Power Elements Press Fit Slide 12

The current capability of a Würth Elektronik's Power Element, or an individual pin of the component, are influenced by several different factors. The most important factor is the ambient air temperature of the surrounding environment of the components. Shown on this slide are the typical derating behaviors of the Power Elements with full and circumference pin-plate. Other factors which have to be taken into consideration when designing a power-to-board solution with the Power Elements are: the Elements position, whether at the corner of the board or in the center, and what other components are mounted around the Power Elements, and specific issues occurring in the application.
