So, I’ve started my own build thread
I definitely welcome any feedback on the build.
I’d also like to confirm my plan for mounting the little FOCer to the box body. I’ve searched around but haven’t found much info on how to properly heatsink the mosfets. I know they can short if they touch the heatsink, so I’d rather make sure I’m doing this properly. Apologies if I’m asking about something obvious.
The plan is to use 4mm metal standoffs that are screwed to the bottom of the alu box. Then I’ll use 0.5 mm isolating washers (fishpaper-like material) and I’ve got a 0.5 mm silicone thermal pad, that I’ll put under the mosfets. I’ve measured the spacing on the heatsink that came with the Little FOCer and it’s the same dimensions: 4mm plastic standoffs with 0.5 mm washers and what appears to be 0.5 mm silicone pad. The mosfets should be 4mm.
Is there anything special to be careful about? Anything I should do differently?
