Heat management for SMD, LED, and systems 1W to 50W
Do you use power MOSFETs, high power LEDs, power resistors, or hot processors in your design and want to avoid heat related system failures? This course covers the best options for you to manage heat cost effectively and reliably. It gives a good overview of PCB design to maximize SMD/LED heat dissipation.
Register now! (1 seat per person)
It also covers how to choose the right heat sink interface materials, heat sink designs, natural and forced airflow options as well as heat dissipation simulations (both mechanical and in software).
We’ll go over some helpful tools, and break down thermal resistance equations to simple terms. Heat management doesn’t have to be scary. Take this class to know your options. Now with LED specifics!
