LTO series are the extension of RTO types. We used the direct
ceramic mounting design (no metal tab) of our RCH power
resistors applied to semiconductor packages.

and Thermal Resistance R
of the component free air:
The user must choose according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature).
Maximum working temperature must not exceed 155 °C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio:
P =
[R
ΔT
TH (j-c) + RTH (c-a)]
P: expressed in W
ΔT: difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature.
TH: (j-c): thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
R
resistance of the component.
TH: (c-a): thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the
R
thermal resistance of the heatsink itself (type, shape), the quality of the fastening device, and the thermal resistance of the
thermal compound.
Example:
TH: (c-a) for LTO50 power rating 10 W at ambient temperature + 30 °C.
R
Thermal resistance R
TH (j-c): 2.5 °C/W
Considering equation (1) we have:
R
with a thermal grease R
ΔT = 155 °C - 30 °C = 125 °C
TH (j-c) + RTH (c-a) = = = 12.5 °C/W
R
TH (c-a) = 12.5 °C/W - 2.5 °C/W = 10 °C/W
TH (c - h) = 1 °C/W, we need a heat sink with RTH (h - a) = 9 °C/W.

POWER RATING CHART
The temperature of the heatsink should be maintained within the limits specifi ed.
To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact should be coated with a silicone grease and the torque applied on the
screw for tightening should be around 1 Nm.
