The full-pak isolates the tab electrically, so the device can be bolted directly to a grounded heatsink without an insulating pad — a clean mechanical fit for PFC stages, flyback converters, and LLC resonant supplies where the primary-side switch sees bulk DC bus voltage.
Thermal and package — bolting it down
The PG-TO220-FP full-pak case is electrically isolated — the metal tab is not connected to the drain, so you can mount it directly to a chassis or heatsink without a thermal pad or shoulder washer.
