Why thermal management is essential for PCB manufacturing?

The selection of the PCB manufacturing process, testing, and inspection procedures must always be in accordance with thermal management standards. PCB is the backbone of every electronic product that defines the behavior and properties of a device. This backbone is densely packed with components and traces that transport electrical signals (both digital and analogue), generating heat due to resistance. You may see this heat in every modern device, including your smartphones and laptops. You'll probably refer to it as the battery heating up. Actually, no! It's the PCBs' heating up which is why the issue is more crucial: the power electronic components like IGBT, BGA, MOSFET, and converters create hotspots on the PCB.
