Application Hints
When a value for θ
a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is less than
or equal to this number.
HEATSINKING SOT-223 PACKAGE PARTS
The SOT-223 (“MP”) packages use a copper plane on the
PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink. To optimize the heat
sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the
package to the plane.
Figures 3, 4 show the information for the SOT-223 package.
Figure 4 assumes a θ
51˚C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction tem-
perature of 125˚C.
