This paper deals with the placement of heat dissipating components in hybrid circuits. An optimumplacement is found when the extreme temperatures on the substrate are minimized. Whereas classicaltechniques such as the gradient method require large computational efforts, a simple and very rapidheuristic method is presented here. The heuristic approach offers the advantage that it can be easilyinserted in the design phase of the circuit
