- Semiconductor components such as diodes and transistors are easily damaged by the high temperatures of soldering, so care must be taken to protect these components during the soldering process. One way to do this is to use a heat sink to draw heat away from the component without cooling the connection point too much. Heat sinks made out of sheet metal may be temporarily clipped to the component leads, one at a time, to prevent the solder's high temperature from thermally conducting all the way to the component body: In the absence of a formal heat sink, can you think of any ways to fashion your own ïmpromptu" heat sinks out of commonly available tools and/or objects?arrow_forwardCalculate element and welding currents with mesh analysis.arrow_forwardThe 'skin effecť is a phenomenon experienced when current flows through a metal. Which two of the following statements are correct? 15 Select one or more: O a. A smaller 'skin depth' implies a higher resistance O b. Direct current can cause the skin effect O c.
