LM317-N: Thermal pad.

Hi Kengo,

Thank you for the question. What in particular would you like to know about the thermal pad? Have you take a look through the data sheet?

Please let me know so I can help you further.

Thank you,

Josh Nachassi

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your reply.

I'd like to know the shape of the thermal pad.
Please tell me where to refer to in the datasheet.

Hi Josh,

You showed KCS, right?

I need about NDE.

They vary slightly in dimensions.
Does this mean that I can refer to KCS?

BR,
Kengo.

Hi Kengo,

You are correct that they vary, in terms of exact dimensions I wouldn't refer to KCS because you can see that they are different but in terms of design then you can refer to it. 

Thank you,

Josh Nachassi

Josh,

I need exact information.
Could you share the exact dimensions for NDE0003B?

BR,
Kengo.

Dear Kengo,

I will look in our system and see if we have this information for you.

Thank you,

Josh Nachassi

Hi Josh,

How about it?
I'll wait for your reply.

BR,
Kengo.

Hi Kengo,

I have not been able to find exact dimensions for what you are looking for. I am asking more people for additional information. It is an older part, so I am trying to see if there is available information regarding this 

Thank you,

Josh Nachassi

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your support.
Please continue to confirm as it is difficult to design without dimensions.

BR,
Kengo.

Dear Kengo,

We have requested these dimensions. We are waiting for a response to see if they have it. 

Thank you,

Josh Nachassi 

Hi Josh,

Do you have any updates?

Kengo.

Hello Kengo,

I have sent another note to the packaging engineer to get an answer on this. I'll hopefully have some feedback in the next day or two.
