Through-hole TO-220 — rework-friendly, easy to heatsink
The TO-220-3 package is a through-hole part with a metal tab for bolting to a heatsink. The 315 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature assumes a good thermal interface — a thermal pad or grease and a properly torqued screw. No special reflow profile needed; hand-solder or wave-solder with standard leaded or lead-free process.
