Figure 20 readily allows users to confirm that DATEL quarter-brick DC/DC 
converters are compatible to the industry-standard pinout, independent of

The typical derating curves on the previous pages were developed by moni
-
toring the temperature of the case with a thermocouple placed on top of 
the USQ case as shown in Figure 21. Users desiring to model their own 
application's temperature derating for a particular environment (enclosed

temperature does not exceed 110°C for any condition.
