LM317: Junction to ambient thermal resistance of LM317 - To 252 package and part number is LM317MKVURG3

Part Number: LM317

We are planning to use the LM317 and complete part number is LM317MKVURG3.

 I am going through the datasheet but not able to see thermal information like below for the TO-252 package. Would you please share this information? Specially, I need Junction to ambient thermal resistance for TO-252 package. Please share this info asap.

 Thanks.

Best regards,

  • Hi Arvind,

    Here is the data per your request.

    Theta JA-High K (standard datasheet value)    54.0 C/W
    Theta JC, top (standard datasheet value)    51.3 C/W
    Theta JB (standard datasheet value)    28.6 C/W
    Theta JC, bottom (standard datasheet value)    0.9 C/W

    Thanks,

  • Hello Stephen,

    Thanks for the update.

    Would you please share me the datasheet of LM317MKVURG3 where all the information is mentioned?

    Would like to reconfirm that the below information for the part number is LM317MKVURG3

    Theta JA-High K (standard datasheet value)    54.0 C/W
    Theta JC, top (standard datasheet value)    51.3 C/W
    Theta JB (standard datasheet value)    28.6 C/W
    Theta JC, bottom (standard datasheet value)    0.9 C/W

    Thanks.

  • Hi Arvind,

    I pulled this data internally, it did not come from a datasheet.

    We have this documented in our datasheet correction log, however we have not yet updated the datasheet with the numbers I provided you.

    Thanks,
