LM117K_STEEL/NOPB - confusion about the orientation of the pins w.r.t pin assignment on the TO-3 package.
please confirm the latest datasheet is dated OCTOBER2015
the new datasheet shows a bottom view of the TO-3 package on page 3 that is contradictory to the detailed NDS0002A package drawing on page 43. It almost looks like the views are rotated w.r.t. each other.
Is the pin assignment for the TO-3 package in the Table on page 3 correct (ADJ on pin1 and VIN on pin2)?
In the detailed drawing on page 43, is the view on the left a bottom view or a top view?
When mounting a TO-3 part to a pcb with a live case (VOUT), what precautions do we need to take for the pcb design. Do we clear out solder mask below entire device or just use plated through hole vias for the mounting holes?
