I see, I've always wondered if the internal electronics are specially made because the modules are really too hot. Assuming a temperature increase of 10 degrees and the operating life is reduced by half, the module life should not be long.

Unfortunately they need to be heated to *different* temperatures. This makes for an interesting design. Insulate things to well and the one that is supposed to be at a slightly lower temperature is heated up by energy from the hotter zone. In addition, the board with all the electronics on it ( or boards) are full of very normal electronic components. Their failure rate goes up the hotter they get. Heat sinks do indeed help keep all of this in balance. The heaters are designed to get the physics package to the appropriate temperature from some very low point ( 0 or maybe -30C). They have *plenty* of reserve power capability. In addition, they run at relatively low power (relative to their ratings) in normal operation. Optimizing to reduce their failure rate while increasing the failure rate of a few hundred other parts does not improve the life of the Rb … Bob On Nov 23, 2020, at 7:33 AM, 李 <[email protected]> wrote: When the Rb clock is working, it needs a high temperature, isn't heat dissipation breaking the heat balance?Increased power consumption？ | | 李 | | 邮箱[email protected] | 签名由 网易邮箱大师 定 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
