PowerPAK SO-8 DUAL

The pin arrangement (drain, source, gate pins) and the pin

dimensions of the PowerPAK SO-8 dual are the same as

standard SO-8 dual devices. Therefore, the PowerPAK

device connection pads match directly to those of the SO-8.

As in the single-channel package, the only exception is the

extended drain connection area. Manufacturers can likewise

take immediate advantage of the PowerPAK SO-8 dual

devices by mounting them to existing SO-8 dual land

patterns.

To take the advantage of the dual PowerPAK SO-8’s

thermal performance, the minimum recommended land

pattern

The gap between the two drain pads is 24 mils. This

matches the spacing of the two drain pads on the

PowerPAK SO-8 dual package.

REFLOW SOLDERING

Vishay Siliconix surface-mount packages meet solder reflow

reliability requirements. Devices are subjected to solder

reflow

as

a

test

preconditioning

and

are

then

reliability-tested using temperature cycle, bias humidity,

HAST, or pressure pot. The solder reflow temperature profile

used, and the temperatures and time duration, are shown in

figures 3 and 4.
