2N7002 Temperature-Current Derating Curve, TO-18 Can
Use the Temperature-Current graph above to determine how to derate the 2N7002 FET over increasing ambient temperature. The most conservative designer will use the lowest gray curve in the graph, which develops the lowest stress on the junction of the 2N7002. Most designs would use the second gray curve, avoiding the black curve above. The upper most black curve is maximum junction temperature and should be avoided at all times.
An option to the thermal curves are the linear equations listed below.
The leads of the TO-18 should be kept short to increase heat conduction through the leads of the TO-18 into the board, while allowing space between the body of the TO-18 and the surface of the board. Of course forced air could be applied to the system to draw heat away from the component by convection [the graph depicts still air]. A heat sink may also be added to increase heat conduction, with or with out thermal grease.
