Why thermal management is essential for PCB manufacturing?
PCB is the backbone of every Electronic manufacturing company 's electronic product that defines the behavior and properties of a devices. This backbone is densely packed with components and traces that transport electrical signals (both digital and analogue), generating heat due to resistance. You may see this heat in every modern device, including your smartphones and laptops. You'll probably refer to it as the battery heating up. Actually, no! It's the PCBs' heating up which is why the issue is more crucial: the power electronic components like IGBT, BGA, MOSFET, and converters create hotspots on the PCB. These heat generation sources adversely affect PCB performance and efficiency because they eventually damage the chemical or physical characteristics of components. The design part that deals with maintaining temperature are called thermal management. Design methods and additional hardware integration are examples of heat management techniques. But first, let me ex
