pincount

[mohamed_badran]

could you help me to get pincount for part number   ''   STPSC6H065DLF  ''  

Pin Count for this PN "" as supplier site mentioned it as "4" while it's found in datasheet as "5"?

I assume you are referring to MLPD 8X8 4L with the statement about 4 pins, which can be found on the product website and the tab Sample & Buy?

Well, you have to be careful in which context you talk about pins and connections, which can unfortunately lead to confusion. In this case, the package indeed has 4 pins, which are led to the package edge with bond wires. However, it has 5 electrical connections because the cooling slug is also used to connect the cathode.

Hope that answers your question?

thanks for your reply

But i need ask , Is it  applicable to connect exposed pad or cooling slug  to Main pin as cathode ?

According to the datasheet, the exposed pad is the only connection to the cathode:

So, if you don't connect to that, you won't have any connection to the cathode at all !
