| Kai Klaas said: Raj said: I do not have space for heatsinking pad/Plane on the PCB... So, go for the TO220 package and mount it onto a proper heatsink. Even though I still strongly suggest looking into a small switcher design......you can consider that the LM1117 in TO-220 package can be mounted vertical on the board. There are various heat sinks that can then clip/solder to two holes in the circuit board and also directly bolt to the tab of the TO-220 package.     Michael Karas |
