Will You Please Be My Heat Sink?

On March 5, 2018 in All, Circuit Protection, Computing, Dev Tools by Bill Schweber

Any heat sink must undergo an evaluation to consider both the directional flow of the heat it expels (if a temperature differential is sufficient) and other sources that may be using the same cooling zone to expel excess heat. Let’s examine the reason why.
