Product details
Overview
1PMT5941A/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 and regulator feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5941A/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5941A/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5941A/TR7 application, or 1PMT5941A/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 47 V nominal. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow.
Electrical behavior is characterized at TL = 30°C with defined test conditions: IZT = 8.0 mA, VR = 35.8 V (max), IR ≤ 1 µA, and ZZK = 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - confirming stable regulation across low-current and high-precision biasing scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA - sets precise clamping/reference level in feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables robust operation without external heatsink in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 35.8 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or battery-powered circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - supports predictable thermal design with direct PCB copper pad conduction |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides inherent protection against handling-induced discharge events |
Pinout & Package
The 1PMT5941A/TR7 uses a DO-216 (Powermite®) surface-mount package with molded body and full metallic bottom. Cathode is designated by TAB 1; anode is the opposite terminal. Mounting orientation is unrestricted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat path and voltage reference node; must be connected to thermal pad or ground plane |
| Opposite Terminal | Anode | Current entry point during reverse-bias operation; connects to regulated rail or feedback node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling in footprint smaller than DO-41 |
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Improves thermal transfer to PCB copper and prevents component rotation during soldering |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk and enhances thermal reliability in high-volume production |
| ESD robustness >16 kV HBM | Reduces need for external ESD protection in board-level transient suppression designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4752A | Same 47 V nominal, but DO-41 through-hole package; 1.0 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires manual or wave-solder assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select only when legacy through-hole compatibility or lower-cost procurement is prioritized over thermal performance |
| BZX84-C47 | SOT-23 package; 47 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; no metallic thermal tab; 250°C/W junction-to-air | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained logic-level protection where power handling is secondary |
Compared with 1N4752A and BZX84-C47, the 1PMT5941A/TR7 uniquely combines 3.0 W SMT power handling, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and ESD-hardened construction - making it the only option suitable for industrial-grade DC rail clamping with automated manufacturing requirements.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5941A/TR7?
The 1PMT5941A/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 47 V, measured at IZT = 8.0 mA with TAB 1 temperature held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5941A/TR7 specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5941A/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5941A/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to the PCB copper pad. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, enabling reliable 3.0 W operation when mounted on ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper with thermal vias.
Is 1PMT5941A/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5941A/TR7 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its molded package and metallic terminations withstand peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The device's maximum junction temperature rating of +150°C further supports compatibility with standard Pb-free thermal profiles.
What does the "TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5941A/TR7?
The "TR7" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA Standard 481, with 7-inch reels containing 3,000 units. This format ensures compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment and supports automated SMT assembly lines without manual handling or bulk feeding.
Can 1PMT5941A/TR7 be used in place of older through-hole Zeners like 1N4752A?
While both devices share a 47 V nominal zener voltage, the 1PMT5941A/TR7 is not a drop-in replacement due to its surface-mount Powermite® package, 3.0 W rating, and thermal interface requirements. PCB layout redesign and thermal pad implementation are necessary - unlike the through-hole 1N4752A which relies on leads for heat dissipation.
