Product details
Overview
1PMT5943E3/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 dynamic impedance of 86 Ω at 6.7 mA test current, and ESD rating >16 kV HBM - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1PMT5943E3/TR13 datasheet, 1PMT5943E3/TR13 pinout, 1PMT5943E3/TR13 application, or 1PMT5943E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (30°C/W junction-to-TAB), reverse leakage (<1 µA at 42.6 V), knee current (0.25 mA), 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 and anode connected to the molded body. Its Powermite® package integrates a full metallic bottom for flux-free soldering and locking tabs that serve as integral heat sinks, enabling reliable thermal transfer to PCB copper.
The device is characterized at TL = 30°C with IZT = 6.7 mA, VZ = 56 V, ZZT = 86 Ω, and IR ≤ 1 µA at VR = 42.6 V. Junction-to-TAB thermal resistance is 30°C/W, supporting stable regulation under sustained 3.0 W dissipation when TAB 1 is maintained at ≤60°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 56 V ±5% at IZT = 6.7 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary |
| Dynamic Impedance | 86 Ω at 6.7 mA - low AC impedance ensures stable output voltage under small-signal load variation |
| Knee Current | 0.25 mA - minimum current required to enter regulated region with acceptable voltage deviation |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤1 µA at 42.6 V - guarantees minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB - enables thermal design using TAB 1 as primary heat path to PCB |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per HBM - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without additional protection |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943E3/TR13?
The 1PMT5943E3/TR13 has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 56 V, measured at IZT = 6.7 mA and TAB 1 temperature of 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base part number 1PMT5943E3/TR13 specifies ±5%.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5943E3/TR13 package?
The 1PMT5943E3/TR13 uses its metallic TAB 1 as the primary thermal path, with a specified junction-to-TAB thermal resistance of 30°C/W. The Powermite® package's locking tabs act as integral heat sinks, and the full metallic bottom ensures efficient conduction into the PCB copper, enabling 3.0 W dissipation when TAB 1 is held at ≤60°C.
Is 1PMT5943E3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1PMT5943E3/TR13 is explicitly designed for compatibility with automatic insertion equipment. Its Powermite® package features a unique locking tab geometry and full metallic bottom that prevent solder flux entrapment, ensuring reliable reflow soldering and high-yield placement in EIA-481 tape-and-reel format (13-inch reel: 12,000 pieces).
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943E3/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943E3/TR13 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 42.6 V (75% of nominal 56 V), tested at TL = 30°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes standby power loss in precision regulation circuits.
Does 1PMT5943E3/TR13 meet any ESD standards?
Yes, the 1PMT5943E3/TR13 is rated for >16 kV per the Human Body Model (HBM) ESD standard. This level of robustness allows safe handling in automated SMT lines and eliminates the need for additional on-board ESD protection in many industrial and power supply applications.
