TO-220 is a common package for higher current flow components, they have between 2 and 7 legs.
When placing on a PCB, it's common to design it with an offset for some legs, this allows more room for soldering and laying out of traces (which are often thicker due to the "high" current).
You can get many of these components direct from China, at a significantly reduced rate, unfortunately it's extremely common for them to have straight legs.
There are proper die cast tools out there wh
