RPH 100 www.vishay.com Vishay Sfernice Power Resistor for Mounting onto a Heatsink Thick Film Technology FEATURES High power rating Low thermal radiation of the case Wide ohmic value range Easy mounting High overload capabilities Reduced size and weight Material categorization: for definitions of compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc 99912 This new style has been developed as an extension to RCH range. Through the use of thick film technology, a non-inductive solution for power resistors is available which are rated up to 100 W at +25 C. The terminations position prevents any risk of an electrical arc to the heatsink. This resistor series can replace and offer advantages to standard wirewound devices.

The heatsink must have an acceptable flatness: From 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm/100 mm. Roughness of the heatsink must be around 6.3 m. In order to improve thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact (alumina, heatsink) should be coated with a silicone grease (type SI 340 from Rhne-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning). The fastening of the resistor to the heatsink is under pressure control of two screws (not supplied). RPH 100 Tightening Torque on Heatsink 3 Nm In order to improve the dissipation, either forced-air cooling or liquid cooling may be used. Do not forget to respect an insulation value between two resistors (dielectric strength in dry air 1 kV/mm). CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK The user must choose the heatsink according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature). Maximum working temperature must not exceed 125 C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio: T P = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R ++R R TH (j - c) TH (c - h) TH (h - a) P: Expressed in W T: Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature R : Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. TH (j - c) It is the thermal resistance of the component: 0.55 C/W. R : Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and upper side of the heatsink. TH (c - h) This is the thermal resistance of the interface (grease, thermal pad), and the quality of the fastening device. R : Thermal resistance of the heatsink.
