Product details
Overview
1PMT5943BE3/TR13 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, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943BE3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5943BE3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5943BE3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5943BE3/TR13 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 as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, designed for stable regulation under DC bias conditions where precise clamping at 56 V is required. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink tab enable efficient thermal transfer to the PCB, supporting continuous 3.0 W dissipation when mounted on adequate copper area.
The device exhibits tight voltage control across temperature (–55°C to +150°C junction range) and low reverse leakage (≤1300 µA at VR = 42.6 V), with dynamic impedance measured at 60 Hz AC superimposed on 6.7 mA DC test current - confirming suitability for low-noise, medium-power regulation tasks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at IZT = 6.7 mA, TC = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point for feedback and clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with standard PCB thermal relief |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 86 Ω at IZT = 6.7 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1300 µA at VR = 42.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB 1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency to PCB copper for thermal management design |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling in automated manufacturing without special ESD controls |
| Package | Powermite® (DO-216) - surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and locking heat sink tab |
Pinout & Package
Powermite® package features a 2-terminal surface-mount construction with cathode identified by TAB 1. The full metallic bottom serves as both mechanical anchor and thermal interface; no separate anode/cathode pins - terminals are TAB 1 (cathode) and molded body (anode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Cathode | Primary thermal and electrical connection point; must be soldered to copper pour for rated 3.0 W dissipation |
| Molded Body | Anode | Exposed metallization on side of package; forms second terminal and contributes to thermal conduction path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integral Heat Sink Locking Tab | TAB 1 acts as structural and thermal anchor, enabling direct PCB copper coupling for 30°C/W thermal resistance |
| Full Metallic Bottom | Eliminates solder flux entrapment during reflow, improving long-term reliability and void-free solder joints |
| EIA-481 Tape & Reel Packaging | Compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment; 13-inch reel holds 12,000 units |
| Low Reverse Leakage | 1300 µA max at 42.6 V enables use in high-impedance sensing and bias networks without signal degradation |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |

Use Value: 56 V output with 86 Ω dynamic impedance supports stable operation even with moderate load variations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355B | Same 56 V nominal, but DO-204AL package; higher thermal resistance (50°C/W); 5 W rating at 25°C ambient only | Requires larger PCB pad for thermal performance; not optimized for automated SMT placement | Select when higher peak power needed and manual or wave-solder assembly is used |
| BZX84-C56 | SOT-23 package; 56 V ±5%; lower power (500 mW); 15 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Limited to low-power bias/reference roles; unsuitable for >0.5 W continuous dissipation | Select for space-constrained, low-current applications where thermal mass is not required |
