Thermal Management at the PCB Level

Tutor, Dr Jeff Punch

Seminar Overview

This one-day seminar brings into focus the problems, and solutions, of designing PCBs for the thermal environment, and will show how to achieve this by the use of practical examples.

The aim of this seminar is to provide delegates with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practice of thermal management in electronic systems.

Next seminar: 4th Nov-08
