The TO-220-3 package (supplier device package TO-220AB) is a standard through-hole footprint. The tab is internally connected to the MT2 terminal — account for this when heatsinking or isolating the device. The Bulk packaging means loose tubes, not tape-and-reel; order quantities should reflect tube multiples if automated insertion is planned.
For a BOM line, this part is a current-production item with no imminent supply risk.
