For products with base plate the maximum allowed 
ambient temperature can be calculated by using the 
thermal resistance.
1. The power loss is calculated by using the formula
((1/η) - 1) × output power = power losses (P
d
).
η = efciency of product. E.g. 95 % = 0.95
2. Find the thermal resistance (R
th
) in the Thermal 
Resistance graph found in the Output section for 
each model. Note that the thermal resistance can be 
signicantly reduced if a heat sink is mounted on the top 
of the base plate.
Calculate the temperature increase (ΔT).
 ΔT = R
th
 x P
d
3. Max allowed ambient temperature is: 
Max T
P1
 - ΔT.
E.g. NQB-468 at 2m/s:
1. ((1/0.95) - 1) × 468 W = 24.6 W
2. 19.5 W × 2.8°C/W = 69.0°C}
3. 125 °C - 69.0°C = max ambient temperature is 56°C
The actual temperature will be dependent on several 
factors such as the PWB size, number of layers and 
direction of airow.
Ambient Temperature Calculation
(Best air ow direction is from positive to negative pins.)
