Maximum working temperature must not exceed 155 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 T: Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature R : Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal TH (j - c) resistance of the component: Special Features table. R : Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and upper side of the heatsink. This is the TH (c - h) thermal resistance of the interface (grease, thermal pad), and the quality of the fastening device. R : Thermal resistance of the heatsink. th (h - a) Example: R for RTO 20 power rating 10 W at ambient temperature +25 C TH (c - a) Thermal resistance R : 6.5 C/W TH (j - c) (1) Considering equation we have: T = 155 C - 25 C = 130 C T 130 R + R + R = ------- = -------- = 13 C/W TH (j - c) TH (c - h) TH (h - a) P 10 R + R = 13 C/W - 6.5 C/W = 6.5 C/W TH (c - h) TH (h - a) Revision: 16-Nov-17 Document Number: 50005 2 For technical questions, contact: sferfixedresistors vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
