Note: Not applicable for conduction cooled (–CC) models.

Below are the chassis-to-air thermal impedance values, as a function of airflow,

for ComPAC package configurations that incorporate one, two, and three internal

component DC-DC converters.

To calculate case temperature: total power dissipated times

thermal impedance plus ambient temperature.

To calculate Watts dissipated per output: output power

divided by efficiency minus output power.

Thermal Impedance

Trim resistors not required for operation at rated output voltage.

+Sense and –Sense must be connected locally or remotely (shown).
