Re: Heatsink for the 49'r?


 

All:

It wouldn't hurt to put one on, especially if you're running over 12V on the board. I've not tested it, but i read somewhere that the PA transistor get very hot above 12V.

I've seen some images of Forty9'rs with small heat sinks.. What is the consensus on this.. Is there enough heat generated to warrant adding one.. particularly in smaller enclosures, or should good ventilation be enough ??

What have users found that works as a good bolt on one?
