Thermal characterist ics: how to choose the

heat-sink

Sometimes the GS-R1005 requires an external

heat-sink dependingon both operatingtemperature

conditions and power.

Before entering into calculations details, some ba-

sic concepts will be explained to better understand

the problem.

The thermal resistance between two points is rep-

resented by their temperature difference in front of

a specified dissipated power, and it is expressed in

Degree Centigrade per Watt (°C/W).

For GS-R1005 the thermal resistance case to am-

bient is 7.5°C/W. This means that an internal power

dissipation of 1W will bring the case temperature at

7.5°C above the ambient temperature.

The maximum case temperature, at which the mod-

ule provides 10A, is 75°C (see fig. 6).

Let’s suppose to have a GS-R1005 that delivers a

load current of 10A at an ambient temperature of

40°C.

The dissipated power in this operating condition is

about 10.2W (at typical efficiency of 83%), and the

case temperature of the module will be:

TCase = TAmb + Pd × Rth = 40 + 10.2 × 7.5 = 116.8 °C

This value exceeds the maximum allowed tempera-

ture and an external heat-sink must be added. To

this purpose four holes (see mechanical drawing)

are provided on the metal surface of the module.

To calculate this heat-sink, let’s first determine what

the total thermal resistance should be.

Rth = TCaseMAX − Tamb = 75 − 40 = 3.42°C / W

Pd

10.2

This value is the resulting value of the additional

heatsink thermal resistance.
