Clark thanks for the advice. I kinda already did that with the original heatsink. I modified it to fit flat to the chassis and have the transistor mounting screw thru the chassis and into the heatsink. I was surprised that the heatsink got warm as well. I expected the chassis to absorb most of the heat. If it gets too warm my thought was to replace it with a microprocessor heatsink and small fan
That is an awfully small heatsink for the power being dissipated. ?I would go with something at least 2¡± x 2¡± x 1/2¡±.
