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).

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)
Tightening Torque on Heatsink
RTOP
2 Nm
Vishay Sfernice
• 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
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:

: 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
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.
Vishay Sfernice
POWER RATING
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.
