Why Does Your PCB Overheat? 🔥

Most engineers look at components first. But sometimes, the real culprit is the PCB layout — not the parts on it.

Here are the most common layout issues that lead to overheating:

1️⃣ Narrow power traces

2️⃣ Missing thermal vias

3️⃣ Heat sources placed too close together

4️⃣ Inefficient power routing

5️⃣ Insufficient copper coverage

The key takeaway: Thermal performance is shaped by how copper is distributed, how vias are placed, and how current is routed — not just by what components you choose.
