PCB and HDA temperatures
To obtain the maximum temperature for each of the reference components listed, add 20°C to the 1,000,000
hour MTBF case temperatures. The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C (see Figure 9). Oper-
ation of the drive at the maximum case temperature is intended for short time periods only. Continuous opera-
tion at the elevated temperatures will reduce product reliability. The maximum allowable HDA case
temperature to meet the 1,000,000 hour MTBF is 45°C.
The air-flow pattern with which the temperature guidelines above were generated is shown in Figure 7. Local
average air velocities were 0.92 m/sec (180 lfpm) and inlet air temperature to the drive was 25°C (77°F), plus a
5°C temperature rise in the test enclosure (30°C ambient local to the drive).
