Abstract
A transistor outline package having a feedthrough via and lead configuration that maximizes the amount of usable area on a header of the package is disclosed. In one embodiment, the package includes a header having an interior surface that includes a first and second lead assembly. The first lead assembly includes two vias having a first diameter, with each first via being positioned along a first pin circle imaginarily defined on the interior surface of the header. Each first via also includes first leads received therein. The second lead assembly includes four vias having a second diameter each, with each second via being positioned along a second pin circle that has a diameter greater than that of the first pin circle. Each second via includes second leads received therein. This configuration increases usable area on the header interior surface between the leads, enabling relatively larger submounts to be placed thereon.
