Product details
Overview
1PMT5940E3/TR7 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 temperature of 60°C, with dynamic impedance of 53 Ω at 8.7 mA test current and reverse leakage ≤1 µA at 32.7 V, used for precision voltage regulation in space-constrained power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5940E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5940E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5940E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, designed for stable DC voltage clamping and regulation in high-reliability power circuits. Its full metallic bottom eliminates solder flux entrapment, and integral locking tab serves as both mechanical anchor and heat sink path.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation across its operating range: zener voltage is specified at 43 V ±5% measured at 8.7 mA (IZT) with TAB 1 held at 30°C, and maintains low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 32.7 V), enabling use in low-power standby and sensing applications where leakage-induced error must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% at IZT = 8.7 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with production tolerance band |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling under defined thermal condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 53 Ω at IZT = 8.7 mA - small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation stability under load transients |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - low-voltage impedance near breakdown onset, critical for low-current regulation fidelity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 32.7 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in off-state, preserving battery life in low-power systems |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency from active region to mounting tab for thermal design |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in electrostatic-sensitive environments |
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; compatible 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 voltage reference node; must be thermally anchored to PCB copper for rated power dissipation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Current entry point during forward bias; reverse-biased operation establishes zener regulation between Lead 2 and TAB 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling previously requiring larger through-hole packages |
| Full metallic bottom | Prevents solder flux entrapment during reflow, eliminating post-assembly cleaning and reliability risks from residual contaminants |
| Integral locking tab | Acts as mechanical retention feature during insertion and provides direct thermal conduction path from junction to PCB |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows safe handling and integration into unshielded industrial control and telecom interfaces without added protection circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Same 43 V nominal zener voltage, but DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W); no metallic bottom or locking tab | Requires manual or wave-solder assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated production | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or higher single-pulse surge rating is prioritized over board space and thermal performance |
| BZX84-C43 | SOT-23 package; lower 350 mW power rating; zener tolerance ±5% but dynamic impedance ~90 Ω at 5 mA; no specified ESD rating | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W continuous dissipation or meet >16 kV ESD requirements | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power consumer applications where thermal and ESD margins are non-critical |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5940E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5940E3/TR7 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 (±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 networks and reference circuits using the 1PMT5940E3/TR7.
How is thermal performance characterized for 1PMT5940E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5940E3/TR7 features a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 30°C above the TAB 1 temperature. This value assumes proper thermal anchoring of TAB 1 to PCB copper. At 60°C TAB temperature, the device sustains its full 3.0 W rating-critical for thermal design validation of the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 in power supply applications.
Is 1PMT5940E3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 is fully compatible with automated surface-mount insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package includes a unique locking tab that aids orientation and retention during placement, and its full metallic bottom prevents solder flux entrapment during reflow. It ships in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7″ reel), ensuring seamless integration into high-volume SMT lines using the 1PMT5940E3/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5940E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5940E3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 32.7 V, tested at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby or battery-powered circuits where the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 serves as a voltage reference or clamp, preserving system energy budget without compromising regulation fidelity.
Does 1PMT5940E3/TR7 have an ESD rating, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the official Microsemi datasheet MSC0995. This rating enables robust handling during manufacturing and reliable operation in electrically noisy environments such as automotive and industrial settings-making the 1PMT5940E3/TR7 suitable for applications where transient immunity is critical without external protection components.
