MOUNTING INSTRUCTION
The powerdissipated in the circuitmust be removed
by adding an external heatsink.
Thanks to the Heptawatt package attaching the
hetsink is very simple, a screw or a compression
spring (clip) being sufficient. Between the heatsink
and the packageit is betterto insert a layer of silicon
grease, to optimize the thermal contact, no electri-
cal isolation is needed between the two surfaces.
