Hi,
With the Dual 50V 5A H Bridge Speedo you mention that it can drive up to 27 amps continuous with a suitable heatsink attached.

Please could you specify a heatsink that would do the job and where I might be able to purchase one. So far the ones I have found would not fit the layout of the components very well.

Many thanks

Alex,

We have not found a suitable heatsink yet so will be producing one when we get chance. A number of customers have made their own from I believe CPU heatsinks. Feedback we have received suggests that a couple of tracks can blow but when linked out with wire are fine. It is quite possible that these customers had a greater load than the 27A max.

If there is sufficient interest, we will further investigate a solution.

Regards

Paul
