[time-nuts] LPRO-101 Heatsinking

2009-01-11 Thread Michael Baker
Hello, Timenutters-- I only have experience with four different LPRO-101 units, but with respect to heatsinking, all 4 behaved identically during my testing of them. It appears that the LPRO-101 units do not require much heatsinking. I experimented with a variety of heatsinks and discovered that

Steve, I am pretty sure he meant lifting off of the surface that the unit would be sitting on; i.e., the bench. BillWB6BNQ Steve Rooke wrote: > 2009/1/12 Hal Murray : > > > You can get slightly better cooling if you turn it on its side/end, or lift > > the fins off the surface with a coup

I've seen Datum clocks of various sorts with these just mounted to the chassis, no special heatsink, especially the 1RU units. Scott On 01/11/2009 10:13 PM, Glenn Little WB4UIV wrote: > I have a LPRO-101. Before I power it up, I have been advised to use a > heatsink. > How large of a he

My heatsink appears to have a thermal resistance of about 3 degrees C per watt. It is similar to Thermalloy 60975. I will dig deeper into the junk box and see if I can find a heatsink with larger fins. Thanks for the guidance. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 11:50 PM 1/11/2009, you wrote: >Glenn Little WB

I have several of the units and made up a cable to attach 24V power, a voltmeter, and the 10 MHz output. I watched the 10 MHz on a scope against a Thunderbolt as an X-Y display. I did this without using a heat sink and it took about 5 minutes or less for the BITE to indicate lock (going from +5V

I have a LPRO-101. Before I power it up, I have been advised to use a heatsink. How large of a heatsink do I need? I found an extruded heatsink in the junk box. This heatsink has fins about 0.50 inches high. The width is 2.375 inches wide. It is 8.125 inches long. I plan to cut this heatsink in hal

Hi: I've received the 60 kHz version of the C-max CMMR-6P LF time code receiver module. Digi-Key ( 561-1014-ND) has these improperly listed in their catalog and the CMMR-6P data sheet has a typo that may have mislead Digi-Key. The CMMR-6P-ff is an evaluation board for the CME6005 and has the p
