Thermal Considerations
Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks
Example
If an 85 °C case temperature is desired, what is the
minimum airflow necessary? Assume the FW250A1
module is operating at V
of 50 A, maximum ambient air temperature of 40 °C,
and the heat sink is 1 inch.
Solution
Given: V
Determine P
Then solve the following equation:
Use Figures 27 and 28 to determine air velocity for the
1 inch heat sink. The minimum airflow necessary for
the FW250A1 module depends on heat sink fin orienta-
tion and is shown below:
Custom Heat Sinks
A more detailed model can be used to determine the
required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide
necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be
separated into a resistance from case-to-sink ( cs) and
sink-to-ambient ( sa) as shown in Figure 31.

Figure 31. Resistance from Case-to-Sink and Sink-
For a managed interface using thermal grease or foils,
a value of cs = 0.1 °C/W to 0.3 °C/W is typical. The
solution for heat sink resistance is:
This equation assumes that all dissipated power must
be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the user-
defined application environment, a more accurate
model, including heat transfer from the sides and bot-
tom of the module, can be used. This equation provides
a conservative estimate for such instances.
EMC Considerations
For assistance with designing for EMC compliance,
please refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet
(DS99-294EPS).
Layout Considerations
Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power
module mounting inserts. For additional layout guide-
lines, refer to the FLTR100V10 data sheet
(DS99-294EPS).
