Module Derating
Thermal Considerations (continued)
The derating curves in Figures 43 through 45 were
determined by measurements obtained in an experi-
mental apparatus shown in Figure 61. Note that the
module and the printed-wiring board (PWB) that it is
mounted on are both vertically oriented. The passage
has a rectangular cross section.
