Product details
Overview
1PMT5942B/TR13 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 power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5942B/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5942B/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5942B/TR13 application, or 1PMT5942B/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include its 51 V nominal Zener voltage, 3.0 W thermal capability with metallic-tab heat sinking, low knee impedance (≤400 Ω), ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and DO-216-compatible mechanical footprint.
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 from junction to PCB via TAB 1, achieving 30°C/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1100 µA at VR = 38.8 V) and stable dynamic impedance (70 Ω at IZT = 7.3 mA), supporting reliable voltage reference performance in industrial power rails and protection circuits where ambient temperatures reach up to +150°C.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5942B/TR13?
The 1PMT5942B/TR13 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 (±2% and ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base 1PMT5942B/TR13 uses the ±5% grade per MSC0995 Rev F specification.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5942B/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5942B/TR13 uses the Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab (TAB 1) that serves as both cathode and primary thermal conduction path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance enables 3.0 W dissipation when TAB 1 is soldered to a sufficient copper area on the PCB-no external heatsink required.
Can 1PMT5942B/TR13 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5942B/TR13 is qualified for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and features >16 kV HBM ESD rating, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as body control module transient suppression, provided TAB 1 is thermally anchored to meet power dissipation requirements at elevated ambient temperatures.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5942B/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5942B/TR13 is 1100 µA at VR = 38.8 V, as specified in the MSC0995 datasheet. This value is measured at TL = 30°C and reflects worst-case leakage under pre-breakdown conditions, critical for low-power hold-up and reference stability.
Is the 1PMT5942B/TR13 compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, the 1PMT5942B/TR13 is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its molded Powermite® package and full metallic bottom eliminate solder flux entrapment risks, and the device is supplied in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs), supporting high-yield automated placement and reflow processing.
