Electronic – MOSFET package with lower thermal resistance than D2PAK

heatmosfetpackages

As far as PCB surface mount MOSFET packages go, does D2PAK generally have the lowest thermal (junction to ambient) resistance? Are there other packages with lower \$R_{jc}\$?

Best Answer

Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance has a lot to do with the PCB design, PCB materials and any heat sinking.

Have a look at, for example, the IRF7749, which can have junction to ambient of 12.5°C/W with a clip heatsink and lots of copper on the board.
