Sensata | CrydomRelay Heatsink, +5°C/W Thermal Resistance, 54g Weight - HS501DR Keep your solid-state relays in optimal working condition with this heatsink from Sensata | Crydom. As relays generate heat during normal operation, they can cause thermal damage to your equipment. This component helps to keep temperatures cool, ensuring your SSR operates efficiently. Vertical fins on either side provide a wide surface area to cool hot air and allow it to flow away from the relay. You'll find heatsinks like this one used in I/O subsystems and medical equipment. Features & Benefits • Steel construction for resistance to impact and wear
• Yellow zinc plating for resistance to corrosion
• Light weight of 54g to place minimal strain on your equipment
• Designed for DIN rail mounting for ease of installation What do I need to consider when mounting this heatsink? Heatsinks work best when combined with forced airflow over their surface area, so it's worth installing a small fan in conjunction with this product to improve performance. You should also make sure you fit the heatsink with at least one inch of clear space below it so air can enter the finned area.
