CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose the board 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 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.

OVERLOADS
In any case the applied voltage must be lower than the
maximum overload voltage of 750 V.
The values indicated on the graph below are applicable to
resistors in air or mounted onto a heatsink.
Vishay Sfernice
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).
