Heat Sink Thermal Resistance
This calculator helps determine the maximum thermal resistance a heat sink can have to keep a component within its safe operating temperature. Thermal resistance, measured in degrees Celsius per Watt (°C/W), describes how well a material resists the flow of heat. A lower value means better heat dissipation. By providing the power your component dissipates as heat and the maximum acceptable temperature rise above ambient, you can calculate the required thermal performance of your cooling solution.
