In this paper, a method for estimating the temperature of densely mounted chip components is discussed. It is assumed that several to dozens of small chip components are mounted in a grid shape and the heat generation of each component is about 0.1 W or less. The temperature distribution and heat flows in the board under various board conditions were investigated by numerical experiments using CFD simulation. Based on the results, a simple estimation formula that can be used for temperature estimation for densely mounted components is proposed.
