Thermal Considerations
Introduction
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are ther-
mally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduc-
tion, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment. Proper cooling can be verified by mea-
suring the case temperature. Peak temperature (T
occurs at the position indicated in Figure 29.
Note: Top view, pin locations are for reference only.
Figure 29. Case Temperature Measurement
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.
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

Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 30 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 30 is
shown in the following example.
