1.  Assembling and Installation Method 

1.1 Mounting method 

OFI1200A series should be mounted to a heatsink or enclosure which 
has sufficient thermal capacity to be cooled by conduction cooling. 
 
OFI1200A has 10 of 4.5mm diameter mounting holes, to keep uniform 
thermal conductivity, use at least 6 mounting holes as shown in Fig. 
1.1. Using all 10 mounting holes is recommended. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
             Minimum                                            Recommended 
                         Fig. 1.1 Mounting hole requirement 
 
A thermal interface material such as thermal pads or thermal grease 
shall be used to ensure proper cooling of the power supply. 
 
OFI1200A28 and OFI1200A48 without option -O (Active ORing), have 
open holes in the aluminium baseplate. When using grease as thermal 
interface material, it could flow to the inside of unit. This is not 
dangerous, but not desirable. We recommended to not apply grease 
closer than 10mm from these holes. See Fig. 1.2 for location of open 
holes.

O.
