Thermal Considerations (continued)
Forced Convection Cooling
To determine the necessary airflow, determine the
power dissipated by the unit for the particular applica-
tion. Figures 19 and 20 show typical power
dissipation for these power modules over a range of
output currents. With the known power dissipation and
a given local ambient temperature, the appropriate air-
flow can be chosen from the derating curves in
Figure 21. For example, if the JBW030A dissipates 6.2
W, the minimum airflow in a 80 °C environment is
1 ms^–1 (200 ft./min.).

No Heat Sink; Either Orientation
Heat Sink Selection
Several heat sinks are available for these modules.
The case includes through-threaded mounting holes
allowing attachment of heat sinks or cold plates from
either side of the module. The mounting torque must
not exceed 0.56 N-m (5 in./lb.).
Figure 22 shows the case-to-ambient thermal resis-
tance, θ (°C/W), for these modules. These curves can
be used to predict which heat sink will be needed for a
particular environment. For example, if the JBW030A
dissipates 7 W of heat in an 80 °C environment with an
airflow of 0.7 ms^–1 (130 ft./min.), the minimum heat
sink required can be determined as follows:
θ ≤ (TC, max – TA) ⁄ PD
where:
θ = module’s total thermal resistance
TC,max = case temperature (See Figure 18.)
TA = inlet ambient temperature
(See Figure 18.)
PD = power dissipation
θ ≤ (100 – 80)/7
θ ≤ 2.9 °C/W
From Figure 22, the 1/2 in. high heat sink or greater is
required.
