Graphite requires special attention in thermal modeling as the thin layers of adhesive and coating reduce the spreading performance. Modeling only the graphite layer would produce enhanced results. However, modeling the individual layers will increase mesh-density as the typical thickness for the adhesive and coating can vary from 5 to 25μm. Alternatively, one can lump […]
Continue Reading... 5 Comments.We tore down the Dropcam Pro camera for thermal analysis. The camera reveals a simple but clever thermal design that uses an aluminum rear-housing treated with soft touch paint to reduce perception of heat when touched. There is a dedicated heat sink for the image processor and a graphite sheet reinforced with cooper to dissipate heat […]
