Attach the heatsink to the PCB
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 5:06 pm
Hi,
Since the heatsink is not attached to the PCB its only held ny the IGBTs solder joints. When carrying the Casing it will bounce and stress the solder joints a bit.
I wondered why there is no hole in the pcb to use a screw, since the heat sink even has this threaded path in the right position, but since of all the big pads its probably not possible to make one now.
But maybe at least a little bit of hot glue or a piece of double faced adhesive tape shouldnt harm the electronics and support the heat sink to stay in place.
Anything against this?
