How the Calculation Works (Linear Scaling)

Formula:

Degree Celsius per Watt = Kelvin per Watt × 1

Substitution:1 × 1

Calculated Result:1 °C/W

Since 1 Kelvin per Watt = 1 Degrees Celsius per Watt, multiply the value in Kelvins per Watt by 1.

Standard Ratio Factor:1 K/W = 1 °C/W

Exact Ratio

About Kelvin per Watt (K/W)

The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance, representing the temperature difference in kelvins across a structure when 1 watt of heat flows through it.

History: Introduced as the thermal analogue of electrical resistance (Ohm’s law analogue: ΔT = P × R_th).

Common Uses: Semiconductor heatsink ratings, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, electronics cooling design.

About Degree Celsius per Watt (°C/W)

Thermal resistance in Celsius degrees per watt, exactly equal to 1 kelvin per watt (1 °C/W = 1 K/W).

History: Widely used in commercial semiconductor packaging and CPU cooler specifications.

Common Uses: CPU/GPU cooler thermal performance ratings, power transistor datasheets.
