Results of Temperature Change
All the components used in the design must withstand the temperature
requirements above.
Thermal Analysis of Electronics
Many more paper and study can be found in the literature and the internet.
Thermal Analysis Tools
Combination of Structural, Thermal and Optical Performance analyses,
also known as ‘STOP’. (e.g. COMSOL STOP analysis)
Thermal Analysis Tools
To implement extensive thermal study while also adding the effects of
other disciplines, software and hardware that are being used should be
carefully selected. They may cost quite an amount of money and the
option of outsourcing should also be considered.

Thermal Design Considerations for
Electronics
The main task during thermal design for electronics is to keep junction temperatures of all electronic
components at safe values under all operating conditions. Also keeping PCB temperature below 105 ◦ C is
another rule of thumb. Fundamental design considerations for electronics are:
