With the continued miniaturization of automotive electronics, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designers must consider the thermal demands in these smaller assemblies. This is especially true in PCBs that operate at high current-carrying capacity, as the increases in heat can lead to “hotspots”. In turn, these hotspots can cause warped, blistered, or even burnt boards, leading to premature component failure.
