The thermal images (not simulations) above are of the OAR products at their respective power rating. Notice the
solder joint temperature is much lower than the hotspot. The unique construction of the OAR isolates the tempera-
ture of the hotspot from the circuit board material preventing damage to the circuit board. Additionally, the thermal
energy is dissipated to the air instead of being conducted into the circuit board potentially causing a nearby power
component to exceed its rating.
The standard test circuit board consists of a four layer FR4 material with 2 ounce (70µm) outer layers and 1 ounce
(35µm) inner layers, which is typical of many industry designs. The test conditions were in ambient temperature
conditions, approximately 22 °C with no forced air. Contact TT electronics for more details or for other thermal image
test data for specific resistance values and power levels.

The typical power derating curves are based on conservative design concepts that extend from fi lm
based products. The OAR is a solid metal alloy construction that can withstand comparably greater
operating power levels than conservative design models permit. Typically the resistive alloys can
withstand temperatures in excess of 300°C. Therefore, system thermal design considerations are a more
signifi cant design parameter due to the heat limitations of solder joints and/or circuit board substrate
materials.

The Surge current charts are approximations of the capabilities of the OAR product and should not be
used to the exclusion of actual testing. The relative high surge currents depicted in the charts are as a
result of the robust all metal welded construction and the heat carrying capability of metal. Additionally
the OAR resistive wire provides large relative cross section for current fl ow as compared to other resistor
technologies, such as thin fi lm, thick fi lm, or metal strip.
