Example • TO-220 case style dissipating 5 watts • RJC = 3.0 C / Watt (from device spec) • TJmax = 150 C • TAmax = 50 C • Find the proper heat sink to keep the junction temperature from exceeding 150C in natural convection. ECE 442
Need to determine a value for RCS – depends on the mounting technique. If the device is mounted without an insulator, but only with Thermalcote, (silicone grease), check page 57, Figure 9 for TO -220 case style. ECE 442
Use Thermalcote RCS = 1 C/W No Insulator ECE 442
Thermalloy P/N 6030 Temperature rise above ambient@ 5 Watts Power Dissipation = 66 C ECE 442
Thermal Resistance RSA As long as RSA is less than 16 C/W, the requirement is met. ECE 442
