Product details
Overview
1PMT5943C/TR13 from Microsemi is a 56 V ±2% Zener diode in Powermite® surface-mount 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, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943C/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5943C/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5943C/TR13 application, or 1PMT5943C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±2% suffix C), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB1), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), low knee impedance (≤1300 Ω), 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 tight voltage control across temperature (−55°C to +150°C junction range) and maintains low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V), enabling reliable clamping in low-power sensing and feedback paths where precision and stability are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5943C | DO-41 through-hole package; same 56 V ±2%, but higher thermal resistance (~65°C/W) and no metallic heat sink tab | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs or thermally constrained layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly is required and thermal margin exceeds 30°C/W |
| BZX84-C56 | SOT-23 package; 56 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 150 Ω dynamic impedance; no specified HBM ESD rating | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot sustain 3.0 W surges or replace 1PMT5943C/TR13 in power rail protection | Select only for space-constrained signal-path references where power dissipation < 0.3 W |
Compared with 1N5943C and BZX84-C56, the 1PMT5943C/TR13 uniquely combines SMT manufacturability, 3.0 W power handling, ±2% tolerance, and >16 kV ESD in a single DO-216 package-enabling direct replacement in high-reliability power regulation where thermal and ESD robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5943C/TR13 denotes a ±2% zener voltage tolerance at 56 V nominal, verified per Microsemi's MSC0995 specification. This tighter tolerance enables higher accuracy in feedback loops compared to standard ±5% parts like 1PMT5943B/TR13, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table where VZ = 56 V with IZT = 6.7 mA at TL = 30°C.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5943C/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5943C/TR13 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab that conducts heat directly from the silicon junction to the PCB copper. Its specified thermal resistance is 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1, meaning a 3.0 W dissipation raises junction temperature by 90°C above TAB1 temperature-so mounting TAB1 to ≥1 sq-in. of 2-oz copper is essential for reliable operation.
Is 1PMT5943C/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, 1PMT5943C/TR13 is designed for compatibility with automatic insertion equipment and standard reflow soldering. It ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel, 12,000 pieces), and its Powermite® package geometry-including the locking tab and flat metallic base-ensures stable pick-and-place and prevents tombstoning during reflow.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943C/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943C/TR13 is 1 µA at VR = 42.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference or bias networks, and remains valid across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Does 1PMT5943C/TR13 have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, 1PMT5943C/TR13 has an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the FEATURES section of the MSC0995 datasheet. This intrinsic robustness eliminates the need for external ESD suppressors in most board-level applications and supports safe handling during standard SMT manufacturing without dedicated ESD workstations.
