Product details
Overview
1PMT5942BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 51 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 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 7.3 mA test current and 1100 µA max reverse leakage at 38.8 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 51 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 Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load or line conditions. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom (TAB 1) as both cathode terminal and primary heat path, with thermal resistance of 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1.
The device exhibits low knee impedance (≤400 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) and tight regulation across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction range), supporting reliable clamping in industrial power supplies and automotive subsystems where transient suppression and reference stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±5% at IZT = 7.3 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-energy transient absorption without external heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω at IZT = 7.3 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under moderate current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1100 µA max at VR = 38.8 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or chassis for passive cooling |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - provides robust handling and system-level ESD immunity without added protection devices |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® (DO-216AA), molded surface-mount package with full metallic bottom (TAB 1) acting as cathode and primary thermal interface. Dimensions conform to DO-216 mechanical outline (all dimensions ±0.005 inch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary current return path and thermal conduction surface - must be soldered to ≥1 cm² copper area for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Signal-side connection point - routed with minimal trace length to reduce parasitic inductance in fast transient clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral heat sink locking tab | Mechanical tab on TAB 1 enhances thermal contact and prevents lift-off during reflow, enabling consistent 3.0 W derating |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during assembly - improves long-term reliability in high-humidity environments |
| Automated insertion compatibility | DO-216 footprint and tape-and-reel packaging (EIA-481, 7″/3,000 pcs) support high-speed pick-and-place at ≥25,000 UPH |
| Tight voltage tolerance option | Available in ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) - supports precision feedback loops in isolated DC-DC converters |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping 48 V intermediate bus transients caused by load dump or relay switching in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode providing fast-response overvoltage protection at input stage of DC-DC converter. Use Value: 51 V clamping threshold aligns with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements; 3.0 W rating absorbs 100 ms surges without degradation. | Use Scenario: Voltage reference for microcontroller ADC biasing in rear lighting control units exposed to 12 V battery fluctuations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt reference stabilizing 5 V LDO feedback node against battery ripple and cold-crank dips. Use Value: ±5% VZ tolerance and <70 Ω ZZT ensure ADC reference drift remains <0.5% over –40°C to +125°C ambient. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-reacting Zener limiting residual voltage spikes to protect ASIC I/O pins. Use Value: >16 kV HBM ESD rating eliminates need for additional TVS diodes; DO-216 footprint saves board space vs. SMA packages. | Use Scenario: Overvoltage detection circuit triggering shutdown when main 24 V supply exceeds safe limit during motor stall events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold detector element interfacing with comparator input to initiate fault response within 10 µs. Use Value: Low 1100 µA IR at 38.8 V ensures negligible quiescent current draw in battery-backed safety circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ51A | TVS diode (unidirectional), 51 V standoff, 600 W peak pulse power, higher capacitance (~200 pF) | Designed for high-energy surge suppression (IEC 61000-4-5), not precision regulation | Select for lightning-induced transients; avoid where low leakage or tight DC regulation is required |
| BZX84-C51 | SOT-23 Zener, 51 V ±5%, 300 mW PD, 300 Ω ZZT, no integral heatsink | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA continuous current | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained logic-level protection; not for 3.0 W power rail clamping |
Compared with SMCJ51A and BZX84-C51, the 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 uniquely delivers 3.0 W DC power handling in a surface-mount package with metallic thermal path, making it suitable for sustained overvoltage clamping where both precision and power endurance are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5942BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 51 V, measured at IZT = 7.3 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request but are not applicable to the E3/TR7 variant.
How is thermal management implemented for 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 in high-power operation?
The 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 uses TAB 1 as both cathode and primary thermal interface, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. To achieve full 3.0 W rating, TAB 1 must be soldered to ≥1 cm² of 2 oz copper on the PCB, and ambient temperature at the tab must not exceed 60°C.
Does 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 meet automotive qualification standards?
The 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but its operating junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), >16 kV HBM ESD rating, and robust Powermite® package make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive applications such as body control modules and lighting drivers when validated per customer-specific stress testing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 at rated voltage?
At VR = 38.8 V (76% of nominal 51 V), the 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1100 µA. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and supports low-quiescent-current designs in always-on monitoring circuits.
Is 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5942BE3/TR7 is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020), including peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds. Its molded Powermite® package and metallic tab construction ensure mechanical integrity and solder joint reliability under repeated thermal cycling.
