Abstract
A surface mount package (10) includes a leadframe (14) facing away from the mounting surface such that the primary heat path is away from the mounting surface. The package may be a modified TO-220, wherein the tab (16) of the leadframe is bent down toward the mounting surface, and the leads (20) are bent down and under the package. Such an embodiment provides for a small footprint and is relatively easy to manufacture.
