Product details
Overview
1PMT5943E3/TR7 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 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 1PMT5943E3/TR7 datasheet, 1PMT5943E3/TR7 pinout, 1PMT5943E3/TR7 application, or 1PMT5943E3/TR7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, 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, designed for stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab enable reliable thermal transfer and flux-free reflow soldering.
The device exhibits low reverse leakage (≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V), tight voltage tolerance (±5%), and high ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), making it suitable for industrial and automotive power supply monitoring where long-term stability and assembly reliability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at IZT = 6.7 mA, TL = 30°C - defines nominal regulation point with production-grade tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TAB 1 = 60°C - maximum continuous DC power handling with defined thermal boundary condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 86 Ω at IZT = 6.7 mA - small-signal AC impedance affecting regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 1300 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - impedance near breakdown threshold, critical for low-current regulation fidelity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 42.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in protection circuits before conduction onset |
| Thermal Resistance | 30°C/W junction-to-TAB1 - quantifies thermal path efficiency from die to mounting tab for thermal design margining |
| ESD Rating | >16 kV per Human Body Model - supports robust handling and operation in unshielded industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: Powermite® surface-mount molded package with full metallic bottom and integral heat sink locking tab; cathode designated by TAB 1; mechanical outline conforms to DO-216; weight ≈ 0.016 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5943B | Same 56 V ±5% VZ and 3.0 W rating, but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (~50°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher standoff voltage (1000 VPRM) is required |
| BZX84-C56 | 56 V ±5% in SOT-23; lower power rating (300 mW); 150 Ω ZZT at 5 mA; no metallic heat sink tab | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; cannot handle sustained 3.0 W dissipation | Select only for space-constrained signal conditioning, not power rail regulation or surge suppression |
Compared with 1PMT5943E3/TR7, 1N5943B offers identical electrical specs but lacks SMT thermal advantages, while BZX84-C56 trades power capability for footprint reduction-neither provides the 3.0 W SMT-regulation capability and 30°C/W thermal path of the 1PMT5943E3/TR7.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1PMT5943E3/TR7?
The 1PMT5943E3/TR7 has a standard Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 56 V, measured at 6.7 mA test current with TAB 1 held at 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) are available with suffixes C and D respectively, but the base 1PMT5943E3/TR7 part uses the ±5% grade. This tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy in precision feedback and protection circuits.
How is thermal management handled in the 1PMT5943E3/TR7 package?
The 1PMT5943E3/TR7 uses the Powermite® package with an integral heat sink locking tab and full metallic bottom to achieve a junction-to-TAB1 thermal resistance of 30°C/W. TAB 1 serves as the cathode and primary thermal interface-designers must connect it to adequate PCB copper area to maintain the 3.0 W power rating at TAB 1 = 60°C. No external heatsink is required for typical industrial duty cycles.
What does the "E3/TR7" suffix indicate in 1PMT5943E3/TR7?
The "E3" suffix denotes compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL 3), requiring bake-out before reflow if exposed to ambient beyond floor life. "TR7" specifies packaging in 7-inch tape-and-reel per EIA-481, containing 3,000 units. Both markings are critical for manufacturing planning and SMT line setup when using the 1PMT5943E3/TR7.
Can 1PMT5943E3/TR7 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PMT5943E3/TR7 is qualified for automotive use with a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and >16 kV HBM ESD rating. Its Powermite® package eliminates flux entrapment and supports automated insertion-key for Tier 1 supplier production. It is commonly deployed in engine control unit (ECU) overvoltage protection and 48 V mild-hybrid subsystems where 56 V clamping is required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943E3/TR7?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1PMT5943E3/TR7 is 1 µA at a reverse voltage of 42.6 V (75% of nominal VZ), measured at TL = 30°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in standby mode and high impedance in non-conducting state-critical for battery-powered systems and precision reference applications where loading must be avoided.
