Thermal Management
Device high current characterization was performed using Kunze heat sink KU 1-159, phase change thermal
interface material KU-ALC 5, and transistor clip KU 4-499/1. This combination provided an approximate
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 12.5°C/W.
Heat Sink Calculation
Higher load currents are possible by using lower thermal resistance heat sink combinations.
