°F·hour per BTU to kelvin per watt
Type a value in °F·h/BTU to get it in K/W instantly.
3.791K/W
That's 7.6× as insulating as a large finned heatsink, while a small clip-on heatsink is 1.32× higher. A 10 W part on it would sit about 37.91 °C above ambient.
Convert the other way: K/W to °F·h/BTU
What it means
How well does it get rid of heat?
Heatsink ratings assume free air. Forced airflow can halve the figure, and a poor thermal interface can add more resistance than the heatsink removes.
The math
How to convert °F·h/BTU to K/W
To convert °F·hour per BTU to kelvin per watt, multiply by 1.89563.
Example: 2 °F·h/BTU × 1.89563 = 3.79127 K/W.
In the other direction, 1 K/W = 0.527528 °F·h/BTU.
