The user must choose the board according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature). Maximum
working temperature must not exceed 150 °C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio:
P:Expressed in W
ΔT:Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature
R
:Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
TH (j - c)
resistance of the component: 5 °C/W.
R
TH (c - a )
:Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the thermal
resistance of the solder layer (according the quality of the soldering) and the thermal resistance of the board.

Considering equation (1) we have:
ΔT = 150 °C - 25 °C = 125 °C

ACCIDENTAL OVERLOAD
In any case the applied voltage must be lower than the maximum overload voltage of Us = 375 V. The values indicated on the
