Product details
Overview
1PMT5943CE3/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 86 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.7 mA test current and 1300 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in compact DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), reverse leakage (≤1 µA at 42.6 V), and compatibility with EIA-481 tape-and-reel automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with cathode designated by TAB 1, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting stable regulation under transient load conditions.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V) and tight dynamic impedance control (86 Ω at IZT = 6.7 mA), enabling accurate clamping in low-power protection circuits. Junction temperature range is -55°C to +150°C, with thermal resistance of 30°C/W from junction to TAB 1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943CE3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the MSC0995 datasheet. This tolerance applies at test current IZT = 6.7 mA and TAB temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% or ±1%) are available with suffixes C or D, but the CE3/TR7 variant uses the standard ±5% grade.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 uses Microsemi's Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab that directly conducts heat from the junction to the PCB. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB, enabling effective passive cooling without external heatsinks when mounted on adequate copper area.
Is 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 is supplied in EIA-481 standard tape-and-reel format (7-inch reel, 3,000 pieces) and features a surface-mount Powermite® package optimized for pick-and-place equipment. Its locking tab and flux-free metallic bottom ensure reliable placement and void-free reflow soldering in high-volume production.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943CE3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 42.6 V (76% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient designs, especially in battery-powered or always-on monitoring applications where standby current must be minimized.
Does 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 meet any ESD robustness standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5943CE3/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD standard, as confirmed in the MSC0995 datasheet. This high ESD rating ensures resilience during handling, automated assembly, and field operation-critical for automotive and industrial applications exposed to electrostatic discharge events.
