Conductor: A material that allows the easy fl ow
of electricity, such as metals, electrolytes, etc.
See Insulator.
Conduction Cooling: The transfer of heat through
a solid material. Used to cool electrical components
or subassemblies (such as a power supply) by
the addition of heat sinking, as shown in Figure 7.
This effectively increases the component or subassembly
case surface area, lowering the thermal
resistance. Thermal resistance equals:
