Voltage regulator--how to mount?
Hey,
I'm using a RadioShack voltage regulator to regulate 5v for a project I'm working on. I have this regulator: http://www.radioshack.com/sm-5v-fixe...i-2062599.html and I'm trying to figure out how to mount it. What is the safest way to mount such a regulator? I'm aware that it will get hot if it steps down voltage (which it will have to in my project), and so that rules out hot glue or any other thermally-insulating glue. I'm mounting it to the inside of an Altoids tin, so I figure I should use the tin as a heatsink--but I'm a programmer/electrical guy and have no idea what my options are. Thanks for your input, JBot |
