    Hello

    The distance between the drain and source pins has a worst case value of 2.55mm based on the package design. The easiest way to increase this distance or remove it entirely would be to add isolating "sleeves" or shrink tubing on the drain-source leads. This is common practice in power electronics assembly

    Thanks
