Product details
Overview
1PMT5941AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 47 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 67 Ω dynamic impedance at 8.0 mA test current and <1 µA reverse leakage at 35.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>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, requiring no external biasing. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable reliable thermal conduction to the PCB pad while eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits tight voltage regulation across its operating range: 47 V nominal Zener voltage at 8.0 mA test current (IZT), 35.8 V maximum reverse voltage (VR), and 51.2 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) derived from its 3.0 W power rating - all specified at TL = 30°C with 20-second stabilization after DC current application.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with PCB thermal path |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies temperature rise per watt dissipated into PCB copper |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing without special ESD controls |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 1000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - indicates onset of regulation at low-current startup or standby modes |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode identified by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5255BS | 47 V ±5%, 200 mW SOT-23 package, 22 Ω ZZT at 20 mA - lower power, higher impedance | Suitable only for signal-level referencing; not rated for >0.2 W continuous dissipation | Select when space-constrained and power <0.2 W; avoid for power supply regulation or clamping |
| Vishay SMBZ5255B | 47 V ±5%, 3.0 W DO-214AA package, 40 Ω ZZT at 12 mA - same power, different footprint | Requires larger PCB area and manual or wave-solder process; no integrated heat sink tab | Select when DO-214AA is already standardized; requires thermal pad redesign for equivalent cooling |
Compared with MMBZ5255BS and SMBZ5255B, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 delivers identical Zener voltage but uniquely combines 3.0 W capability with SMT compatibility, integral heat sinking, and EIA-481 tape-and-reel - enabling high-power regulation without sacrificing automation or thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5941AE3/TR13?
The 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 47 V, measured at IZT = 8.0 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the E3 suffix denotes the standard ±5% version. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and reference applications.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with an integral heat sink locking tab and full metallic bottom that conducts heat directly from the junction to the PCB copper pad. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, meaning a 3.0 W dissipation causes a 90°C temperature rise above the TAB temperature - requiring adequate copper area and thermal vias for reliable operation.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1PMT5941AE3/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix in 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 specifies EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel packaging on a 13-inch reel containing 12,000 units. This format is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment and ensures consistent feeding and placement accuracy in automated SMT lines - distinguishing it from the 7-inch reel (TR7) variant holding 3,000 pieces.
Can 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5255B?
Yes, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 provides equivalent 47 V Zener functionality but in a surface-mount Powermite® package with 3.0 W rating - matching the power capability of the 1N5255B (500 mW) only when properly heatsinked via its TAB1. Unlike the 1N5255B, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 eliminates flux entrapment risk and supports automated assembly, though PCB layout must accommodate its unique footprint and thermal pad.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) specification for 1PMT5941AE3/TR13?
The maximum reverse voltage (VR) for 1PMT5941AE3/TR13 is 35.8 V, defined as the voltage at which reverse leakage current reaches 1 µA. This parameter establishes the upper limit of non-regulating reverse bias before significant conduction begins - critical for designing clamping thresholds and ensuring safe operation below breakdown in standby conditions.
