Product details
Overview
1PMT5941E3/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 paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5941E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5941E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5941E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5941E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD robustness (>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 tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom and locking tab to enhance thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow soldering.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (≤1000 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) and maintains stable Zener voltage under ambient temperatures from –55°C to +150°C, supporting use in industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA - defines nominal clamping/reference level |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - enables thermal design with known temperature rise per watt |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - supports robust handling in unshielded manufacturing and field environments |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - qualifies for extended industrial and under-hood applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5941B | Same 47 V Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance, but in DO-41 through-hole package; no metallic bottom or locking tab; higher thermal resistance (~50°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated production | Select only when legacy through-hole assembly or lower-cost procurement outweighs thermal and automation advantages |
| BZX84-C47 | 47 V Zener in SOT-23 package; rated for 300 mW only; dynamic impedance ~90 Ω at 5 mA; no ESD rating specified | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W surges or continuous regulation in power rails | Choose only for space-constrained, low-power bias networks where thermal load is negligible |
Compared with 1N5941B and BZX84-C47, the 1PMT5941E3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power handling, 30°C/W thermal resistance, and >16 kV ESD robustness-making it the sole option for automated, high-reliability, medium-power Zener regulation in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5941E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5941E3/TR7 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%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, respectively, but the E3/TR7 variant specifies ±5%. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback and clamping circuits.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5941E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5941E3/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that serves as the primary thermal path. Its junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, meaning TAB 1 must be connected to sufficient PCB copper area to maintain junction temperature within –55°C to +150°C limits under 3.0 W dissipation.
Is 1PMT5941E3/TR7 compatible with standard SMT reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5941E3/TR7 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its molded Powermite® package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C, and the EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (3,000 pcs per 7″ reel) is optimized for high-speed pick-and-place equipment without flux entrapment risk due to its full metallic bottom.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5941E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5941E3/TR7 is <1 µA at VR = 35.8 V (i.e., 76% of nominal Zener voltage). This low leakage ensures minimal loading in high-impedance reference or bias networks, preserving accuracy in precision analog circuits and low-power sensor interfaces.
Does 1PMT5941E3/TR7 meet any ESD immunity standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5941E3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This high ESD threshold supports reliable handling during board assembly and field operation in electrostatic-prone environments such as factory floors and automotive service bays.
