It would be so nice. Such a beefy heatsink would be cool, literally. Big Grin


Looking for one actually...  but they are hard to find these days;  its an older style TO-220 case heatsink ,  like for the older linear voltage regulators.  The trouble is that they've redesigned those heatsinks to wrap around the 7405 so they're not flat on one side-- so not good for a SoC.  Radio Shack used to carry these heatsinks ( was a common part at one time ).  Seems the only way to get them now is to salvage them from older boards.

If you find one let me know; we can recommend to TLLim to stock; I'lll do same.
