Passive PCB Mounted Thermal Switch
Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) generates heat during operation. In a vacuum this heat can only be rejected by conduction and radiation. To reject heat effectively and avoid overheating, the PCB needs to be thermally conductive to the electronics enclosure. However, if the system rejects too much heat, or not enough heat, either can result in system failure. The thermal switch will be able to regulate the amount of heat the system rejects to stay within the operational temperature range.
