O.K. Steve,

I hereby claim my 'Albert-of-the-Year' award for services to
retrieval of useless information.

I believe D-PAK stands for Deca-Watt Package - unless anyone
suggests better.

Here's a website that seems so decribe every packaging acronym
under the Sun.

Happy huntin'

that looks like a TO-220 that's had it's legs chopped-off and formed into a
gull-wing shape:
