Thermal Considerations
Thermal Considerations (continued)
Introduction
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit are ther-
mally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by conduc-
tion, convection, and radiation to the surrounding
environment. Proper cooling can be verified by mea-
suring the case temperature. Peak temperature (TC)
occurs at the position indicated in Figure 17.

The temperature at this location should not exceed
100 °C. The output power of the module should not
exceed the rated power for the module as listed in the
Ordering Information table.
Although the maximum case temperature of the power
modules is 100 °C, you can limit this temperature to a
lower value for extremely high reliability.
Note that although the maximum case temperature
allowed is lower than 100 °C under some conditions,
this modules derating is equivalent to or better than the
JW050F. At full load, the JW050F power module has a
higher case temperature rise than the JBW050F.

the Thermal Management JC-, JFC-, JW-, and JFW-
Series 50 W to 150 W Board-Mounted Power Modules
Technical Note (TN97-008EPS).
Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 19 shows the maximum
power that can be dissipated by the module without
exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local
ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection
through 3 m/s (600 ft./min.).
Note that the natural convection condition was mea-
sured at 0.05 m/s to 0.1 m/s (10 ft./min. to 20 ft./min.);
however, systems in which these power modules may
be used can typically
generate natural convection airflow rates of 0.3 m/s
(60 ft./min.) due to other heat dissipating components
in the system. The use of Figure 19 is shown in the
following example.
Example
What is the minimum airflow necessary for a JBW050F
operating at VI = 54 V, an output current of 10 A, and a
maximum ambient temperature of 70 °C?
Solution
Given: VI = 54 V
IO = 10 A
TA = 70 °C
Determine PD (Use Figure 18):
PD = 7.7 W
Determine airflow (v) (Use Figure 19):
v = 0.5 m/s (100 ft./min.)
