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:

: Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer
and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal resistance of the
component.
R
TH (c - h)
: Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of
the resistor and upper side of the heatsink. This is the thermal
resistance of the interface (grease, thermal pad), and the quality of
the fastening device.

OVERLOADS
In any case the applied voltage must be lower than the
maximum overload voltage of 750 V.
The values indicated on the graph below are applicable to
resistors in air or mounted onto a heatsink.

POWER RATING
The temperature of the case should be maintained within the
limits specified.
To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact
should be coated with a silicone grease and the torque
applied on the screw for tightening should be around 1 Nm.
