminates flux voids, and the locking tab enhances mechanical and thermal contact. At 60°C TAB temperature, the device sustains 3.0 W DC dissipation-exceeding this requires derating per the datasheet's thermal curve.
Is 1PMT5940B/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, 1PMT5940B/TR13 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. Its Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 20–40 seconds. The full metallic bottom improves thermal uniformity during ramp-up, reducing risk of delamination or solder joint fracture. Aetrix Electronics confirms full compliance with IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 process requirements for this device.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5940B/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix in 1PMT5940B/TR13 denotes EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging on a 13-inch reel containing 12,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed automated placement equipment. It does not affect electrical specifications-the 1PMT5940B/TR13 shares identical zener voltage, impedance, and thermal characteristics with the same-base-number device in other packaging formats.
Can 1PMT5940B/TR13 be used as a replacement for older through-hole Zeners like 1N5365B?
1PMT5940B/TR13 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5365B due to different package (Powermite® vs. DO-41), pinout, and thermal interface. While both regulate at 43 V, the 1PMT5940B/TR13 requires SMT layout with thermal pad for TAB 1, whereas 1N5365B uses axial leads. Electrical substitution is feasible only after redesigning the footprint and verifying thermal performance under actual load conditions.
