Hi all,
I have some 5 amp steppers and Gecko 201's
I was wondering just how much heat sink is required.
What I would like to do is mount them on a 4"x4" x 1/4 aluminum plate
on my floppy holder in my old PC case and have a fan blow across them.
Some of the aftermarket heat sinks have some pretty heavy fins.
Any words of advice ? cautions ?
