Adequate heatsinking is required to maintain the base temperature

at 75

may be calculated by use of V

with standard formulae. We can provide assistance with

calculations or choice of heatsink if required.

The heatsink surface must be smooth and flat; a surface finish of

N6 (32

µin) and a flatness within 0.05mm (0.002") are

recommended.

Immediately prior to mounting, the heatsink surface should be

lightly scrubbed with fine emery, Scotch Brite or a mild chemical

etchant and then cleaned with a solvent to remove oxide build up

and foreign material. Care should be taken to ensure no foreign

particles remain.

An even coating of thermal compound (eg. Unial) should be

applied to both the heatsink and module mounting surfaces. This

should ideally be 0.05mm (0.002") per surface to ensure optimum

thermal performance.

After application of thermal compound, place the module squarely

over the mounting holes, (or 'T' slots) in the heatsink. Using a

torque wrench, slowly tighten the recommended fixing bolts at

each end, rotating each in turn no more than 1/4 of a revolution at

a time. Continue until the required torque of 5Nm (44lb.ins) is

reached at both ends.

It is not acceptable to fully tighten one fixing bolt before starting to

tighten the others. Such action may DAMAGE the module.

Part number is made up as follows:

MP03 HBT 175 - 12

MP

= Pressure contact module

03

= Outline type

HBT = Circuit configuration code (see "circuit options" - front page)

175

= Nominal average current rating at T

12

= V

Examples:

MP03 HBP175-12

MP03 HBN175-16

MP03 HBT175-10

NOTE: Diode ratings and characteristics are comparable with the SCR in types HBP or HBN.

Types HBP and HBN can also be supplied with diode polarity reversed, to special order.
