Notes:
1. Two options exist for solder type. The standard is SnAg (96SC) which is Pb-free and the second (HT) is high temperature HMP alloy which is
Pb-bearing. Both are RoHS compliant, but the second relies on the RoHS exemption for high temperature solders and is targeted at specialist
high temperature applications.

Application Notes
A heatsink with thermal resistance ≤0.53°C/W will enable the component to operate at its continuous power rating. Sufficient thermal grease (e.g. Dow
Corning DC340) to give void-free coverage, or a 0.5mm thick compliant thermal pad (e.g. T Global TG-X) should be used and the heatsink should have a
surface finish of <6.3μm with flatness of <0.05mm. The resistor should be mounted using an appropriate bolt as listed in the table below. This should be
tightened so as to bring the whole area of the steel substrate into intimate contact with the heatsink. The unmounted part is slightly bowed so that the
centre is above the edges. Inadequate tightening will leave the centre out of contact with the heatsink, whilst over tightening can cause the edges to rise.
The tightening torque required will depend on the fixings and heatsink used, but typical figures are given for guidance. WDBR resistors will fail safe (open
circuit) under overload fault conditions and still maintain a 1kV dielectric withstand.
