Smart Watch Thermal Management Solution

Wearable devices such as smartwatches will constantly come into contact with human skin. Therefore, this brings unique thermal management challenges: balancing comfort, safety, and effective heat dissipation. Traditional rigid materials used for thermal conductivity often fail in this situation because they are not suitable for flexible and stretchable wearable devices. Therefore, effective heat management in smartwatches is crucial for preventing overheating, ensuring user comfort, and maintaining device lifespan
Why is thermal management crucial for smartwatches?
Thermal management is particularly important for smartwatches designed specifically for children, as safety, comfort, and long-term use are crucial. In addition, Elaplus understands the challenges faced by manufacturers in this field and provides professional solutions for efficient thermal control. We focus on this field and provide advanced solutions for smartwatch manufacturing to meet your thermal management needs. Contact us immediately for expert advice and support.
Thermal Management Solution for Smart Watches
Active thermal management
This involves the use of cooling systems powered by external sources, such as fans, heat pipes, and thermoelectric coolers. Although active cooling is more common in large devices, it can be applied in some smartwatch designs to more effectively manage heat.
Passive thermal management
Passive thermal management focuses on dissipating heat through materials and design elements, without the need for an external power source. Common methods include:
Thermal conductive gel: a material that binds components and helps heat transfer.
Thermal conductive silicone grease: a material applied between surfaces to improve heat transfer and prevent overheating.
Thermal pad: a soft material used to improve thermal conductivity and heat dissipation between components.
