What is a Thermal Relief and why do some PCB Designers incorporate it in their design? Can you guess which one above uses Thermal Relief? Does it present a trade-off? First of all, we take a look at 2 ...

If you have high-powered LEDs, or a power supply, or are trying to control larger motors, you have to get a lot of heat out of your circuit boards. The classic way to dissipate heat is to bolt your ...

The impressive capabilities of twenty-first century medical technology, from imaging equipment to surgical instruments and automated immunoassays, are in many ways a tribute to the advances in ...

The electronics industry is driven by a constant demand for smaller and more powerful devices. This means increased power densities and lots more heat being generated within ever-smaller spaces. As a ...

When electrons flow through a resistive material, heat is generated. It’s not uncommon for high-power IC chips to dissipate greater than 50 to 100 W. A few years back, projections showed that chips ...
