Hello, in the CAB016M12FM3 there is a circular opening/orifice in the bottom side of the package (same side as the pins). I tried to understand the purpose of that in the datasheets and application notes and found no reference about it.

Does that orifice serves any purpose? Should we leave a corresponding orifice in the PCB in which it's assembled?
