[0002] With the development of society, electrical components have become an indispensable tool in life. PCB boards are a very important component of electrical components. The operation of electrical appliances will cause the heating of magnetic components. Good heat dissipation is an important prerequisite for ensuring the stable operation of electrical components. In existing devices, air cooling and water cooling are generally used for heat dissipation.
