Product details
Overview
1PMT5943BE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a 56 V ±5% surface-mount Zener diode in the Powermite® package, rated for 3.0 W DC power dissipation at TAB 1 = 60°C, with dynamic impedance of 86 Ω at 6.7 mA test current and reverse leakage ≤1 µA at 42.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and regulator feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5943BE3/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.
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.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V), a knee impedance of 0.25 Ω at IZK = 6.7 mA, and is characterized at TL = 30°C with voltage measurement performed 20 seconds after DC current application per Note 1.

| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 86 Ω at IZT = 6.7 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC variations |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 0.25 Ω at IZK = 6.7 mA - reflects low-impedance turn-on behavior near regulation threshold |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - enables thermal modeling for PCB copper pad sizing and heatsinking |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 56 V, measured at IZT = 6.7 mA with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances of ±2% (suffix C) and ±1% (suffix D) are available upon request. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reference circuits where 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 is deployed.
How is thermal performance specified for 1PMT5943BE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 specifies a thermal resistance of 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1, enabling accurate thermal modeling when the metallic TAB is soldered to a PCB copper pour. Its Powermite® package uses a full metallic bottom and locking tab to maximize heat transfer-critical for sustaining the rated 3.0 W dissipation. This thermal design makes 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 suitable for applications where passive cooling must replace active heatsinks.
Can 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 be used in automated SMT assembly?
Yes, 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 is explicitly designed for compatibility with automatic insertion and SMT reflow processes. Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab that prevents rotation during placement and a full metallic bottom that eliminates solder flux entrapment. The device ships in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs; 13″ reel: 12,000 pcs), ensuring reliable feeding in high-volume production lines using 1PMT5943BE3/TR7.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943BE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 42.6 V, measured at TL = 30°C. This low IR value ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks and precision reference dividers-key for maintaining accuracy in circuits where 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 functions as a shunt regulator or voltage clamp.
Is 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 suitable for ESD-sensitive applications?
Yes, 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), making it robust against electrostatic discharge during handling and board-level integration. This ESD rating exceeds typical IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements and supports use in environments where 1PMT5943BE3/TR7 interfaces with connectors, sensors, or external ports subject to user contact.
