    Nonetheless, all electronics contain semiconductor devices which have operating temperature ranges that should be adhered to. This means that for reliable operation, the thermal design of the conga-IA5 must be carefully considered. For this reason, it is imperative to provide sufficient air flow to each of the components, to ensure the specified operating temperature of the conga-IA5 is maintained.
