The package is suitable for power transistors of open-frame power supplies used in equipment such as television sets and PCs, which are vulnerable to surface contamination by dust and particles. The new package’s extended lead spacing of 4.25mm eliminates the special potting, lead forming, sleeving, or sealing needed to prevent the arcing when using conventional packages with 2.54mm lead spacing.
Super-junction MOSFETs including 1500V device
A portfolio of TO-220 FullPAK (TO-220FP) wide creepage power transistors, introduced by STMicroelectronics, is said to include the world’s first 1500V super-junction MOSFET in an arcing-resistant package.
