G'day,
I've pretty much finished populating the PCB, drilled and mounted the
copper spreader and installed the four hexagonal spacers.
How much clearance does the PCB have above the copper spreader? The
copper spreader is 1/4" in thickness and the hexagonal spacers are 1/4"
in height also and the PCB basically rests on top of the heat spreader.
To make things worst, the solder pads for the transformer and other
components are touching the heat spreader and hence are shorting to
ground.
What am I missing? Is there a picture of Munin in side-view showing how
the PCB is mounted to the heatsink?
With many thanks in advance,
73, Berndt
