Well, due to some practical experience I could gather in my engineering life, my thermometer is my finger :-) . As long as I can touch something without feeling burned, it is below 75° C. Maybe, I should re-consider this because since a while, I watch cooking shows in TV, and noticed that the professional Chefs simply use their fingers to turn around a piece of meat in the pan. As I like cooking myself, I tried the same, and felt burned in the beginning but in the meantime, my fingers got used to higher temperatures. So I possibly need a re-calibration. On the other hand, modern semiconductors can stand higher termperatures than the good old Germanium components. So possibly the increased "is-hot" threshold in my fingers exactly matches the progress of modern components.
