Product details
Overview
1PMT5943C/TR7 from Microsemi is a 56 V, ±1% 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 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943C/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5943C/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5943C/TR7 application, or 1PMT5943C/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include tight voltage tolerance (±1%), low reverse leakage (<1 µA at 42.6 V), ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly per 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, requiring no external biasing circuitry. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable efficient thermal conduction to the PCB pad while eliminating solder flux entrapment during reflow.
The device exhibits stable Zener breakdown behavior across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, with specified parameters measured at TL = 30°C and validated under DC conditions with 20-second stabilization time after current application per Micro Note 202.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943C/TR7?
The "C" suffix in 1PMT5943C/TR7 denotes ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 56 V, verified per Microsemi's test conditions (IZT = 6.7 mA, TL = 30°C). This tighter tolerance reduces system-level calibration burden compared to standard ±5% versions like 1PMT5943B/TR7 and supports precision feedback applications without trimming.
How is thermal management implemented in the 1PMT5943C/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5943C/TR7 uses a Powermite® package with a full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab (TAB 1) that serves as both cathode and primary thermal path. Its 30°C/W junction-to-TAB thermal resistance requires direct soldering to a minimum 1-in² 2-oz copper pad for full 3.0 W rating-no external heatsink needed under controlled board layout.
Is 1PMT5943C/TR7 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, 1PMT5943C/TR7 is fully compatible with automated insertion and reflow soldering. Its Powermite® package features symmetric lead geometry and a flat metallic bottom designed for stable placement and uniform wetting. It ships in EIA-481-compliant tape-and-reel format (7″ reel: 3,000 pcs), supporting high-throughput pick-and-place equipment without tombstoning or alignment issues.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943C/TR7 at rated voltage?
At VR = 42.6 V (76% of nominal 56 V Zener voltage), the 1PMT5943C/TR7 exhibits ≤1 µA reverse leakage current, measured at TL = 30°C. This ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference divider networks and minimizes standby power loss in always-on protection circuits.
Does 1PMT5943C/TR7 meet industry ESD standards?
Yes, 1PMT5943C/TR7 is rated for >16 kV per Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding JEDEC JS-001 Class 3B requirements. This robustness allows safe handling and assembly in standard electronics manufacturing environments without requiring additional ESD mitigation on the PCB or in the production line.
