PCB Thermal Design
Jun 13, 2022|Product Innovations and Design
The majority of electronic devices emit considerable amounts of waste heat through the power components inside them. This heat build-up can cause severe damage to sensitive circuits such as microprocessors, RAM, and other essential parts. That’s why a PCB (printed circuit board) is needed to ensure high performance in these devices. Yet, What is a PCB? A printed circuit board is...
