Mounting recommendations
Both the metallized rear side and the leads of the device contribute to the heat flow. For the best results, it is
recommended to mount the transistor on a grounded metallized area on the printed-circuit board, which is equipped with
a large number of through metallized holes filled with solder.
When the heatsink is mounted to the rear side of the printed-circuit board by means of heatsink compound, a thermal
resistance between the mounting base and the heatsink of 0.9 K/W can be achieved.
