Heatsink info for VVR?

Post by sbolt »

Hi, I did a search-does anyone have a reference or part# suitable for a heatsink to be used for the installation of a VVR3 on a 50 watt amp with steel chassis?

thanks in advance

A <3°C/W heatsink should be OK. There are hundreds of different models to choose from, depending on your location, amp chassis, available space, mosfet used, etc.

you mean <3 degrees C/W thermal resistance of the heatsink right?

If that is so, then I can see I have a lot of choices,

thanks

Yes. And the lower the better.
