COMPLIANT
This series of thick film power resistors include modules which can incorporate up to 2 different resistor values in the same
SOT 227B package. Two types of terminations are available along with a 4 terminal device for measurement applications in the
case of the single resistor version. This product range benefits from Vishay Sfernice’s experience in thick film power resistor
technology i.e high power: volume ratio, low tolerance or individual resistors and excellent overload capabilities (due to the
trimming technique).

OVERLOADS
The applied power is 2.5 x rated power for 5 s with a max
voltage of 2 x nominal voltage.
Accidental overload:
The values indicated in the graph
below are applicable to resistors in air or mounted onto a
heatsink.
In case of multi-resistor devices, (DRTOP, TROP and
QROP) the results apply to each resistor value in the device.
CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose the heatsink according to the working
conditions of the component (power, room temperature).
Maximum working temperature must not exceed 125 °C.
The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following
ratio:
ΔT
-
P

[
RTH
(

+
RTH

P:

ΔT:
difference between maximum working temperature
and room temperature.
R
TH
: (j-c): thermal resistance value measured between
resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the
thermal resistance of the component (see Table
Special Features).
R
TH
: (c-a): thermal resistance value measured between
outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is
the thermal resistance of the heatsink depending on
the heatsink itself (type, shape) and the quality of the
fastening device.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOUNTING
ONTO A HEATSINK
Surfaces in contact must be carefully cleaned.
The heatsink must have an acceptable flatness:
from 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm/100 mm.
Roughness of the heater must be around 6.3 µm.
In order to improve thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact
(alumina, heatsink) are laid on with a silicone grease (type SI
340 from Rhône-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning).
Tightening torque on heater: 2 Nm
For the electrical connections, it is recommended to use
M4 x 6 screws and if necessary a washer of 1mm thickness.
The recommended screw tightening torque is 1 Nm.

POWER RATING CHART
The temperature of the heater should be maintained in the limit specified. To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in
contact should be laid on with a silicon grease and the torque applied on the screw for tightening should be around 2 Nm.
