Derating:
The operating case temperature range of the PSQ75 series is -40°C to +100°C. When operating the PSQ75 series,
proper derating or cooling is needed.
The following curve is the derating curve of a PSQ75 without heat sink.
Where:
The power dissipation (Pd):
Pd = Pi - Po = Po (1-n) /n
The thermal resistance are listed below:
Chart of Thermal Resistance vs Air Flow:
The temperature rise (
T ):
T = Pd * Rca
