Hi all,
I am a bit new to building electronic circuits but have decided to have a go at a 0-30v 6 amp dc power supply. I have built most of the circuit on stripboard and I am about to mount the 2N3055 and the power resistors.
The question I have is can anyone see any problems with me mounting the transistor and resistor on the same heatsink beside each other or does this not really matter? The heatsink will be insulated from the surrounding casing and I am planning to use two 40mm dia fans for forced cooling.
Regards
Ian
