Installation positions
Note | |
Constraints regarding installation position and operating temperature range Please refer to the technical data for a component to ascertain whether any restrictions regarding the installation position and/or the operating temperature range have been specified. When installing high power dissipation components ensure that an adequate spacing is maintained between other components above and below the terminal in order to guarantee adequate ventilation! |
Optimum installation position (standard)
The optimum installation position requires the mounting rail to be installed horizontally and the connection surfaces of the components to face forward (see Fig. Recommended distances for standard installation position). “From below” is relative to the acceleration of gravity.
Compliance with the distances shown in Fig. Recommended distances for standard installation position is recommended.
Other installation positions
All other installation positions are characterized by different spatial arrangement of the mounting rail - see Fig Other installation positions.
The minimum distances to ambient specified above also apply to these installation positions.
