In March 2011, STMicro introduced a new flat package that allows further miniaturisation of control modules that must meet strict safety specifications such as IEC 60370 and IEC 60335.
Features and USP: The advanced flat package for SMBs is now available for key power devices—AC switches, SCRs and triacs. The innovation will allow ST customers to deliver differentiating product features and satisfy safety specifications. The SMB flat package is also 40 per cent slimmer than the SOT-223, which gives designers more freedom to miniaturise enclosures. Additionally, the ‘creepage’ distances of ST’s X02 series SCRs and Z01 series Triacs, which use this new package, will help meet the insulation and the major safety standards for domestic and industrial electrical equipment (IEC 60370 and IEC 60335). Its package dimension is 3.95 x 4.6 x 1.1 mm. It is RoHS compliant and halogen free.
