PCB Thermal Jumpers What are SMD Thermal Jumpers and How to Implement them in Your Next Design!

In this article, we will talk about SMD thermal management and design, and specifically about PCB Thermal Jumpers or Thermal Conductors. If we were to take the heat out from a through-hole component, the simple way is to put a big heat sink on and the heat sink will draw out all the heat from the device. The main advantage of the SMD component is that it reduces manual labor…

Flexible Radiative Cooler for Thermal Protection in Wearable Devices Scientists Develop Flexible Radiative Cooler for Thermal Protection in Wearable Devices

In a new approach to thermal protection in outdoor wearable electronics, scientists from Korea and the US have developed an innovative solution, the radiative cooler that keeps wearable devices cool even under direct sunlight. Led by Professor Young Min Song from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea, the team produced a nano-/micro-voids polymer (…

All About Transformer Protection Systems All About Transformer Protection and Transformer Protection Circuits

Transformer protection is crucial as transformers are one of the most critical and expensive components of any distribution system. It is an enclosed static device usually drenched in oil, and hence, faults occurring in it are limited. But the effect of a rare fault can be hazardous for the transformer, and the long lead time for repair and replacement of transformers makes…
