Manufactured in cermet thick film technology, these power resistors exhibit remarkable characteristics and the series includes
4 types ranging from 5 W to 50 W. Designed to be mounted onto a heatsink, the resistors can bear high short time overloads
and 3 types of terminations are available. The resistors are non inductive and are particularly suitable for high frequency
operation and cut-out circuits.

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) are coated with a silicone grease (type Sl 340 from Rhône-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning).
• The fastening of the resistor to the heatsink is under pressure control of two screws (not supplied).

• In order to improve the dissipation, either forced-air cooling or liquid cooling may be used.
• A low thermal radiation of the case allows several resistors to be mounted onto the same heatsink.
• 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.
• Tests should be performed by the user.
CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose 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:

R

: Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
resistance of the component.
R

: 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.
R

: Thermal resistance of the heatsink.

OVERLOADS
The applied voltage must always be lower than the
maximum overload voltage as shown in the special features
table.
The values indicated on the graph below are applicable to
resistors in air or mounted onto a heatsink.

POWER RATING
For resistors mounted onto heatsink and thermal resistance
of 1 °C/W.
To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact
should be coated with a silicone grease.
