Würth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast ·

2026/01/29

Unexpected overheating in electronic systems often appears in places engineers least expect, making reliable design a real challenge. In this episode, we explore why thermal problems don't always follow theory and why standard calculations sometimes miss the true source of heat build-up. You'll learn about the main factors that create hidden thermal resistance, such as air gaps, imperfect interfaces, and material thickness. We explain why the "highest conductivity" materials aren't automatically
