STTH3002CG-TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A 2-layer PCB with a solid ground plane on the bottom layer and a thermal relief pattern on the top layer is recommended. This helps to dissipate heat efficiently and reduce thermal resistance.
• How do I ensure reliable operation at high temperatures?
  Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range (up to 150°C). Use a heat sink or thermal interface material to improve heat dissipation. Also, consider derating the device's power handling at high temperatures.
• What is the recommended soldering profile for this device?
  A reflow soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C and a dwell time of 20-30 seconds is recommended. Avoid exceeding 280°C to prevent damage to the device.
• How do I protect the device from electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
  Handle the device with ESD-protective equipment and follow proper ESD-handling procedures. Use an ESD-protected workstation and ensure that all personnel handling the device are grounded.
• What is the recommended storage and handling procedure for this device?
  Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing the device to moisture, extreme temperatures, or physical stress. Handle the device by the body, not the leads, to prevent damage.
