Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to minimize thermal resistance and ensure optimal performance.
The thermal pad should be soldered to a solid copper area on the PCB to ensure good thermal conductivity. A thermal interface material (TIM) can be used to improve thermal performance.
The PTV112-4420A-C104 is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C, but derating may be necessary for high-power applications or high-temperature environments.
The PTV112-4420A-C104 is a commercial-grade device, but Bourns offers a range of high-reliability and aerospace-grade devices that meet specific industry standards (e.g., MIL-PRF-19500). Contact Bourns for more information.
Follow proper PCB layout and shielding practices, and consider using additional EMC components (e.g., chokes, filters) to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
