Thermal Considerations
Introduction
Although the maximum case temperature of the power
modules is 100 °C, you can limit this temperature to a
lower value for extremely high reliability.
For additional information on these modules, refer to the
Thermal Management JC-, JFC-, JW-, and JFW-Series
50 W to 150 W Board-Mounted Power Modules Technical
Note (TN97-008EPS).
Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 21 shows the maximum
power that can be dissipated by the module without
exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local
ambient temperature (T
through 4 m/s (800 ft./min.).
Note that the natural convection condition was mea-
sured at 0.05 m/s to 0.1 m/s (10 ft./min. to 20 ft./min.);
however, systems in which these power modules may
be used typically generate natural convection airflow
rates of 0.3 m/s (60 ft./min.) due to other heat dissipat-
ing components in the system. The use of Figure 21 is
shown in the following example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for a JC100C
operating at nominal line, an output current of 6 A, and
a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C?
