- A heat sink is a mechanical device. It is connected to a power transistor in order to dissipate heat generated.
- The heat flows through the heat sink and is radiated to the surrounding air. If a heat sink is not used then all the heat has to be transferred from a transistor case to the surrounding air causing the case temperature to increase.
- In a transistor, the collector-to-base junction temperature rises because of self-heating. The self-heating is due to the power dissipated at the collector junction.
- This power dissipation at the junction causes the junction temperature to rise, and this in turn increases the collector current which causes a further increase in power dissipation.
- If the phenomenon continues then it may result in permanent damage to the transistor. This is known as thermal runaway.
