A set of LEDs mounted on a metal-core printed circuit board (MCPCB) were studied. The contributions to the total thermal resistance from a heavy heat sink, MCPCB, heat slug and LED chip are separated. %N 12 %K thermal resistance, light emitting diodes, nitrides %P 124-128 %V 15 %D 2012 %I Institute of Semiconductor Physics of Ukraine %L zu28347
