Table Usage: The forced convection thermal impedance data shown in the tables on the next three pages assumes airflow through the heat
sink fins. Actual airflow through the fins should be verified. For purposes of heat sink calculation, assume efficiencies listed on Mini data
sheets. Use as a design guide only. Verify final design by actual temperature measurement.
