MOUNTING INSTRUCTION

The power dissipated in the circuit must 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 package it is betterto insert a layer of silicon

grease, to optimize the thermal contact, no electri-

cal isolation is needed between the two surfaces.
