is 1.6 K/W, so you can use it.
Yaskawa recommends the external heatsink "EK (95) L: 150" to prevent overheat if there is a
temporary temperature increase or a decrease in the cooling capacity of the external heatsink
because of dust and unwanted material.

The thermal resistance of the external heatsink

is 1.6 K/W. You can use the
formula to calculate the heatsink plate temperature.
The temperature of the heatsink plate is lower than the maximum value of 90 °C, so you can use
it. Because the thermal transfer area is 70% of the drive mounting area, and the environmental
conditions can change because dust and unwanted material can decrease the cooling capacity of
the external heatsink, Yaskawa recommends
