Derating is the method of decreasing a devices operational limits as temperature is increased, in this case derating a devices operational power dissipation vs increasing ambient temperature. Ambient temperature. is the air temperature measured below a semiconductor device, in an environment of substantially uniform temperature [Still-Air], cooled

only by natural air convection [Free-Air], and not materially affected by reflective and radiant surfaces. Near-by devices that may induce heat onto this device is not accounted for in any derating curve. Case mount. A type of package which provides a method of readily attaching one surface of the semiconductor device to a heat sink [heat dissipater] to achieve thermal management of the case temperature. Attaching a device to a heat sink greatly reduces the requirement to derate the device over temperature. The 2N5003 is a case mount package which could be bolted to a metal panel, a Conductive Adhesive Compound will greatly effect heat conduction. Design note; because the stud or case is isolated from the terminals there is no need for an Electrically Conductive Adhesive Compound. Case temperature. is that temperature measured at a specified point on the case of a semiconductor device. Some Temperature-Power derating curves show maximum power by ambient temperature [Ta] while some show maximum power by case temperature [Tc], the two curves are entirely different. Note that the curve above shows the maximum 2N5003 case temperature. Thermal resistance. Thermal resistance is the temperature rise, per unit power dissipation, of a junction above the temperature of a stated external reference point under conditions of thermal equilibrium. Check the derating curves for Thermal resistance.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
