Definition of Thermal Management Thermal Management refers to the use of one or a combination of various materials to transmit heat away
from the components or operating area of a PCB to less critical areas,
such as a metal
heatsink / backing, aluminum core, metal core, copper
or other metallic core, or
heavy copper plane layer.
Applications for Thermal Management PCB
The need for thermal management seems to have started in military applications, but its use is becoming widespread in power and light emitting diode, or LED PCB applications. Sign up today for our free thermal management LED PCB webinar.
