Thermal considerations
Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Figure 23. JC100C Power Dissipation vs.
Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks
The power modules have through-threaded, M3 x 0.5
mounting holes, which enable heat sinks or cold plates
to attach to the module. The mounting torque must not
exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For a screw attachment
from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the
customer’s PWB around the mounting holes is
0.130 ± 0.005 inches. If a larger hole is used, the
mounting torque from the pin side must not exceed
0.25 N-m (2.2 in.-lbs.).
Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using
the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total
module thermal resistance (θca) is defined as the max-
imum case temperature rise (ΔT
module power dissipation (P
The location to measure case temperature (T
shown in Figure 20. Case-to-ambient thermal resis-
tance vs. airflow is shown, for various heat sink config-
urations and heights, in Figure 24. These curves were
obtained by experimental testing of heat sinks, which
are offered in the product catalog.

Figure 24. Case-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
These measured resistances are from heat transfer
from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the
top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the
case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are gener-
ally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself.
The module used to collect the data in Figure 24 had a
thermal-conductive dry pad between the case and the
heat sink to minimize contact resistance. The use of
Figure 24 is shown in the following example
Example
If an 85 °C case temperature is desired, what is the
minimum airflow necessary? Assume the JC100C
module is operating at nominal line and an output cur-
rent of 6 A, maximum ambient air temperature of
40 °C, and the heat sink is 0.5 in.
