You can have a board that passes all your bench tests and still slowly cook itself to death once it goes into a real enclosure with real loads.
These thermal issues are sneaky. They sit there hidden in the design, hurting reliability or waiting to turn into dangerous overheating under the right conditions.
So I just published a new video that walks you through 10 common PCB design mistakes that cause overheating and thermal failures, and what to do instead.
Whether you’re building something low-power or something that pushes real current, these issues can cause costly redesigns if you don't catch them early.
Watch the video here:
