Power Rating Notes -
The PF1260 Series Film Resistors must be attached to a suit-
able heatsink. The maximum internal resistor temperature is
155°C (120°C for the PF1261).
To specify an appropriate heatsink use the following formula :

Mounting Notes -
The PF1260 Series Film Resistors must be attached to a suit-
able heatsink. Mount resistor using thermal grease to a clean /
flat surface. Use a compression washer to provide 150 to 300
pounds ( 665 to 1330N ) of mounting force. Torque mounting
screw to 8 in-lbs ( 0.9 Nm ).
Back plate is isolated from both pins.
