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 heatsink must be around 6.3 μm. In order to improve thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact (alumina,
heatsink) should be coated with a silicone grease (type SI 340 from Rhône-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning).
• The fastening of the resistor to the heatsink is under pressure control of four screws (not supplied).
Tightening Torque on Heatsink
RPS 250
3 Nm
• In order to improve the dissipation, either forced-air cooling or liquid cooling may be used.
• Do not forget to respect an insulation value between two resistors (dielectric strength in dry air 1 kV/mm).
• In any case the hot spot temperature, measured locally on the case must not exceed 125 °C.
• Test should be performed by the user.
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:

Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature
Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
resistance of the component: (see Environmental Specifications).

: 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.
