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 be attached to the module. The mounting torque
must not exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in.-lb.). For the 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.-lb.).
Figures
32 and
33 shows the power derating for a mod-
ule in natural convection with the heat sinks shown in
Figures
42 and
43. Natural convection is the heat
transfer produced when air in contact with a hot surface
is heated, causing it to rise. An open environment is
required with no external forces moving the air.
Figures
32 and
33 apply when the module is the only
source of heat present in the system, generating air-
ow of approximately 10 ft./min. to 20 ft./min. Some
systems with other heat dissipating components can
generate airows greater than 20 ft./min.
