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).
