MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Heat from the device is transferred via the leads and the
metallized underside. For optimum heat transfer it is
recommended that the transistor be mounted on a
grounded metallized area on the component side of the
printed-circuitboard.Thismetallizedareashouldcontaina
large number of metallized, solder-filled through-holes.
The non-component side of the printed-circuit board forms
a ground plane. When the printed-circuit board is mounted
on the heatsink using heatsink compound, a thermal
resistance from mounting base to heatsink of 0.9 K/W can
be attained.
