Product details
Overview
1PMT5941AE3/TR7 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. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 47 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT placement equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with cathode designated by TAB 1. Its Zener breakdown is specified at 8.0 mA (IZT), with knee current IZK = 0.25 mA and knee impedance ZZK = 1000 Ω - enabling stable regulation even near threshold conduction.
The Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab that functions as both mechanical anchor and thermal path to PCB copper, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance. It complies with EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA, TL = 30°C - defines primary regulation setpoint under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with tab heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | <1 µA at VR = 35.8 V - guarantees high off-state blocking integrity below breakdown |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - enables predictable thermal design when mounting tab to copper pour |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - supports robust handling in uncontrolled manufacturing environments |
| Knee Current IZK | 0.25 mA - minimum current required to enter usable regulation region with ZZK = 1000 Ω |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF47A (ON Semiconductor) | 47 V, 1.0 W, SOD-123 package, 100 Ω ZZT, 35°C/W θJA | Lower power rating limits use to sub-1 W clamping; smaller footprint but less thermal margin | Select when board space is critical and peak surge energy is ≤1 J |
| BZX84-C47 (Diodes Inc.) | 47 V, 300 mW, SOT-23, 100 Ω ZZT, ±5% tolerance, 350°C/W θJA | Not suitable for sustained 3.0 W dissipation; requires external heatsinking for >100 mW | Choose only for low-power reference or signal-level clamping where thermal mass is unavailable |
Compared with SMF47A and BZX84-C47, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 delivers 3× higher power handling and 10× lower thermal resistance via its metal-tab construction - making it uniquely suited for industrial-grade transient suppression where sustained energy absorption and thermal stability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5941AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 47 V, measured at IZT = 8.0 mA and TAB temperature = 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available as custom order options, but the E3/TR7 suffix denotes the standard ±5% version. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in precision reference designs.
How is thermal performance defined for 1PMT5941AE3/TR7?
Thermal performance of the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 is specified as 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance. This means the device can dissipate its full 3.0 W rating only when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C - requiring adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias. Without proper tab heatsinking, power derating is mandatory per the manufacturer's thermal curves.
Is 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its Powermite® package uses matte tin-plated leads and thermally stable molding compound, and the full metallic bottom enhances thermal uniformity during ramp-up - reducing risk of delamination or voiding.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5941AE3/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix in 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, with 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. The "E3" denotes compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free materials. Together, E3/TR7 confirms environmental compliance and automated assembly readiness - critical for high-volume SMT lines.
Can 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 be used as a replacement for through-hole Zeners like 1N5284B?
No, the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement for 1N5284B due to fundamental differences in package, thermal path, and mounting. While both are 47 V Zeners, the 1N5284B is a DO-35 through-hole device rated for 500 mW, whereas the 1PMT5941AE3/TR7 is a DO-216 surface-mount device rated for 3.0 W with tab-based heatsinking. PCB redesign and thermal validation are required.
