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 155 °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: (Special Features table)
Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the thermal
resistance of the heatsink itself (type, shape) and the quality of the fastening device.

OVERLOADS
In any case the applied voltage must be lower than the
maximum overload voltage of 375 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 heatsink 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.
Spring clip can also be used to mount the component on an
heatsink (ex: Kunze, clip KU4-498).
