        Why? Some components may get really hot and you may need to place there heatsink or find another way how to take the heat away, otherwise you board may not work properly.
    </div>
</div>


TIP #020: Don’t forget about heat distribution

<div class="entry-content">
    <div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zS2tbjGTadc" class="youtube-player" width="740" height="416.418" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></span>
    </div>
    <div class="blog-content">
        Why? So the ESD pulse doesn’t travel through your board and it discharges immediately behind the connector

            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>

TIP #022: Place ESD protection as close as possible to the connectors

    <div class="blog-content">
        Why? It’s very useful for desoldering components like resistors, capacitors and even some chips.
