HEATSINKING TO-263 PACKAGE

The TO-263 package uses the copper plane on the PCB as

a heatsink. The tab of these packages are soldered to the

copper plane for heat sinking. Figure 5 shows a curve for the

JA of TO-263 package for different copper area sizes, using

a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over

the copper area for heat sinking.

As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1

square inch produces very little improvement. The minimum

value for

JA for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is

32˚C/W.

Figure 6 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation

for TO-263 packages for different ambient temperatures,

assuming

JA is 35˚C/W and the maximum junction tempera-

ture is 125˚C.
