Where to heatsink MicroBoost V1

KRNAZNBOY · Feb 1, 2014

Hello, i bought the Microbost drive from illumination supply a while back, and on the potentiometer side, there is a 6-pin rectangular chip, and on the other side there is a square 8-pin chip.

You can see the specs here:

I could not find the answer anywhere...

Thanks!

If you can do like this then you can sink this flat on the back of a larger heatsink.

Keep in mind a little block like this is just to make it flush so you can sink it to something else the small aluminum piece here will add nothing in terms of removing heat on its own.:beer:

I got it sorted, thanks guys!

Also, on the spec sheats it says the max output is 1000ma. Does the pot have some breathing room (and the restriction simply a ballpark)? Can i set it to 1100ma? Just wondering...
