CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature).
Maximum working temperature must not exceed 150 C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio:
()1
T
P = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R ++R R
TH (j - c) TH (c - h) TH (h - a)
P: Expressed in W R : Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of
TH (c - h)
T: Difference between maximum working temperature and room the resistor and upper side of the heatsink. This is the thermal
temperature resistance of the interface (grease, thermal pad), and the quality of
R : Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer the fastening device.
TH (j - c)
and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal resistance of the R : Thermal resistance of the heatsink.

component.
Example:
R for LTO 50 power rating 10 W at ambient temperature +25 C
TH (c - a)
Thermal resistance R : 2.5 C/W
TH (j - c)
(1)
Considering equation we have:
T = 150 C - 25 C = 125 C
T 125
R + R + R = ------ = -------- = 12.5 C/W
TH (j - c) TH (c - h) TH (h - a)
P 10
R + R = 12.5 C/W - 2.5 C/W = 10 C/W
TH (c - h) TH (h - a)
with a thermal grease R = 1 C/W, we need a heatsink with R = 9 C/W.
TH (c - h) TH (h - a)
