measurements will reveal a highly non-uniform temperature distribution across the

inlet fan section.

For passive heatsinks, thermocouples should be placed approximately 3 mm away

from the heatsink as shown in Figure 12.

Note: Testing an active heatsink with a variable speed fan can be done in a thermal

chamber to capture the worst-case thermal environment scenarios. Otherwise, when

doing a bench top test at room temperature, the fan regulation prevents the heatsink

from operating at its maximum capability. To characterize the heatsink capability in

the worst-case environment in these conditions, it is then necessary to disable the fan

regulation and power the fan directly, based on guidance from the fan supplier.
