RPS 250
Vishay Sfernice
Power Resistor for Mounting onto a Heatsink
Thick Film Technology
FEATURES
High power rating: 250 W
High overload capability up to 4 times nominal
power (see energy curve)
Easy mounting
Low thermal radiation of the case
Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC
Developed for specific applications such as railroad electrical traction, this series can bear short overloads as high as fifteen times
the nominal power. Designed to be mounted onto a heatsink, these power resistors exhibit remarkable characteristics.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOUNTING ONTO A HEATSINK
Surfaces in contact must be carefully cleaned.
The heatsink must have an acceptable flatness: From 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm/100 mm.
Roughness of the heatsink must be around 6.3 µm. In order to improve thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact (alumina,
heatsink) should be coated with a silicone grease (type SI 340 from Rhône-Poulenc or Dow 340 from Dow Corning).
The fastening of the resistor to the heatsink is under pressure control of four screws (not supplied).
Tightening Torque on Heatsink
RPS 250
3 Nm
In order to improve the dissipation, either forced-air cooling or liquid cooling may be used.
Do not forget to respect an insulation value between two resistors (dielectric strength in dry air 1 kV/mm).
In any case the hot spot temperature, measured locally on the case must not exceed 125 °C.
Test should be performed by the user.
CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose the heatsink according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature).
Maximum working temperature must not exceed 125 °C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio:

Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature
Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
resistance of the component: (see Environmental Specifications ).
Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the thermal
resistance of the heatsink, depending on the heatsink itself (type, shape) and the quality of the fastening device.
