Thermal Resistance
  • SOT-323-3:

    \( T_{jc} = 60°C/W \)
  • SOT-323-8
    \( T_{ja} = 70-90°C/W \)
Land AreaSOT-323-3:
\( 4.20mm^2 (2.10*2.00mm) \) for the package alone
\( 6.23mm^2 (2.65*2.35mm) \) when included with the recommended reflow PCB footprint
Height0.95mm
3D Modelsn/a
Common Uses
  • Diodes (SOT-323-3)
  • Voltage regulators (SOT-323-8)
  • MOSFETs (SOT-323-3)

This package is a little confusing because it shares two common names, the SOT-323-x and the SC-70-x. And it also can have a different pitch (the SOT-323-8, aka SC-70-8 or SC8 has a 0.5mm pitch). It has a lead-pitch double that of the SOT-363.

If the pin number isn’t specified, it is likely to be the 3 pin variant (this is the most common). The SOT-323 package has a significantly smaller PCB footprint than the SOT-23.
