Product details
Overview
1PMT5943AE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 56 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 86 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.7 mA test current and 1300 µA max reverse leakage at 42.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance, 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 reverse leakage (≤1300 µA at VR = 42.6 V), 30°C/W thermal resistance from junction to TAB 1, and is characterized at TL = 30°C with voltage measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application per Note 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% - stable regulation point for feedback or clamping at nominal 6.7 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - enables high-power operation without external heatsink in compact layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 86 Ω at IZT = 6.7 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1300 µA at VR = 42.6 V - low off-state current preserves efficiency in standby or sensing circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - supports reliable thermal management when mounted on copper pads |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - robust handling in automated assembly and end-use environments |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - sharp turn-on characteristic improves low-current regulation accuracy |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat-sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mounting position unrestricted; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary heat-dissipating terminal; must be connected to thermal pad or ground plane for rated 3.0 W operation |
| Lead 2 | Anode | Standard anode connection; electrically isolated from TAB 1; used for series bias or sensing paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Surface-mount Powermite® package | Enables automated placement and reflow while delivering 3.0 W power handling previously limited to larger through-hole packages |
| Integral heat-sink locking tab | Provides mechanical anchoring and direct thermal path from junction to PCB copper, reducing thermal resistance to 30°C/W |
| Full metallic bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment risk during assembly, improving long-term reliability and solder joint integrity |
| ESD robustness | >16 kV HBM rating allows safe handling in standard manufacturing environments without special ESD controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 56 V nominal Zener voltage but DO-41 package; 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; better suited for prototyping or low-volume through-hole designs | Select 1N5355B only if through-hole assembly is mandated and higher power headroom is needed |
| BZX84-C56 | SOT-23 package; 56 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 150 Ω dynamic impedance; no metallic thermal tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 3.0 W continuous dissipation or high-current regulation | Choose BZX84-C56 only for space-constrained, low-power signal conditioning where thermal performance is secondary |
Compared with 1N5355B and BZX84-C56, the 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 uniquely combines SMT compatibility, 3.0 W power capability, and 30°C/W thermal resistance via its Powermite® metallic tab-making it the only option among the three viable for high-reliability, high-power surface-mount voltage regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 56 V, measured at 6.7 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request, but the base 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 variant ships with ±5% as specified in MSC0995 Rev F.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5943AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 has a junction-to-TAB 1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W, enabling 3.0 W DC power dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at 60°C. This requires adequate copper area and thermal vias beneath TAB 1; derating is necessary above 60°C ambient or with insufficient PCB thermal mass.
Is 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 is supplied in EIA-481 compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs) and features a Powermite® package designed specifically for compatibility with automatic insertion and reflow equipment, including flux-free assembly due to its full metallic bottom.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943AE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1300 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 42.6 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This value reflects worst-case leakage under defined test conditions and remains well below typical design thresholds for low-power standby circuits.
Does 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the 1PMT5943AE3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV electrostatic discharge per the Human Body Model (HBM), verified per JEDEC JS-001. This level of ESD robustness eliminates the need for additional protection circuitry during handling and board assembly, supporting high-yield automated manufacturing.
