RPS 250
Vishay Sfernice
Power Resistor for Mounting onto a Heatsink Thick Film Technology
FEATURES
· High power rating · High overload capability · Easy mounting · Low thermal radiation of the case
Developed for specific applications such as railroad electrical traction, this series can bear short overloads as high as fifteen times the nominal power. Designed to be mounted onto a heatsink, compact and hermetically sealed, these power resistors exhibit remarkable characteristics.

CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose the heatsink according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature). Maximum working temperature must not exceed 125°C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio: (1) T P= [RTH (j-c) + RTH (c-a)] P: expressed in W T: difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature. RTH: (j-c): thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal resistance of the component (see specifications environmental paragraph). RTH: (c-a): thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the thermal resistance of the heatsink, depending on the heatsink itself (type, shape) and the quality of the fastening device. Example: RTH: (c-a) for RPS 250 power dissipation 180W at + 50°C room temperature. T 125°C - 50°C 75°C 75 RTH (j-c) + RTH (c-a) = T = = 0.42°C/W P 180 RTH (j-c) = 0.22°C/W RTH (c-a) 0.42°C/W - 0.22°C/W 0.20°C/W
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOUNTING ONTO A HEATSINK
Surfaces in contact must be carefully cleaned. The heatsink must have an acceptable flatness: from 0.05mm to 0.1mm/100mm. Roughness of the heatsink must be around 6.3µm. In order to improve thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact should be coated with a silicone grease (type SI 340 from Rhône-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning). The fastening of the resistor to the heatsink is under pressure control of two screws (tightening torque 3 Nm). In order to improve the dissipation, either forced-air cooling or liquid cooling may be used. Do not forget to respect an insulation value between two resistors (dielectric strength in dry air 1kV/mm). In any case the hot spot temperature, measured locally on the case must not exceed 125°C. Test should be performed by the user.
