I'm planning to mount 3 gecko G201X's on single large fan assisted heatsink.
Do they have to be insulated from the heatsink and each other ?

Thank you

Zeljkoc,

No, they do not. The MOSFETs on the drive are already isolated because of the hard anodizing and there is no risk in mounting the drives on a common heatsink.

Thank you Marcus ! I suspected that might be the case but just wanted to make sure. I don't want to release that special smoke that electronic components are filled with
