TL Series
Modular Heat Sinkable
Thick Film Power
The TL Series add heat sinkable options to the
thick film resistor family. The resistor element
is packaged with plastic insulators, and quick-
connect terminals in a symmetrical aluminum
profile for easy heat sink mounting. Special
tapped configurations are offered to reduce on
board component count.
Efficient thermal packaging provides improved
heat conduction to the heat sink. Self-insulating
package design increases voltage withstanding
characteristics when compared to traditional
aluminum housings. The in line mounting profile
makes the TL Series easily adaptable to most
heat sink systems. Thermal compound is always
recommended when heat sinking.

THIS PRODUCT IS
DESIGNED FOR USE WITH
PROPER HEATSINKING.
Maximum base plate temperature of the
resistor must be monitored and kept
within specified limits to establish the
power rating. Best technique is to attach
a thermocouple to the side of the base
plate of the resistor. Temperature of plastic
housing or heat sink cannot be used to
establish rating of the resistor.
