I have a IGBT mudule(attached), need a heatsink to work. It has specifications as:
"0.88C/W IGBT thermal resistance per 1/6 module as well as 1.25C/W free-wheeling diode thermal resistance per 1/6 module" - pp.4.

So, the thermal resistance should be calculated as: 0.88*6+1.25*6=12.87 °C/watt ?? Is that right??

I believe this means you should treat the IGBT and diode
losses separately and criticize them each against ratings
based on these thermal impedance numbers.
