Plastic θjc Considerations
The data listed for plastic θjc are for reference only and are not recommended for use in calculating junction temperatures. The
heat-flow paths in plastic-encapsulated devices are complex, making the θjc measurement relative to a specific location on the
packagesurface. Testsindicatethismeasurementreferencepointisdirectlybelowthedie-attachareaonthebottomcenterofthe
package. Furthermore, θjc tests on packages are performed in a constant-temperature bath, keeping the package surface at a
constant temperature. Therefore, the measurements can only be used in a similar environment.
