To order without heat sink add suffix X to model number. Alternative heat sink-
ing and heat removal must be provided by the user to limit maximum base-plate
temperature to 85°C, in order to ensure proper performance. For reference, this
requires thermal resistance of user’s external heat sink to be 4°C/W Max.
Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
