Package and mounting — TO263-7 with tab
The PG-TO263-7 package (D²Pak variant with 6 leads plus the tab) is a surface-mount power package. The tab is the drain connection and must be soldered to a copper island on the PCB for both electrical connection and thermal dissipation. The 6 leads are gate, source, and sense connections — the tab carries the bulk of the drain current. Ensure the PCB layout provides a low-inductance gate-drive loop and sufficient copper area on the drain island to handle the 214 W dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures.
Lifecycle and compliance
