Vishay provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application note AN42172, which can be found on their website. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure proper thermal performance and minimize thermal resistance.
The datasheet recommends using a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K. It's essential to apply a thin, even layer of TIM to the base plate of the device, and ensure good contact between the device and the heat sink. Vishay recommends using their own TIM, part number MAL26910.
The maximum allowed junction temperature for the VSMG2700-GS08 is 175°C. It's essential to ensure that the device operates within this temperature range to prevent damage and ensure reliability.
The VSMG2700-GS08 is not hermetically sealed, so it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments. If you need to operate the device in a humid environment, consider using a conformal coating or potting the device to protect it from moisture.
Vishay recommends storing the VSMG2700-GS08 in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The devices should be handled with care to prevent mechanical damage, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the device.
