I always add a extra heat sink on the panasonics because they all run at 80 or 81 deg C and I know the rating on he IC is at 100 deg C but for me thats too close to max. That old peice of tin they use is not a very good heat sink. Buy TO220 heat sink by Wakefield Semi. and I just add the cost to the bill. Al G Kevin wrote: > > What temperature is it running at?
