@gunrunnerjohn posted:Well, if you could find one of the modified PS32 boards for one-gauge, those were beefed up with a heatsink on the motor driver FET, that would probably be one to try if you wanted to swap boards.
Not a first choice, as I could not find one, AND I would have to change all the lights
If you want to stick with the PS/2 board, adding a heatsink to the driver FET,
Could I prevail upon you to show me where the driver FET is?
even if you have to dispense with the plastic carrier, might be a smart move.
I had actually considered that, but need to know where the critical components are to make sure I have decent high thermal conductivity path
I'd also make sure the bridge rectifier has a GOOD heatsink, perhaps a custom one with a better bond to the chassis.
Same request about the bridge rectifier
Those are the two high current critical components in the motor drive circuit.
Thanks in advance!
Truthfully, I think just blowing air on it with a tiny fan is going to be a lot less effective than better heatsinking. Adding the fan as well can't hurt...
