Product details
Overview
1PMT5941C/TR13 from Microsemi is a 47 V, ±1% 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 1PMT5941C/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5941C/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5941C/TR13 application, or 1PMT5941C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 1% voltage tolerance, low 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly using EIA-481 tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 47 V measured at 8.0 mA (IZT) with TAB 1 temperature held at 30°C. Its 67 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) ensures stable regulation under small-signal current variations, while the 0.25 mA knee current (IZK) defines the onset of reliable breakdown conduction.
The Powermite® package features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab acting as a thermal path to PCB copper, enabling 3.0 W power handling without external heatsinking when mounted on ≥1 sq-in copper area. Junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C, supporting industrial and automotive under-hood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±1% at IZT = 8.0 mA, TL = 30°C - enables precise voltage clamping or reference generation with minimal calibration drift |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - supports high-energy transient suppression in compact layouts without forced airflow |
| Dynamic Impedance | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - limits output voltage variation to <0.5 V per 10 mA load change in regulation circuits |
| Reverse Leakage | <1 µA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures negligible quiescent current draw in battery-powered standby circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling during manual assembly and board-level testing |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA at VZ = 42.6 V - defines minimum current needed to enter stable regulation region |

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, ±5%, 1.0 W, SOD-123FL package, 120°C/W θJA | Lower power rating and higher thermal resistance limit use to <0.5 W continuous loads | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power/thermal requirements and board space permits larger footprint |
| BZX84-C47 (Diodes Inc.) | 47 V, ±5%, 300 mW, SOT-23 package, no metallic thermal tab | Lacks integral heat sink; unsuitable for >300 mW sustained dissipation or high-reliability thermal cycling | Choose only for low-power signal-level referencing where PCB copper area is limited and thermal stress is minimal |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5941C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5941C/TR13 specifies a ±1% zener voltage tolerance at 47 V, measured at 8.0 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. This is tighter than the standard ±5% (B suffix) and supports precision regulation without post-production calibration. The 1PMT5941C/TR13 achieves this via laser-trimmed wafer-level process control.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5941C/TR13?
1PMT5941C/TR13 has a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, meaning each watt dissipated raises the junction temperature 30°C above the TAB 1 temperature. For full 3.0 W operation, TAB 1 must be maintained at ≤60°C-achievable with ≥1 square inch of 2-oz copper connected directly to TAB 1. Derating is required above 60°C TAB temperature.
Can 1PMT5941C/TR13 be used in automated SMT assembly?
Yes, 1PMT5941C/TR13 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel: 12,000 pieces) and features a Powermite® package optimized for pick-and-place machines. Its full metallic bottom prevents solder flux entrapment, and the locking tab ensures mechanical stability during reflow-enabling high-yield, zero-defect automated assembly without special tooling.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5941C/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5941C/TR13 is <1 µA at a reverse voltage of 35.8 V (76% of nominal VZ), tested at TL = 30°C. This ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits and minimizes error in high-impedance reference dividers-critical for precision analog sensing applications using the 1PMT5941C/TR13.
Does 1PMT5941C/TR13 meet industry ESD standards?
Yes, 1PMT5941C/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding JEDEC JS-001 Class 3A requirements. This level of ESD immunity allows safe handling during manual board rework, functional testing, and final system integration without requiring additional protection components-reducing BOM count and layout complexity in designs using the 1PMT5941C/TR13.
