WOKING, England, November 29,
2017 /PRNewswire/ --
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for
performance critical applications, has today announced the WMHP-HS
heatsink specifically designed to optimise the thermal performance
of its WMHP series power resistors. Providing a combination of high
surface area, superior cooling performance, compact dimensions and
light weight, the PCB mounting heatsink is ideal for use in power
supplies, power amplifiers, motor drives and inrush current control
applications requiring resistors operating in the 20 to 100W
range.

The WMHP-HS heatsink is aimed at designers using TO220 or TO247
power resistors in compact power electronic assemblies in the
industrial and medical markets. Factors driving the demand for this
type of product are the growth in distributed power management and
motion control in industrial and automated systems, and the
pressure to reduce size and weight whilst increasing cooling
effectiveness and product reliability.
Extruded from 6063-T5 aluminium, the WMHP-HS heatsink's compact
footprint of 42 x 25mm minimises use of valuable PCB area, and its
low thermal resistance keeps assemblies cool and improves
reliability. Reducing overall product weight and assembly time, the
heatsink uses two solderable tinned brass pins instead of fixings
to secure it. It has a black anodized finish, and features an
optimised profile with ridged fins for high surface area and low
mass.
Exhibiting versatility, a TO-220 package resistor may be fitted
to either side of the heatsink as the thermal performance is the
same for both mounting surfaces. Furthermore, two packages may be
fitted, one each side, provided the total power dissipated does not
exceed the rating of either. A TO-247 package can be fitted to the
wider of the two mounting surfaces.
TT Electronics' WMHP-HS heatsink offers a higher surface area,
superior cooling performance and lower mass than key competing
parts. It is the lightest, most effective PCB mounted heatsink
specifically designed for power resistors.
