Power Rating Notes

The FPV Series Resistors must be attached to a suitable heat

sink. The maximum internal resistor temperature is 155 °C.

To specify an appropriate heat sink use the following formula:

RθH = TMAX - (P x RθR) - TA

P

Where: RθH = Thermal Resistance of Heat Sink (K/W)

RθR = Thermal Resistance of Resistor (K/W)

TMAX = Maximum Temperature of Resistor

TA = Ambient Temperature of Heat Sink (°C)

P = Power Through Resistor (W)

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Users should verify actual device performance in their specific applications.
