Thermal Considerations
Introduction
The temperature at this location should not exceed
100 °C. The output power of the module should not
exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the
Ordering Information table.
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.
Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figures 21 and 22 show the
maximum power that can be dissipated by the module
without exceeding the maximum case temperature ver-
sus local ambient temperature (T
tion through 4 m/s (800 ft./min.). Note that the thermal
performance is orientation dependent. Longitudinal ori-
entation occurs when the long direction of the module
is parallel to the airflow, whereas transverse orientation
occurs when the short direction of the module is paral-
lel to the airflow.
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 22 is
shown in the following example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for a JAW075A
operating at V
verse orientation, and a maximum ambient tempera-
ture of 55 °C?
