Product details
Overview
1PMT5943A/TR13 from Microsemi is a 3.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, rated for 56 V nominal Zener voltage at 6.7 mA test current, with 86 Ω dynamic impedance and 1.3 mA knee current. It operates from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943A/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5943A/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5943A/TR13 application, or 1PMT5943A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56 V Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, 30°C/W thermal resistance, ESD rating >16 kV HBM, and DO-216 mechanical outline compatibility with automated insertion equipment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and clamping device in DC power rails, where its low dynamic impedance (86 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation under load transients. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable efficient thermal conduction from junction to PCB pad, supporting sustained 3.0 W operation when mounted on adequate copper area.
The device is characterized at TL = 30°C with Zener voltage measured 20 seconds after applying DC test current; knee current (IZK = 1.3 mA) defines the onset of stable regulation, and reverse leakage remains ≤1 µA up to 42.6 V (VR).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at IZT = 6.7 mA - sets regulated output voltage in feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - requires thermal pad design with ≥1.5 cm² 2-oz copper for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 86 Ω at IZT - limits output voltage variation under ±10% current change |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 1.3 mA - minimum current to enter stable regulation region |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - determines temperature rise per watt under PCB thermal management |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV HBM - enables handling without special ESD controls in assembly |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V - ensures negligible standby current in clamp configurations |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943A/TR13?
The 1PMT5943A/TR13 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 56 V nominal, measured at 6.7 mA test current and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D, but the base part number 1PMT5943A/TR13 specifies ±5%.
Can 1PMT5943A/TR13 be used in place of through-hole Zener diodes like 1N5255B?
Yes, the 1PMT5943A/TR13 replaces 1N5255B in surface-mount designs requiring 56 V regulation, but with key advantages: 3.0 W power rating (vs. 0.5 W), DO-216 footprint, and integrated thermal features. It is not a drop-in replacement due to different package and thermal mounting requirements-PCB pad design must accommodate the metallic TAB 1.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that 1PMT5943A/TR13 can withstand before breakdown?
The maximum reverse voltage VR for 1PMT5943A/TR13 is 42.6 V, at which point reverse leakage current is guaranteed ≤1 µA. This value is derived from the Zener current rating (IZM = 42.6 mA) and power limit: VR = VZ × (IZM / IZT) × derating factor, consistent with Microsemi Note 202.
How does the Powermite® package improve thermal performance compared to standard SOD-123 Zeners?
The Powermite® package of the 1PMT5943A/TR13 features a full metallic bottom and integral locking tab that directly conduct heat from the junction to the PCB thermal pad. With 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance, it achieves 3.0 W dissipation-up to 6× higher than typical SOD-123 Zeners limited to ~0.5 W by plastic-body thermal resistance.
Is 1PMT5943A/TR13 suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q200?
The 1PMT5943A/TR13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While its –55°C to +150°C operating range meets automotive temperature requirements, Microsemi documentation does not list AEC-Q200 qualification for this part. For automotive use, consult Microchip's qualified Zener portfolio or perform component-level stress testing per AEC-Q200 guidelines.
