Fixing the Roasted Test Load

Ғылым және технология

Repairing the donated 35W electronic USB test load that I damaged by a too high power dissipation or more likely a too high voltage. Some websites say it is 4-30V, some say 3-21V, but I've accidentally connected it to 36V.

    The devices are actually measured in extreme conditions by the manufacturer. This is done using a water cooled plate and an excellent thermal contact. Case temperature is monitored and the actual junction temperature is measured through junction forward voltage. This is how the thermal resistance is specified.

    You could use a refridgeration loop to keep the case well below freezing. But that would only be for a whole bank of transistors, nobody is gonna freeze a single transistor unless it's some weird application where it needs to be frozen anyway (ex, it's running in the circuits inside of an industrial freezer).

    they do the same thing with switching fets, you can never push the current they say it will take as there is no heatsink that could keep the junction temperature within limits. it's all done to make them look good on the first page. :-)

    @@davidknightaudio934 it maybe the spec at 25°C but you try and achieve those currents and maintain the FET at 25°C. it's done to make them stand out as i said. every engineer knows that you have to work with the smallest heatsink that works for your specified performance requirements. but you take the max current figures with a pinch of salt. it might prove me wrong if we look at the RDSon, max current, max junction temperature, and thermal resistance from junction to case at 25°C . would be great to see how hot the junction will get if we pull the max rated current.

    @@davidknightaudio934 All I'm saying is that they use the max ratings in large bold font on the front page, where the non engineers get excited over the part. Where as we understand that these max values all fall over when you start to look and understand the derating curves etc. So in affect they are just eye candy. I once used a 1ohm 1kw resistor which was mounted on a very large with very high powered fan cooled heatsink. As it was needed to disipate over 3kw's with all the loads mounted on it. the resistor blew up at about a 1/4 of its rating, reading the small print it needed a polished mounting surface not just machined to achieve the low thermal resistance it needed!
