Product details
Overview
1PMT5941B 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 1000 µA max 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 1PMT5941B datasheet, 1PMT5941B pinout, 1PMT5941B application, or 1PMT5941B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 47 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability via metallic tab, DO-216 mechanical outline, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - critical for ruggedized power supply and protection designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across its specified test current range (IZT = 8.0 mA). Its thermal resistance of 30°C/W (junction-to-TAB1) enables reliable power handling when mounted on thermally conductive PCB pads.
The device features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab for mechanical stability and enhanced heat transfer during reflow or wave soldering. Cathode is unambiguously designated by TAB 1 per mechanical drawings and electrical test setup.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 8.0 mA, TL = 30°C - defines stable clamping/reference point in regulated supplies |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - supports sustained operation in compact industrial power stages |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 67 Ω at IZT = 8.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1000 µA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - requires direct thermal pad connection to dissipate 3 W safely |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and system-level electrostatic events |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.25 mA - minimum current needed to enter useful regulation region near VZ |

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) | Same 47 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 1.0 W rating, 100 Ω Zzt | Limited to lower-power applications due to 1.0 W dissipation vs. 3.0 W | Select when board space is constrained and thermal budget allows ≤1 W continuous dissipation |
| BZX84-C47 (Diodes Inc.) | 47 V ±5%, SOT-23, 300 mW rating, 100 Ω Zzt, no metallic tab | Not suitable for high-power clamping; lacks thermal interface for >0.5 W operation | Choose only for signal-level referencing where power handling is not required |
Compared with SMF47A and BZX84-C47, the 1PMT5941B delivers triple the power dissipation and superior thermal management via its metallic TAB 1, making it uniquely suited for industrial-grade 47 V clamping where sustained 3 W operation and ESD resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1PMT5941B?
The 1PMT5941B is rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This rating assumes proper thermal design - including a copper thermal pad connected to TAB 1 - and accounts for voltage derating at higher currents and temperatures per Micro Note 202. Exceeding this limit risks permanent degradation of the 1PMT5941B's Zener characteristics.
How is the cathode identified on the 1PMT5941B package?
The cathode of the 1PMT5941B is designated by TAB 1, as confirmed in the mechanical specifications and circuit diagram of MSC0995.PDF. TAB 1 is the large metallic surface on the bottom of the Powermite® package and must be soldered to a thermal pad to serve both electrical and thermal functions. Lead 2 is the anode.
Does the 1PMT5941B have an ESD rating, and if so, what is it?
Yes, the 1PMT5941B has an ESD rating of >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the FEATURES section of MSC0995.PDF. This high level of ESD immunity reduces susceptibility to damage during handling and assembly, and lessens the need for additional board-level ESD protection when using the 1PMT5941B in sensitive input or output clamping roles.
What is the dynamic impedance of the 1PMT5941B, and why does it matter?
The 1PMT5941B has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 67 Ω measured at IZT = 8.0 mA. This value quantifies how much the Zener voltage changes under small-signal AC current variations - lower ZZT means tighter voltage regulation during load transients. In practice, this enables stable reference performance in feedback networks and low-drift clamping in 47 V power systems using the 1PMT5941B.
Can the 1PMT5941B be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like the 1N5275B?
The 1PMT5941B is not a direct replacement for the 1N5275B (47 V, 0.5 W, DO-35) due to fundamental differences in package, power rating, and thermal path. While both provide 47 V regulation, the 1PMT5941B delivers 3.0 W dissipation via its metallic TAB 1, whereas the 1N5275B is limited to 0.5 W. Substitution requires PCB layout revision to accommodate the DO-216 footprint and thermal pad - the 1PMT5941B is not a drop-in upgrade.
