Power Rating Notes -
The PF2270 Series Foil Resistors must be attached to a suitable
heatsink. The maximum internal resistor temperature is 155°C.
To specify an appropriate heatsink use the following formula :
R
θH
= T
MAX
- ( P x R
θR
) - T
A
P
Where:
R
θ
H
= Thermal Resistance of Heatsink ( K/W )
R

R
= Thermal Resistance of Resistor ( K/W )
T
MAX
= Maximum Temperature of Resistor
T
A
= Ambient Temperature of Heatsink ( °C )
P = Power Through Resistor ( W )
