ambient temperature could exceed 50

Typical Palladium Operating Temperatures

A wide range of variables can affect the temperature of electronic devices

including ambient temperature, air flow, heat sink and mounting consider-

ations. In a typical test performed at room temperature, the Palladium

250 without a heatsink has been observed to have a baseplate operating

temperature of 40

have a baseplate operating temperature of 37
